FAMILY SESSION

WHAT IS THIS SESSION ABOUT

Our family sessions are about connection — the way your child curls into you, the warmth of your touch, the laughter between you. It’s not about posing or perfect smiles. It’s about presence. I gently guide you during the shoot, but most of the time you’ll just be together: walking, hugging, playing, comforting. 

 

WHERE SESSION TAKE PLACE

The session can take place at your home or outdoors in a calm, natural setting.

For families with young children, I recommend choosing a quiet, low-traffic location — a park, forest path, or a peaceful beach.

We usually shoot early in the morning (before 9 AM) or during golden hour, when the light is soft and the mood is unhurried.

FAQ

How long does a family photography session last?

A typical family photography session lasts about 1-2 hours. 

This gives enough time for you to settle in, connect with each other, and simply enjoy the moment — without rushing or  posing.

 

How do we prepare for the session? What should we wear?

Wear clothes that make you feel comfortable and confident. Coordinated outfits with complementary colors often look great. Avoid overly busy patterns or logos.

I will send you detailed guide after booking.

 

Where will the session take place?

At your home or outdoors — whichever feels more natural for your family. 

For sessions with young children, I recommend choosing calm and quiet locations, away from crowds and distractions.

Outdoors usually shoot early in the morning (before 8:00 AM) or during golden hour near sunset — when the light is soft and the atmosphere is peaceful.

How do we prepare our children for the session?

Make sure your children are well-rested and fed before the session. Bring their favorite toys, snacks, and comfort items. We will take breaks as needed to keep them happy and relaxed. 

Will you direct us during the session?

I won’t ask you to pose. Instead, I’ll gently guide you through moments — walking, playing, holding hands — so the emotion comes through naturally.

Do you work only in Istanbul?

Yes — most of my sessions are in Istanbul, but I’m happy to travel to nearby areas like Şile or the islands or even other city.  A travel fee may apply.
