How much for a family photoshoot in 2025? | Cheltenham Family photographer
This is a question I get a lot and unfortunately there is no one answer to this.
There are different types of photo sessions and they can have different prices. Also depending on the photographer, their experience, editing style, gear, or sadly but also their self worth, the prices may vary.
You can find a beginner photographer with a cheap camera and one lens, who charges as little as £30 (that was my first price for a family photoshoot back in 2019) or a professional photographer with years of experience, expensive studio equipment, multiple cameras and lenses, editing software, insurance, website, professional subscriptions, props, dresses etc, who charges £600+ for their services.

What if I can’t Afford a Professional Photoshoot for my family?
Having a family photoshoot is a luxury itself and it is perfectly understandable that not everyone can afford it. For me, as a single mum of twins, who never had a massive budget to spend on the “non essentials”, it wasn’t easy to book a photoshoot. But I always valued having professional photos taken, therefore I would either save money for a couple of months or pay for the photoshoot and the wall art in a few instalments. I remember paying off £700 in 6 months just for one big framed photograph of my family (before I got divorced) but now, 20 years later, that photograph hangs proudly in my living room reminding me of how tiny my daughters were and how much we love them.
Having a family photoshoot, especially in the first few years, when your children are small, it’s an unforgettable experience and the beautiful photographs and wall art are an investment and will stay with you and your children for years to come. Many photographer in Cheltenham, Gloucester and the surrounding areas, offer payment plans to help you pay for this luxury experience so you and your family can cherish the photos forever!
