Finding the perfect family photographer can feel overwhelming. You want someone who will capture your family’s unique personality while making the process easy and fun! With so many options, how do you choose the right fit? Here’s a simple guide to help you find a Minneapolis family photographer who will create beautiful, natural images while ensuring a stress-free experience!
Every family photographer has a unique style, so think about what kind of photos you love. Do you prefer:
Some photographers specialize in posed portraits, while others focus on candid family photography—documenting the little moments, like laughter, hugs, and playful gestures. Some have a great mixture of both! Check their portfolio to make sure their aesthetic matches your vision!

Family photography is more than just taking pictures—it’s about creating an enjoyable experience for everyone! If you have toddlers or shy kids, look for a photographer who knows how to engage them in a fun, natural way.




A strong portfolio gives you insight into a photographer’s skills, consistency and style. As you browse, ask yourself:
If a photographer can consistently capture genuine, joy-filled moments, they’re likely a great fit!
One of the best ways to gauge a photographer’s reliability and talent is by reading reviews. Google is a great source for this! Do a quick Google search to see if the photographer has reviews online and see if they match the needs of your family.



Some photographers go the extra mile to make family sessions enjoyable. Look for someone who provides:
Not all photographers offer the same packages. Before booking, ask about:
Some photographers are all-inclusive and charge a higher up-front fee, while others charge a smaller session fee up front and offer Collections for purchase after you see your images. Both are great options, just make sure you know up front what the pricing structure is and determine which one is best for you!
Trust your gut! When browsing through a photographer’s website you probably have a feeling right away if you can envision your family in that style of photo. Do you feel like you could connect with the photographer on a personal level? If so, go with your gut!
Choosing a photographer for your family photos is about more than just beautiful photos—it’s about finding someone who makes the experience fun, relaxed, and true to your family. Take your time researching, trust your instincts, and when you find the right fit, you’ll end up with stunning images and priceless memories.
