Quick answers
- What does it cost?
- Family Photoshoot starts from DKK 2,900. The final price depends on the place, duration, date, hour, travel (including ferries) and add-ons such as video, and is in your proposal before you book.
- How long does it take?
- A typical session lasts 1 hour, and you receive around 40 edited photos.
- What is included?
- A planning exchange about ages, names, nap times and what your children enjoy
- A child-friendly place with space to move and a fallback in case of rain
- A session of about an hour, paced around the children
- A mix of play and a few group portraits for the family album
- Where does it happen?
- Popular spots include Copenhagen, Aarhus, Odense, Aalborg, and Skagen. Your photographer suggests the best one for your date, the light, the wind and the crowds.
- Who is it for?
- Families on holiday in Copenhagen, on the coast or near Legoland
- Families living in Denmark who want relaxed photos once a year
- Grandparents visiting, or several generations together
- Families with a new baby or toddlers who need a flexible, patient photographer
- How does booking work?
- Send a free request with your place, date and plans. Havlys checks which photographers are free and replies with a proposal naming the photographer, the package and the exact price. Nothing is booked until you say yes.
Family photos work best when nobody is told to smile. A good family photographer plans the hour around the children: a little running, something to look at, a game, and a few minutes of everyone close together while they still have the patience for it.
Denmark is easy for families. The cities are flat and full of parks and playgrounds, beaches are rarely more than a short ride away, and the light in summer stays soft late into the evening, which helps with older children. With toddlers, a morning session before nap time usually works better.
Common reasons to book are a summer holiday in Denmark, a visit from grandparents, a new baby or a move. If you are expecting, a maternity session can come first; if the trip is the main thing, vacation photography follows you around one place for longer.
We match you with an independent photographer reviewed for portfolio, experience with children, languages and local knowledge, and you receive a proposal with their name, package and price before anything is booked.
How it works

The session
You meet at an agreed place. The photographer starts with play, not posing, and fits the group portrait in while everyone is still fresh.
Where the session happens
In Copenhagen, families like the lawns of Kongens Have, the ramparts of Kastellet and the beach at Amager Strandpark; see family photography in Copenhagen for more. Just north of the city, Dyrehaven has wide paths, old oaks and herds of deer, and Bellevue beach is a few minutes’ walk from Klampenborg station. In Jutland, Aarhus has the harbour baths and the woods along the bay, and families visiting Billund for Legoland often book a session nearby. Beach sessions on Rømø, with its vast flat sand, start from DKK 4,000. Our guide to family photography across Denmark compares the options.

Before your session
- Book around naps and meals, not around the best light. A rested child beats golden hour.
- Danish school summer holidays run from late June to early August. Popular beaches and parks are busier then, especially at weekends.
- Coordinate colours rather than matching outfits. Soft, solid colours hide grass stains and sand better than white.
- Bring a snack and a favourite toy, but keep them in the bag until they are needed.
- On the coast, bring a spare jumper for each child. The wind off the sea can be cold even in July.
- Tell your children the photographer is a friend who will play with them, not someone they have to perform for.
Frequently asked questions
How much does a family photoshoot in Denmark cost?
A family photoshoot through our platform starts from DKK 2,900 for about an hour in a city or nearby park. On the islands and far coasts, such as Rømø, Skagen or Bornholm, the starting price is DKK 4,000. The final price depends on the photographer, date, number of people and extras and is stated in your proposal.
What age is best for children in a family shoot?
Any age works. Babies are easiest when fed and rested; toddlers need a short, playful session; children from five or so enjoy games and running. Tell us the ages so we match you with someone who has photographed children like yours.
What if my children do not cooperate?
It is normal and expected. The photographer works around it with play, breaks and patience, and some of the best photos happen during a meltdown or right after. The group portrait is fitted in when the children are ready, not forced.
Can grandparents and cousins join?
Yes. Larger groups may need more time and are quoted accordingly. Tell us how many people will be there in your request.
What happens if it rains?
Light rain can be fun with wellies and umbrellas. If the forecast is poor, the photographer will suggest another time or a covered place. The exact rescheduling terms are in your proposal.
