A family photoshoot is a record of
right now.
Who is walking, who is talking, who still wants to be carried, who is taller than their mum this month. Families rarely stay the same shape for long, which is exactly why a session booked this year looks nothing like the one you would book in three.
Studio, outdoors, or the whole family
together.
Different families need different settings. The main choice is whether you want a controlled studio session, a relaxed location shoot, or enough time and space for a larger multi-generation group.

Reads the guidesA family session can cover far more than
parents and small children.
Parents & children
Whole-family portraits, parent-and-child combinations and individual photographs of the children.
Babies & toddlers
Plan the timing around naps, feeding and the part of the day when younger children are usually most settled.
Grandparents
Multi-generation portraits can include grandparents with the full family and smaller combinations.
Siblings
Photograph siblings together as part of the family session, and individually where the session length allows.
Adult families
Family photoshoots are not only for households with young children. Adult siblings and parents can book too.
Pets
Contact AOU Studio before booking if you want to bring a pet so suitability and studio requirements can be confirmed.
You don’t need everyone to behave. You need someone to direct it.
Family sessions work best when the groupings are planned before anyone arrives. Your photographer works through the full group first while attention is fresh, then breaks into smaller combinations: parents together, each child alone, grandparents with the grandchildren, the cousins in one unlikely row.
