📅 Booking Your Family Photo Session

Once you’re ready to book, we’ll schedule a date that works best for you. Each session lasts around 1–2 hours and includes a mix of relaxed, candid moments and more traditional family portraits. Maryna’s goal is to make the process fun and stress-free, especially for little ones.

👗 What to Wear for Your Family Portraits

To create a cohesive and timeless look, we recommend bringing up to three outfit options per person. For best results, consider:

  • Smart casual styles
  • Neutral, earthy tones like white, beige, grey, soft blues, and mauves
  • Coordinated colour palettes across the whole family

Thoughtfully chosen outfits add harmony and elegance to your final images.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What should I wear for the family photo session?

A: It is always best to wear clothing in natural colours (blue, beige, white, brown) that are free from large logos, letters and numbers as these can be distracting.


Please do not choose black and white boldly patterned and stripy t-shirts or tops and try to avoid beach shorts and flip-flops! Though they are great for holiday wear, they do not contribute to good portraiture.


Collared shirts of a single colour or with a very gentle pattern are the best for men and boys.
Brightness and business of clothing make pictures look busy and distract attention from the main focus which is the person in the photo.
For family and sibling portraits, colour coordinated clothing is best. Bringing a few changes of outfits will make for a greater variety in your pictures. We will help you to mix and match if you are not sure.

Q: How many people can take part in the family session?

A: No family is too small or too large. We have photographed large groups of around 20 people. In the studio however it could be a little bit busy with very big families, but it is still possible

Q: What if my child will not cooperate?

A: Young children can be a handful and cause parents a lot of stress during the photo session. The way we deal with them is to give them time and not to force them to do anything, and eventually they may want to come and join in. The more stressed the parent becomes, the naughtier the toddler is, so the best approach is to stay calm. Photo sessions on location tend to be a bit more relaxed for the kids as there is more space for them to run around.

If however, nothing works, we can reschedule the session for another day (it has, however, never happened!)
