Family photoshoots in Phuket

▸ 02

With babies and small children

Shooting where you’re staying keeps the cot, the snacks and a change of clothes close by. Pick a start that fits around naps, and tell us the children’s ages and nap times in the notes when you book.

Stop for a feed, a cuddle or a snack whenever you need to: your photographer waits and carries on. The session still ends at the time you booked.

If bedtime comes before sunset, a morning works just as well: the first start of the day is 06:00, and the time of day never changes the price.

▸ 03

Grandparents, cousins and big families

On the booking page pick “Family”, then say how many of you are coming. For 20 or more, we recommend a second photographer, so everyone gets photographed, not only the group shot. For 40 or more, we recommend three photographers, so everyone gets photographed in the golden light.

A session’s edited photos are shared by everyone in it, and another photographer adds more, from ฿5,900. We recommend one for big families, never insist: add them as you book, up to 2 more, and not for a shoot today.

Tell us in the notes who should be photographed together (the grandparents with the grandchildren, each family on its own), and your photographer works through the list.

▸ 04

A holiday, a birthday or an anniversary

• A family holiday: “Family”, then “Family holiday”.
• A child’s or a grandparent’s birthday: “Birthday”, and whose it is in the notes.
• An anniversary with the children there: “Anniversary”.
• Expecting another baby: “Babymoon / maternity”.

Anything else, a reunion or a farewell: “Something else”, and tell us the plan in the notes. Book as “Family”

▸ 05

Your hotel or villa, then the beach

• Your hotel or villa: we meet you at your room or in the lobby, as you choose when you book. For a beach nearby too, say so in your notes when you book: 3 hours or more gives you time for both. Start at your hotel or villa, then finish at a beach close by. Getting there comes out of your time, so it suits places a short walk or drive from the beach.
• A place you choose: a beach, a park or a viewpoint anywhere on Phuket, and we meet you there.
• Phuket Old Town: a shoot of its own, 90–120 minutes by car from the west-coast beaches, so weigh the drive with small children.

Some hotels and resorts keep outside photographers out, or to certain spots, so check with yours before you book. If it says no, tell us and we’ll suggest somewhere close.

▸ 06

Your children’s photos

We only ever publish a child’s photo with a parent’s or guardian’s agreement, asked for separately. If you’d rather none of your photos are ever shown, tick “Please keep our photos private” when you book. Otherwise we may show photos from your session, up to a whole album, on this website, on Instagram and in ads, and you can change your mind at any time.

The photos on this page come from one family’s session at their villa near Bang Tao, shown with their agreement, children and all. See their whole album

▸ 07

Hair and makeup before the photos

Our makeup artists come to your hotel or villa and do your hair and makeup before your photos: a photoshoot look, not bridal. For one person it’s ฿5,900; when more of the family have it, ฿3,900 each, for up to 4 people. About an hour per person, one after another, finishing as your photographer arrives.

It’s offered only on a short session that starts at your hotel or villa, when an artist is free at your time. Add it as you book, though not for a session today, or later from your booking page until 24 hours before we meet you.

▸ 08

The golden hour

The booking page shows each date’s sunset. For warm, low light on the faces, start so the session finishes at 18:30 or 19:00; across the year, those starts are:

• The 2-Hour Session: 16:30 or 17:00, depending on the month
• The 3-Hour Session: 15:30 or 16:00, depending on the month
• The 4-Hour Session: 14:30 or 15:00, depending on the month

Sessions finish by 21:00 at the latest. Book at least 6 hours ahead, or 2 days for a half or full day; a session today carries a ฿2,500 same-day fee.

▸ 09

Your gallery, and if plans change

• We introduce your photographer on WhatsApp an hour before we meet you, with their own number.
• Your family’s gallery arrives 3–5 days after a short session and 5–7 days after a full day, each photo edited by hand in our own colour, full size to download and print. It stays online for good, so you can share it with family back home.
• Want it faster? Add “same-day delivery” (฿1,500) to sessions of 3 hours or less, or “next-day delivery” (฿1,500) from 4 hours.
• Your shoot goes ahead whatever the weather: it’s out of our control, so checking the forecast is up to you, and rain doesn’t change what we refund. With the weather guarantee, if rain threatens your shoot you can change its date or time, free: once, any time up to 2 hours before we meet you. It costs ฿350.

Cancel 72 hours or more ahead for 90% back, 24 hours or more for 50%. A shoot that has been moved can’t be refunded. A child unwell on the day? Message us as early as you can and we’ll do what we can, though what we refund stays as above. Cancelling and the weather, in full
