How I take my sim's photo's and make them family portraits
Hi there simmers. Since we got Growing together I felt my game needed more family portraits in their houses, but I am not a big fan of having mods in my game so had to try and do it with what the game offers, and I managed to do it as explained below in a spoiler under the pics I have made in game so far ;)
I have removed everything from the spoiler so that I can fix images, so all of it is below the spoiler, they seem to be broken in the new forums.
It is a bit of a big tutorial so please bare with me, I tried to make it very easy to explain.
You will need two things for this to work.
The family portrait (we got it a few years ago as a gift when installing the mobile sims game. It is available here if you missed out then ;) https://sims4studio.com/thread/13060/glassplumbob 
and you need the basegame crystal clear digital camera. (You need to buy it and place it in your sim's inventory)
Once your family portrait frame is against the wall it will automatically display the household as it is. Mine is currently a mom with her infant. You can change the outfits and randomize the poses by selecting the portrait.
Once you have your desired pose and outfit then walk your sim over to the portrait, make sure they face the portrait. I usually have them walk past it so that they have to turn around to face it to walk closer. Once they are in position click on the camera in their inventory and select take photo. Your walls can be down, mine is only up because I need to show you round about where your sim should stand, they can stand back a bit more, but with the camera you have you can zoom out which helps.
It will look like this, you can select which size photo you would like, I selected large for this one
Once the photo's are taken, then go find a spot in the house you would like to place them.
You can place the photo on the wall by dragging it out from the inventory against the wall.

then select to add a frame and the colour
and wolla you have a nice pic of the family in a frame :)
You can also drag photo's into the photo frames we got with Mochino stuff and Growing together ;)
Hope this helps you all, happy simming <3
