Answered
Anything not covered here — get in touch, or see all 21 family photography FAQs →
How much does a family photoshoot cost?
Most sessions are R4,650 for a 2-hour Standard Session — that covers almost everyone. If you are based near Durbanville and only need a short session, there is also a 1-hour Mini Shoot from R2,950. Full breakdown on the pricing page.
How long does a family session take?
Most sessions run 2 hours, with a shorter 1-hour option and longer 4–8 hour sessions available if you want more variety across the day.
Where do you shoot family photos in Cape Town?
Wherever suits your family best — the Atlantic Seaboard, the Winelands, or the Southern Suburbs. We will choose together during your pre-session brief.
What should we wear for our family photoshoot?
Soft, coordinated tones work best. We will cover exactly what to wear — and what to avoid — before your shoot. More detail on the FAQ page.
Do we get all the photos, or is there a cutoff?
Every package includes all usable photos from the session — no cap, no cutoff, no upgrade required.
How long until we get our photos?
Your gallery is delivered within 7 days of the session, via WeTransfer.
Can we combine a maternity or matric shoot with our family session?
Yes — maternity and matric farewell sessions are both offered separately, and many families book more than one milestone with me. Maternity · Matric farewell · Newborn shoots.
Popular session areas: Camps Bay family photography · Bloubergstrand family photography · Stellenbosch & Winelands family photography
