How to Choose the Best Family Photographer for Your Style
A Complete Guide for Families Who Want Timeless Photos
Choosing the right photographer for your family is more than just picking someone with a camera. It’s about finding a creative professional who understands your family style, makes you feel comfortable, and can create beautiful memories that last forever.
In this blog, we’ll guide you step-by-step on how to choose the best family photographer based on your preferences, personality, and goals.
Understand Your Personal Style and What You Want from Your Family Photoshoot
Before you search for photographers, ask yourself:
Do I like natural, candid shots or posed, traditional portraits?
Do I want an indoor or outdoor family photoshoot?
Should the photos feel modern, rustic, playful, or classic?
Understanding your family photography style helps narrow your options and find someone whose portfolio matches your vision.
Look Through the Photographer’s Portfolio to See If Their Style Matches Yours
One of the best ways to evaluate a professional family photographer is by browsing their gallery or Instagram page. Pay attention to:
Posing and composition
Lighting and editing style
Emotions captured in the photos
This will help you see if their work aligns with your preferred family photo style.
Read Client Reviews and Testimonials to Understand the Photographer’s Personality and Work Ethic
A good photographer has happy clients. Reading testimonials gives you insight into:
How comfortable they make families feel
Their punctuality and professionalism
Their ability to work with kids of all ages
Look for consistent feedback to ensure a positive photography experience.
Make Sure the Photographer is Experienced with Working with Children and Large Families
Working with kids can be unpredictable, so choose someone who is patient and experienced. The best kids and family photographers know how to:
Engage children during the session
Handle sudden tantrums or mood swings
Capture genuine smiles and moments
Ask About Packages, Pricing, and What’s Included Before You Book
Before confirming your shoot:
Check if travel, editing, and printing are included
Clarify the number of edited photos you’ll receive
Understand the turnaround time for final images
A transparent pricing structure means no surprises later.
Schedule a Call or Pre-Shoot Meeting to Build Trust and Comfort
Meeting or speaking with your photographer before the shoot builds rapport. It allows you to:
Ask questions
Share expectations
Build a connection that reflects naturally in your photos
Final Thoughts: Choosing the Best Family Photographer is About Comfort, Connection, and Creativity
At Kiyo Shotz, we believe every family deserves photos that reflect their true essence. By following these tips, you’ll be better prepared to choose the best family photographer for your style, ensuring timeless images you’ll cherish for years.

what our clients have to say
"A young, energetic and full of life couple. One of the most down to earth and sweetest people i have met. Durgesh’s ideas and editing is fantastic. Being on a shoot with this couple is something that everyone must experince. They just make u feel at home and behave like they have known us for a long time. Nithya was always available to happily answer all the queries and was open to any kind of suggestion. Its a big thumbs up for kiyo shotz and i hope and pray that durgesh grows and becomes a big name in the field of photography, for his simplicity, passion and dedication is commendable."
"There are only few people who can grab your thoughts and present it wisely! The one are Durgesh and Nithya together! I just went to them with a single theme ‘Winter’ for my Son, but they have given us the output to cherish lifetime. Such a professional, talented, skill full, look-alike and what not? Just brilliant couple. The way they handle the toddlers are ever loving and thus they are able to grab few important moments in hawk eyes! Was completely satisfied and overwhelmed with both Indoor and Outdoor Photo Shoots. It was perfect the way i would expect. Been in Cine Industry for quite sometime, i would say that they are excellent than all others I have seen till now! Little worried that i didn’t get the contact before I marry else I would have received a greater emotional memory to call it as Album rather the one I have right now. 10/10! Perfect and simply incredible. Good job people, you are rocking and wish your future endeavors! At anytime, I would only love to work with you."

"Firstly, I would like to thank the beautiful couple for clicking the best pictures of my son and our little family. As everyone knows, shooting with a 2 year old toddler is no easy but they made sure my child was comfortable with them as soon they started the shoot. In fact, when the shoot got over, my son started asking about their absence.Well, coming to the experience, it was so cool with proper outdoor props, very professional and they get creative with whatever is available as well. Overall, it would be a big thumbs up to all of them who want to get great pictures clicked. Thanks to Nithya and Durgesh for making the shoot, so feel at home for the three of us.

We went in for a maternity shoot for me and my husband and we are so glad we chose Kiyoshotz. Nithya's pleasant demeanor made us feel at ease. And the Mua and hairstylist arranged by her did such a good job as well. Right from draping my outfit, to directing my poses, to the way the photographs were taken by Durgesh... it was such an enjoyable experience. They made me feel very comfortable and always checked if I was doing okay. They made me and my husband comfortable in front of the camera with their encouraging and friendly words and simple guidance on how to pose. Thank you Kiyoshotz for helping create this memorable experience that is now a part of my pregnancy :)PS: Durgesh's nostalgic playlist in the background made it all the more enjoyable!
We had a good experience with Kiyoshotz who made our day very special. I personally recommend Nithya and team as they are very friendly, passionate, calm and doing things neatly. I appreciate the patience and skill. That was our first photoshoot experience but never looked like one as we were very much comfortable.
Kiyoshotz made our day very special. We chose kiyoshotz for our maternity shoot and it was a wonderful experience. Nithya and her husband both were very professional and friendly. This was my first photo shoot experience but they made as very comfortable during the shoot. The pictures were very classic. We really enjoyed the day. Thank you...
