Whenever there is an important or special occasion, we always want to take a family photo to commemorate the moment. Family portraits record the beautiful memories of you and your family at different stages of life, so how much does it cost to take family photos? What should you pay attention to when taking photos with pets or children? Capture.HK will introduce 10 family portrait studios and answer some common questions to help you prepare for your shoot!

A "family photos / portrait" is a group photo of a family that captures the warmth of the moment when the family is gathered together, and it represents a happy and complete reunion. In the future, you can review the family portrait photos with your family and children, and even if time passes, it can still evoke beautiful memories.

On special occasions in life, such as pregnancy, newborn babies, birthdays, graduations, hundredth-day banquets, and birthday celebrations, we always want to take a family portrait to commemorate the important moment. Taking family photos allows the family to gather together and leave behind beautiful memories, and it is also a form of family activity!

Family portraits can be divided into indoor and outdoor types: Indoor family portraits are more common, and they are generally taken at a portrait studio. The studio has a variety of scenes and props to choose from, so you can take photos in different styles according to your preferences. You can choose a pure white and warm atmosphere, or a fun and humorous style! As for outdoor family portraits, some photography companies provide their own outdoor scenes, such as private gardens or Korean-style scenes.

In addition to general family portraits, there are also family portrait packages for different subjects, such as newborn baby photography, pet photography, etc.

The pricing for family photoshoots is generally calculated based on the number of people, as the photographer has to take into account the expressions and movements of multiple family members, so the fee is usually over HK$1,000. If the number of people exceeds the specified package, a per-person fee of a few hundred dollars may be charged. For example, for a package of 2 hours with unlimited number of people, the fee is around HK$3,000 to HK$6,000.

In addition to additional fees for exceeding the specified number of people, there may also be additional fees for public holiday shoots. Moreover, bringing newborn babies or pets, makeup, hairstyle design, exceeding the specified number or size of photos, photo albums or frames, and exceeding the specified shooting time, all have the potential for additional fees, so be sure to understand before ordering!

Some parents may want to take "Fresh 48" photos, which is capturing the precious moment of the baby's birth in the hospital through photos and videos during the first 48 hours of their life. The shooting style is mainly focused on recording, with a more plain and soft approach, and parents only need to prepare their clothing, preferably in light colours and the same colour scheme. If the mother wishes to put on makeup, she can apply simple makeup or lipstick.

What should parents do if they want to take pictures with slightly older children but they keep yelling or moving around? Parents can prepare some toys, songs, and snacks that the child likes before the shoot. Many photographers also take pictures in a way that involves playing games, making the child more patient and smile more naturally and happily!

Pets are an important part of the family, so how can family photos be taken without them? However, they can easily be shy or scared in unfamiliar environments. Therefore, it is recommended to take photos of pets at home to make them feel more comfortable.

Before the shoot, you can prepare pet snacks that they like, making it easier to attract their attention towards the camera. If they are shy or active, you can wait until everyone is seated and hold them up for a short period of time before taking the photo.

1. Do you need to put on makeup for family photos?

Everyone wants to capture their most beautiful side with their family, so makeup is usually chosen. You can choose to apply your own makeup or use makeup services. Generally, family photo packages on the market do not include makeup services. Some packages may provide hair products for guests to use or include makeup services for one or two family members. Before ordering a photography package, it is recommended to first understand the additional charges and details for makeup services.

2. Does the photography package include post-production processing?

It depends on the photography package. Some photography companies will provide a designated number of post-production processing. The scope of retouching also varies among different companies. Some only provide simple retouching such as removing acne scars or adjusting brightness, but do not offer face slimming or adjusting facial or body features. Therefore, it is important to understand and reach a consensus before ordering a package.
