Prague Family Photo Shoot: A Summer Trip with the Whole Family

Summer family photos, everyone turning around and smiling in front of Charles Bridge (Karlův most)

Hi, I’m author S.
First, I’d like to show you some family photos I took the previous summer. There are so many photos I’d like to share, but family shoots have made up a large part of my recent work, so it seemed right to start with these 😀

The family bought me a coffee before the shoot, so things got off to a lovely start. Everyone was so energetic and lively 😀
I suppose you could call it a travel group for the older members of an extended family? They each had their roles, including someone looking after the group finances, and were making the most of a carefully planned trip.
It was a 2-hour shoot, and with so many people, including older members of the family.. I kept the route as short as possible and focused on landmark backgrounds, so everyone, from older and younger sisters to children, grandchildren, sons-in-law and daughters-in-law, would have photos that really said they’d been to Prague.

There are individual portraits and photos of the married couples on their own, too. There were so many photos that I left some out of this post.
I showed them the easiest poses I could, and was surprised at how well they followed along 😀

I took a group photo with the western side of Charles Bridge (Karlův most) in the background. Looking at the result.. the sky to the east of the bridge was prettier.. so everyone turned around and I took another photo.

This is the view to the east of Charles Bridge (Karlův most). Everyone looks so happy that looking at them makes me feel happy too 😀

I also take photos of them with St. Nicholas Church (Kostel sv. Mikuláše) in the background.
It is one of Prague’s main landmarks, after all. I photographed everyone here, but today the challenge was deciding how many photos to leave out rather than which ones to post, so I cut quite a lot.

At Cihelna, I took photos of them with Charles Bridge (Karlův most) in the background too.
When I used to photograph younger people here, I would have them climb onto that ledge for photos. Some people are afraid of heights, so I would ask before having them climb up.

So if they were uncomfortable climbing up, I would photograph them down below like this.
When training photographers.. “No matter how beautiful the photos might be at a spot, if it looks unsafe, just skip it. Dealing with the aftermath of an accident is far more trouble. Safety first, OK?”
That’s pretty much how I put it 😀

Now these are photos that say.. ‘We’ve been to Prague!’

By this point, we had walked around 800 meters along the route.. Some members of the group were a little tired, so they asked me to finish a little early. I wondered how to wrap things up and decided to take the final photos with St. Vitus Cathedral (Katedrála sv. Víta) in the background.

One last photo of everyone together!
It was lovely to look through these photos again. Seeing them enjoying their trip made me feel like taking a trip myself.
I wish everyone good health and a happy New Year!

Thank you for reading to the end.

I’m not currently offering photo shoots or taking bookings in Prague. If I resume them, I’ll post a separate announcement. If I resume shoots in Prague, you can expect to pay around 250,000 KRW for 1 hour in the daytime, or around 400,000 KRW for a 3-hour day-and-night shoot comprising 2 hours in the daytime and 1 hour at night. A 3-hour shoot would include 30 edited photos and 450 original photos.
