Family Photographer in Paris - Packages & Prices

Paris with your family is a trip you'll talk about for years and the photos are what you'll keep. I'm Phil, an English-speaking family photographer based in Paris and photographing families here since 2014.

 

My sessions are relaxed and playful. Kids don't have to sit still or smile on command: we walk, run, play and explore and I capture the real moments in between: the giggles, the piggyback rides, the hugs at the foot of the Eiffel Tower. Parents, grandparents, babies and teenagers are all welcome.

The packages are valid for up to 6 people and I charge 20€ per extra person. For example for 10 people if you chose the Prestige Package, that will be 550€ + 4x20 = 630€

 

The suggested itineraries are just an example of what is doable and we could of course chose some other locations depending on your wishes.

 

If you feel like you will need more time or you wish something really personalized, just send me an email with detailed information and we'll prepare together a package tailored to your needs.

 

If you need I could also provide you with contact info of make up artists and hair dressers I'm working with.

In order to secure the date I will ask you a 30% deposit. The balance shall be paid on the shooting day. 

 

If you need more images than included in the package, you can purchase additional photos at € 7,00 each.

What to Expect From Your Family Photoshoot

Before your trip: we chat by email or WhatsApp about your family, the number of participants, the ages of your children and the kind of photos you'd love. I suggest the best locations and time of day for your dates, so that everyone (including the little ones) is at their best.

 

On the day: we meet at our first location and simply have fun together. I guide you gently, suggest games and movements for the kids and give everyone time to warm up. Shy children usually forget the camera within ten minutes.

 

After: The next day, I send you a sneak peek so you can share a few favorites while you're still in Paris. Within a couple of days, you receive the full set in low resolution to choose your favorites. Your final high-resolution edited gallery is delivered within two weeks of your selection.

What Families Say

From toddlers to grandparents, families of all kinds trust me with their Paris memories. Here's what some of them have shared:

 

"We had such a wonderful experience working with Phil! From the very beginning, he made the entire process so easy, even with us coordinating from the US while he was in Paris. Communication was always seamless, and he went above and beyond to help us coordinate outfits and make sure everything came together. One thing we especially appreciated was his ability to capture beautiful photos of our kids, even with toddlers who don't always make it easy! I spent quite a bit of time researching and comparing photographers, and what drew me to Phil was his unique style. His photos have a different feel to them — artistic, natural, and truly special. We absolutely love how our photos turned out!"
— Rani S.

 

 

"Phil is honestly a magician. This was our first trip to Paris with kids and I knew from previous recs that he was good. I just wasn't expecting him to be THAT good. Our family (kids 7 and 10 years old) had just gotten in the night before so we were incredibly jet lagged. […] Yet the photos he captured were so exquisite that nobody could tell anyone was at all jet lagged! […] It is literally impossible to pick the best one. Thank you for being so flexible with our cranky kids. You are seriously a master of photography!"
— Nahyoung L.

 

 

"Whether you live in Paris or are just visiting, Phil is an absolute must! We had the best experience with him during our family photoshoot in Paris. He made the entire experience fun, relaxed, and effortless, and the photos turned out absolutely beautiful! We captured some incredible memories at the Bir-Hakeim Bridge with the Eiffel Tower in the background. If you're looking for a Paris photographer who is talented, personable, and knows all the perfect spots, Phil is your guy. I couldn't recommend him more!"
— Sandra D.

 

 

"We were so happy to have Phil do photographs of my family and I. He has a great eye for photography and was so easy to work with. He picked some great locations as a backdrop. This will be a wonderful keepsake for me and my kids. Totally worth doing."
— Ken H.

 

 

"Phil is an amazing Paris photographer. We took family pictures by the Eiffel Tower and he was so patient with my littles, who just wanted to play in the nearby sprinklers. Phil captured our trip perfectly. I'm so happy we have these memories. Phil is easy to communicate with and quick to respond. […] I would definitely work with him again."
— Patricia D.

 

 

"Phil was AMAZING! He took excellent photos of my family of four at the Eiffel Tower summer 2026. He was easy to work with, very nice and totally understood what we were going for… he is an exceptional artist. Book him!"
— Abby R.

Family Photoshoot FAQ

What ages do you photograph?
 
All of them, from babies to grandparents. Packages include up to 6 people and each extra person is €20, so multi-generation families are very welcome.
What if my kids are shy or tired?
 
That's completely normal. I never force poses: we play, walk and take breaks when needed. Some of the best photos happen when children stop thinking about the camera.
What time of day is best for a family photoshoot?
 
Early morning, when the light is soft and the famous spots are less crowded. If your little ones aren't early risers, we'll find a time that fits their routine.
What should we wear?
 
Coordinated colors work best (not identical outfits), without big logos. Comfortable shoes for the kids make the session much easier. A few more tips here.
Do you speak English?
 
Yes. I speak English, French and Russian and I reply to every message within 24 hours.
