Family Photography: Top Photographers And Photo Studios In Hong Kong

Snapping that perfect family photo is no easy task. Leave capturing life’s most precious moments to the experts with a photoshoot or family portrait session with a professional photographer or photo studio. We help you make your choice by rounding up all the family photography experts in Hong Kong.

Have a birthday party planned for your little one? Or are you celebrating a personal or professional milestone? Maybe you need an annual family portrait to send cards back home. Hong Kong has an amazing pool of talented photographers. While some specialise in a particular type of photography including maternity and newborn photography, most of them offer a wide range of services and you can count on them to deliver amazing family photos no matter what the occasion. How can you pick the family photographer who’s most suited for your family?

• Take a look at the photographer’s portfolio or gallery to find the aesthetic that you like the most.
• Consider where you want your family photos to take place. You could have the photographer come to your home, shoot outdoors at a favourite family spot or prefer to visit the photo studio for more formal family portraits.
• Check availability (many photographers are taking limited bookings) and photo package prices.
