frequently asked questions
Do you offer family photography near me in Bournemouth?
Yes. DK Capture is a professional family photography studio based in Northbourne, Bournemouth. I regularly photograph families from Bournemouth, Poole, Christchurch, Wimborne, Ferndown, Ringwood, Dorset, and the surrounding areas.
How much does a family photoshoot cost in Bournemouth?
Family photography sessions at DK Capture start from affordable packages designed to suit couples, small families, and larger family groups. Pricing varies depending on the session type, number of people attending, and whether you choose digital images, prints, or wall art. Full pricing can be viewed on my website before booking.
Can grandparents and extended family join the session?
Absolutely. Family portrait sessions can include grandparents, siblings, cousins, and multiple generations even the dogs! These sessions are a wonderful way to capture family memories and create photographs that will be treasured for years.
What should we wear for our family photoshoot?
Choose clothing that makes you feel comfortable and confident. Coordinating colours usually work better than everyone wearing exactly the same outfit. Neutral tones, soft colours, and avoiding large logos or busy patterns help keep the focus on your family rather than your clothing.
How long does a family photography session take?
Most family portrait sessions last around 45 to 60 minutes, depending on the number of family members involved. We work at a relaxed pace to ensure everyone feels comfortable, especially younger children.
Where does the photoshoot take place?
Family photography sessions can take place in my Bournemouth studio. The studio is ideal for timeless portraits, with a more relaxed feel.

What if my children won't sit still?
Don't worry, it's completely normal. As an experienced family photographer, I know how to keep sessions relaxed, fun, and engaging...I tend to let them run around and let of some steam first!...normally capture great images during that time!
How many photos will we receive?
Rather than shooting to a set number of images, I focus on creating the best possible photographs during your session. Every shoot is different, so the number of images will vary depending on the people involved, the type of session, and how much variety we capture.
As a guide, most clients can expect to view around 50–70 carefully edited images in their online gallery, giving you plenty of choice when selecting your favourites. My priority is always quality over quantity, ensuring every image is one I'd be happy to put my name to.
When will we receive our photos?
Most clients receive access to their online viewing gallery within a week of their session. Once you've selected your images, digital files are downloaded immediately and products are prepared as quickly as possible.
How do I book a family photography session?
Booking is simple. You can book online through my website, send an enquiry through the contact form or WhatsApp or be old school and give me a call. Once your session is confirmed, you'll receive all the information you need to prepare for your photoshoot.
Why should we choose DK Capture for our family portraits?
At DK Capture, I focus on creating a relaxed, enjoyable experience that produces natural and genuine family photographs. The Bournemouth studio is designed to be welcoming and stress-free, ensuring every family feels comfortable in front of the camera. I work with families of all sizes and ages to create beautiful portraits that you'll be proud to display in your home.
