A Relaxed, Joyful Photography Experience

If you’ve never had a professional Family Photo Session in Zug or Zurich, you might be wondering:
How does it work? What happens on the day? Will my kids behave?

The truth is — family photography doesn’t have to feel stressful or staged. My goal is to make it easy, relaxed, and full of connection, from our first email to the moment you receive your gallery.

Here’s exactly what to expect — step by step.

Step 1: Booking Your Family Photo Session in Zug or Zurich

Once you reach out through my contact page, I’ll send a short questionnaire to get to know your family — ages of your children, preferred season, and your dream location.

We’ll then confirm your date, time, and light (golden hour is my favorite).
To secure your session, you’ll receive an online agreement and invoice. Once completed — your booking is official!

You’ll also receive my Family Styling Guide and preparation resources to help you plan every detail.

Step 2: Planning & Styling Support

Choosing outfits can feel overwhelming — but that’s where I come in. I’ll guide you through colors, textures, and tones that photograph beautifully in every season.

Start with my post What to Wear for Stunning Family Photos

A few timeless tips:

• Keep tones neutral and earthy.
• Avoid strong patterns or logos.
• Coordinate, don’t match.
• Choose comfort first — happy kids make the best photos!

If you’re not sure, you can always text me outfit photos — I love helping with the final touches.

Step 3: Choosing the Perfect Location

Your location sets the atmosphere for your story.
Whether you love the soft light of Zugersee, Zurich’s hidden forest trails, or a quiet hillside overlooking the Alps — I’ll suggest hand-picked options that fit your family’s personality.

Step 4: Session Day

When your session day arrives, take a deep breath — everything is ready.
Sessions typically last 45 minutes and flow naturally.

We’ll start slowly so everyone feels comfortable. Then, I’ll guide you with prompts and games to bring out genuine laughter and connection.

Expect a mix of movement, cuddles, and giggles — with plenty of breaks for little ones to regroup.

Step 5: After Your Session

Within 5 days, you’ll receive your full gallery, beautifully edited in my warm, natural style.From there, you can:

What Makes This Experience Different

Your photos are more than portraits — they’re pieces of your story.
My role is to make sure you feel supported, seen, and free to be yourselves.

You don’t have to worry about posing or keeping everyone still. I’ll guide you gently and capture the moments in between — the laughter, the hugs, the quiet pauses.

Because the best family photos aren’t staged — they’re felt.
