That’s why we’ve rounded up some of Hong Kong’s family photographers who can help you capture everything from your unforgettable pregnancy glow to your darling newborn’s first days to the proud moment when your now-grown baby graduates.

Say, “cheese!”

Editor’s Note: The situation in Hong Kong due to the coronavirus is constantly evolving. Please make sure you follow the latest government advice on social distancing and stay home if you have recently travelled overseas, have interacted with anyone who has been away, or display any symptoms. Your family’s health is the top priority, so check the studio’s shooting procedures and safety policies beforehand.

Little Stories – the Moment by Amy

People say a picture is a poem without words. A photoshoot with Little Stories will create an ode to your family, with all its precious and warm moments. Founder Amy and her team offer both lifestyle and fine art photography for any milestone occasion, from maternity to newborn, child and family photography. Having learned her photography skills from masters in the US, Amy has been an ambassador for the National Association of Professional Child Photographers (NAPCP) for over three years. Her photography studio Little Stories is well-recognised, both here in Hong Kong and in the US, promoting honest and candid imagery for families to look back in time.

You are advised to book a photo session 2 to 3 months in advance and you can be assured of an amazing family experience — it’s more than just taking pictures! Having studied Education and Journalism at the University of Hong Kong, Amy will be glad to share her picture storytelling tips and family education advice with you!

Nestology Studio

Nestology Studio is a full-service family photography studio that Sassy Mama readers love (runner-up for Best Family Photographer, Readers Choice Awards 2019). The “nest” in the name indicates that the photography experience mirrors a family’s feelings while at home – happy, intimate and comfortable. Naturally, the photographs are authentic and have a unique, natural charm.

Keeping with the nest analogy, the studio has lovingly named its packages after birds, from canary (for small families) to stork (quite obviously, maternity shoots) and more. If you’re planning a bump shoot, book a special maternity and couple session between Friday, 3 and Sunday, 5 September 2021. Priced at $2,990, this 60-minute studio session includes 30 minutes of express makeup, a 30-minute shoot, styling by Maison M Floral and 20 edited high-resolution digital images.

There’s more! Use the code SASSYMAMA10 to get a 10% discount on individual packages (excluding Stork and Hummingbird combo packages) until Friday, 15 October 2021.

Light and Shadow

The last 20 months have proved more than ever that life is constantly changing. Unique and special moments are often fleeting and that’s why Light and Shadow promises to capture these for posterity. This family-run photography business specialises in portrait photography for individuals, couples and families.

Light and Shadow services all parts of Hong Kong, including the outlying islands.

Jill Carter Photography

Living in an amazing city like Hong Kong definitely has its advantages – awesome backdrops for photoshoots is one! With over 17 years experience photographing families, bumps and babies, the award-winning American portrait photographer Jill Carter can definitely put you at ease in front of the camera. She knows exactly where to head for the best photos, as her “Scenes from Hong Kong” shoots demonstrate (check out the gallery on her Facebook page). With a variety of packages to choose from, you’ll find the perfect fit for your budget and requirements, starting with the affordable Business Portrait shoot. Though, if you’re looking for a unique, memorable and fun family portrait shoot to mark a special occasion, the iconic Hong Kong multi-location shoot is a must-do.

Family Photography: How To Choose Your Photographer Or Studio

Hong Kong has no dearth of talented photographers. While some specialise in a particular type of photography, most of them offer a wide range of services and you can count on them to deliver the shots no matter what the occasion. How can you pick the photographer who’s most suited for your family?

Take a look at their portfolio or gallery to find the aesthetic that you like the most.
Consider whether you want to have the photographer come to your home, shoot outdoors at a favourite family spot or whether you would prefer to visit their studio instead. This depends on how large the family is, the occasion (especially for events) and the space available for the shoot!
Check availability (many photographers are taking limited bookings at this time) and photo package prices (don’t miss the exclusive Sassy Mama perks mentioned above!).
