Questions

What clients usually ask.

How long is a family photoshoot?

Usually about an hour. With very young children we plan breaks and keep it short; for larger families or several locations we allow more time.

What should we wear?

Light, coordinated colours work best on the beach: whites, creams, soft pinks and blues. We send a few suggestions once your shoot is confirmed.

When is the best time for maternity photos?

Usually between the seventh and eighth month, when the bump shows and you are still comfortable moving around.

How much does a family photoshoot cost?

Each shoot is quoted individually once we know the location, the timing and how long you would like. Tell us what you have in mind and a named person replies within one business day.

Can our hotel concierge arrange it for us?

Yes. Concierges can write or call on your behalf, or simply give you the address portraitdubai.ae. We plan the details with the hotel and keep the concierge informed.

When do we receive the photos?

Within 2 days after the shoot, as a fully edited gallery in a private online gallery you can share.
