Family Photoshoot in Paris

A family photoshoot in Paris takes one to two hours and works best in the first two hours after sunrise. We walk, we play, and we photograph — the standing-still portrait is the last two minutes, not the whole session.

Families are the sessions where the plan matters most. Small children have about forty good minutes in them, so we spend those first, on the thing that matters most to you, and we keep the rest light. Nobody is asked to say cheese. We give the kids something to do and we photograph what happens next. 

Where we photograph families in Paris

Room to run, and shade when you need it.

Pont Alexandre III
Gold lamp posts, cherubs and a bridge wide enough that nobody has to stand still. Our most shot spot after the Tower.
Le Recrutement, our café stop
Where we stop on longer sessions. Hot chocolate, a warm room and twenty minutes of photos nobody had to pose for.
Tuileries and the Louvre
Fountains, statues and wide alleys. Good in every season and never muddy after rain.
Trocadéro Gardens, early
The postcard, before the crowd. Worth the early alarm once, for the frame that goes on the wall.

Photographer tip

Feed everyone first and bring one snack you have not shown them yet. It sounds trivial and it is the single biggest predictor of how a family session goes.

How a family session actually runs

Four things that make the difference with children.

The group photo comes first
While everyone is still fresh and clean. We get the one for the grandparents in the first ten minutes, then we relax.
We photograph the parents too
Most families arrive with photos of the kids and none of the couple. We fix that while the children are busy.
Movement beats posing
Walking, swinging, carrying, running back. Children look natural when they are doing something, never when they are being still.
We follow the child, not the plan
If a two-year-old wants to look at pigeons for five minutes, that is the shot. We do not fight it.

What to wear for a family photoshoot

Pick one palette and let everyone sit inside it: cream, camel and olive, or navy, grey and white. Do not dress the family identically — it reads as a uniform in photos. One person can carry a pattern, everyone else stays solid.

Dress children for the temperature, not for the photo. A cold child is a finished session. Layers you can remove, shoes they can run in, and a spare top in the bag for whatever happens at breakfast. 

Frequently asked

How much does a family photoshoot in Paris cost?

From €450 for one hour at one spot. Up to 4 people are included, +€150 for 5 to 8 people.

What is the best time for a family session?

The first two hours after sunrise, or the two hours before sunset. With small children, the morning wins - they are at their best and the spots are empty.

How long should a family session last?

One hour with young children, two hours from school age. Longer sessions with toddlers rarely produce more photos, only more tired parents.

Can grand parents join?

Yes. Tell us the group size when you book so we choose a route with somewhere to sit.

What if our child will not cooperate?

That is normal and we plan for it. We photograph what the child is doing rather than trying to redirect them, and the honest frames are usually the ones parents keep.

Can we include a stroller or a baby carrier?

Yes. Tell us in advance and we pick a route without stairs.
