Tips for a Stress-Free Family Photoshoot with Kids
As parents, we know the biggest worry before a photoshoot is often: "How will the kids behave?" The key to beautiful, authentic family photos is ensuring everyone — especially the little ones — feels relaxed, happy, and free to be themselves. Our photographers are experts at this, but a little preparation goes a long way. Here are our top tips for a fun and stress-free session.
Tips for a Stress-Free Family Photoshoot with Kids
Time It Right
Plan your session around your children's natural rhythms. For toddlers and young children, a morning session after a good breakfast is often ideal. Avoid scheduling during nap times or right before a meal when energy levels are low. A happy, well-rested child is a photogenic child.
Talk It Up (But Keep It Low-Key)

Talk It Up (But Keep It Low-Key)
In the days leading up to the shoot, talk about it as a fun activity. You can say, "We're going to meet a new friend at the beach to play and take some pictures!" Avoid putting too much pressure on them to "smile for the camera." The more it feels like an adventure, the more natural their expressions will be.

Bring Snacks & Water
A hungry or thirsty child is a grumpy child. Pack a small bag with easy, non-messy snacks and water. A quick snack break can reset a fading mood instantly.
Let Them Be Little
Don't stress about perfection. If your toddler wants to run in the sand or your child wants to show the photographer a cool rock they found, let them. Our photographers are masters at turning these candid, in-between moments into the most cherished photos. The goal of a great family photographer is to capture your family's unique personality, not to force stiff poses.
Trust Your Photographer
You've hired a professional who is experienced in working with children of all ages. They will have games, prompts, and tricks to elicit genuine smiles and laughter. Relax, engage with your family, and let the photographer lead.

Style Guide: What to Wear for Your Family Photos
Deciding on outfits is often one of the most challenging parts of planning a photoshoot, but it doesn't have to be. The goal is to look coordinated, not identical, and to choose clothing that is both comfortable and complementary to your chosen location. Here is our simple style guide for your family photo session outfits.
Style Guide: What to Wear for Your Family Photos
Coordinate, Don't Match
Instead of putting everyone in the same white shirt and jeans, choose a complementary color palette of 3–4 colors. Think soft blues, creams, and tans for a beach setting, or warm earth tones like rust, mustard, and olive for a park. This creates visual harmony without looking dated.
Embrace Texture & Movement

Embrace Texture & Movement
Fabrics with texture — like linen, chunky knits, chambray, and flowy dresses — add depth and interest to your photos. A dress that catches the breeze or a soft sweater creates a sense of life and movement that looks beautiful on camera.

Prioritize Comfort (Especially for Kids)
If your child is uncomfortable in their clothes, it will show in the photos. Choose soft, breathable fabrics and ensure outfits are well-fitted and allow for easy movement. For shoes, consider the location: barefoot on the beach, stylish sneakers for the city, or comfortable boots for a rustic setting.
Avoid Distractions
Steer clear of large logos, busy patterns, and neon colors, as they can distract from the most important subject: your family's faces and connection. Solid colors or subtle, small-scale patterns are always a safe and timeless choice.
Lay It All Out
Before the session, lay all the outfits out on a bed together. This allows you to see how the colors, textures, and styles work as a cohesive group and make adjustments before the day of the shoot.

For that beautiful, soft, and flattering light, we almost always recommend scheduling your session during the "golden hour" — the first hour after sunrise or the last hour before sunset. The light is less harsh, which means no squinting, and it creates a warm, magical glow. We are also happy to work around your family's schedule, especially nap times for little ones.

Our standard 60-minute package is designed for immediate families of up to 10 people. However, we absolutely love capturing multi-generational and extended family sessions. If your group is larger than 10, our 90-minute session is designed for families of up to 15 people, and our 2-hour session is designed for families of up to 20 people.
Don't worry — we are constantly monitoring the weather ahead of your session. If the forecast looks unfavorable, your photographer will be in touch to discuss options. We can often find a break in the weather, move to a beautiful covered location, or reschedule to another day during your trip if schedules permit. Our goal is to ensure you get photos you love, rain or shine.
You will receive a link to your private online gallery of professionally edited, high-resolution images within 5–7 business days of your photoshoot. From there, you can easily download your favorite images, share the gallery with family and friends, and order prints directly.
Absolutely! We love it when families have a vision. If you have a specific spot in mind, please share it with us. Alternatively, if you're unsure, your local family vacation photographer is an expert in their city and can provide a curated list of stunning, family-friendly locations that match the vibe you're hoping for — whether it's a secluded beach, a vibrant city street, or a quiet park.
Yes. If you would like maternity photos that include your children or the whole family, please book a family photoshoot and mention in your questionnaire that you would love a mix of maternity-focused portraits and family photos.
If the session will include only the expecting parents, our couples photoshoot is usually the best fit instead. Either way, the pricing is the same — we simply want to make sure you choose the session type that best matches who will be photographed.
