How does booking work?
Send a free request with your place, date and plans. Nordiora checks which professionals are available and replies with a proposal stating who will shoot, the package and the exact price. Nothing is booked until you accept.

Children change faster than anyone expects, and the parent holding the phone is usually missing from the pictures. A family photoshoot puts everyone in the frame, at an age you will want to remember, without turning the afternoon into a struggle.

The sessions we arrange are relaxed rather than posed. The photographer plays, walks and lets the children lead for a while, then gathers everyone for a few group photos when the mood is right. Most sessions happen outdoors – in a park, on a beach, in the forest or at the summer house – but at-home sessions in your own kitchen and garden work well too.

We match you with an independent photographer near you who is experienced with families and young children. You receive one proposal with the photographer’s name, the session length, the number of edited photos and the price, before you commit to anything.

How it works

  1. 1

    Send a free request

    Tell us your area, the dates that suit you, how many people and the children’s ages. The request is free and not binding.

  2. 2

    We match a family photographer

    We check which reviewed photographers near you are free and good with children of that age, and send you a personal proposal with name, session length, number of photos and price.

  3. 3

    Plan around the children

    Once you confirm, you agree the place and time directly with the photographer. Many families pick a slot after a nap or a meal, when children are at their best.

  4. 4

    The session and your gallery

    An unhurried hour with play, walks and a few group photos. Your edited photographs arrive in a private gallery within the delivery time stated in the proposal.

Where the shoot happens

Swedish families have a lot of green space close at hand, and the right of public access (allemansrätten) makes nature easy to use. In Stockholm, Hagaparken and Djurgården have open meadows, water and old trees; see family photos in Stockholm. In Göteborg, Slottsskogen has lawns and paths, and in Malmö Ribersborg beach is ideal for summer evenings. Uppsala, Lund and Helsingborg all have parks and waterfronts within easy reach. Summer houses in the archipelago or on Gotland near Visby make for natural photos of family life. Our guide to family photos in Sweden has more ideas.

Preparation tips

  • Plan the session around naps and meals; a fed, rested child is worth more than perfect light.
  • Dress everyone in soft, coordinated colours rather than identical outfits, and avoid big logos.
  • Bring snacks without colour (water and rice cakes, not berries or juice) and a favourite toy for small children.
  • Do not ask young children to smile on command; let the photographer play with them instead.
  • In summer, avoid the harsh midday sun; morning or early evening light is softer and kinder to faces.
  • For Christmas card photos, book in October or November, before the darkest weeks and the December rush.
  • At the summer house, think about one or two spots that mean something: the jetty, the porch, the old tree.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a family photoshoot cost in Sweden?

Family photoshoots through our team start from 2,990 kr for about an hour and around 40 edited photos. Larger groups, longer sessions, travel to a summer house or island, and extra locations cost more; the price is stated in your proposal. All starting prices are on the pricing page.

What if our children will not cooperate?

That is normal, and the photographers we work with expect it. They take breaks, play games and photograph what actually happens. Some of the best family photos come from the moments in between.

Can grandparents and the extended family join?

Yes. Mention the number of people in your request. Larger groups may need a little more time for the different combinations, and the proposal accounts for that.

Can the photographer come to our summer house or home?

Yes. At-home and summer-house sessions are popular. If the house is on an island or far from the photographer’s base, travel and ferry time are included in the proposal so you can see the full price.

Which season is best for family photos in Sweden?

Summer is the most popular, with long evenings and the summer house. Autumn has colour and softer light, and is a good time for Christmas cards. Winter works well with snow, but sessions are shorter with small children and the daylight is limited, especially in the north.

Do you also offer maternity and newborn-friendly sessions?

Yes. A maternity photoshoot is often booked a few months before a family session. Tell us if you have a newborn so we can match a photographer used to working calmly with babies.

Tell us what you’re planning.

One free request. We'll review it and match you with suitable local photographers, videographers or drone pilots.
