Families
Seoul Family Photoshoot: A Relaxed Guide for Parents
Photos where everyone is in the frame, including the parent who usually holds the camera.
On family trips, one person usually takes all the photos and is missing from almost every one. A family photoshoot fixes that, and gives you natural moments of each family member, too.
What the family package includes
Family in Seoul is $490 USD per family for 3–5 people and includes:
- A private 90-minute session.
- Up to two walkable spots on one route.
- 55 selected, edited photos in total, mixing whole-family shots with natural moments of each member.
- 15 short vertical clips of about 5–15 seconds each.
The price is per booking, not per person. See Seoul photoshoot prices for extras.
Photographing with kids: what really helps
Plan around naps and meals. A well-fed child in the morning is worth more than perfect light.
Expect breaks. Ninety minutes gives you room for snacks, a short rest, and a child who suddenly needs to see a cat. Walking and short breaks are part of the session.
Let them move. Running ahead, holding hands, being lifted up. Movement makes natural photos and shows up well in the short clips.
Share children's ages in the booking form. It helps plan the pace and route.
Ashlee stays flexible with young children and family situations where reasonable. If a child is having a hard moment, you can pause.
Which route works best for families?
- Deoksugung & Jeong-dong: mostly flat walking along the stone-wall road, so it's easier with small children and strollers. Deoksugung guide
- Bukchon & Samcheong-dong: beautiful, but with slopes and steps. Better for families with walking-age children. Bukchon guide
- Gyeongbokgung & Gwanghwamun: wide open spaces. Lovely if the family wears hanbok. Gyeongbokgung guide
- Suwon Hwaseong Haenggung: open areas plus neighborhood streets, at no extra travel charge. Suwon guide
What should a family wear?
Pick two or three coordinating colors and let each person wear them differently. Neutrals with one soft accent color photograph well in both traditional and modern settings. Avoid large logos and character prints if you can, and bring a spare top for younger children.

What about grandparents or more than five people?
The family package covers 3–5 people. For a larger group, mention it in the booking notes and Ashlee will reply with what's possible.
