Family Photography in Bangkok | Lukfoto

Why Families Choose Lukfoto

Most photographers in Bangkok work primarily with models. We specialize in families with real dynamics—toddlers who won’t sit still, teenagers who feel awkward, and elders who need extra time between poses. We’ve photographed hundreds of international families and understand how to capture genuine emotions rather than forced smiles.

Our years of experience mean we can read situations quickly. We know when to direct and when to step back. Because we’ve shot at Bangkok’s parks and streets so many times, we know exactly where the best spots are for lighting, clean backgrounds, and avoiding crowds.

Where We Take Your Family Photos

Bangkok has incredible locations for family photography. We’ve been shooting at these spots for years, so we know exactly where the best angles are.

Popular options include Lumphini Park with its green spaces and lakeside views. The dog park in Benjakitti Forest Park works wonderfully if you want to include your furry family member. For something more artistic, Talat Noi offers colorful streets and unique urban backgrounds.

Temple settings like Wat Pho and Wat Benchamabophit provide elegant, traditional Thai backdrops. The Ancient City is another option for those wanting grand architecture and historical atmosphere.

Natural light makes all the difference in your pictures. That’s why we prefer outdoor locations over dim hotel lobbies. The soft afternoon sun creates warm, flattering images that look authentic. If weather doesn’t cooperate or you prefer an indoor option, we can also arrange studio sessions.

When to Schedule Your Session

We typically suggest booking between 3pm and 5pm when the light is at its best—not too harsh, not too dim. Days in Thailand are shorter than you might expect, getting dark around 5pm or 6pm depending on the season.

The best months are November through March when temperatures are more comfortable. If you’re booking during other months, bring a small towel to wipe sweat and plenty of water for the kids.

What to Wear for Your Session

Choose clothing that feels comfortable and looks good together. Coordinating colors work much better than matching outfits.

Here are some practical tips:

• Avoid busy patterns that distract from faces. Solid colors photograph better.
• Think about the location. Lighter colors work well in green parks, darker tones against urban backgrounds.
• Dress children first, then have adults coordinate. Kids are pickier about what they’ll wear.
• Comfortable shoes matter. You’ll be walking and moving around.

Preparing for Your Session

Make sure everyone is well-rested and fed before the shoot. Hungry, tired kids won’t enjoy the experience, and that shows in the photos.

For families with a newborn or infant, one hour outdoors is usually enough. We can capture plenty of variety without overwhelming your baby. Bring snacks and drinks, especially if you have young ones.

What Combinations Can We Photograph?

Your session is completely flexible. Common options include:

1. Big family photoshoot with everyone together
2. Mother and daughter or father and son portraits
3. Grandparents with grandchildren for generational connections
4. Group shots with siblings or extended family
5. Individual portraits of each person
6. Dog and family pictures for your four-legged member

We also create custom arrangements for friends reunion gatherings, parents alone, or any other combination you want. Just let us know what matters to you.

Special Sessions We Love

Beyond traditional family portraits, we photograph maternity sessions for expecting parents—best scheduled during the cooler months. Wedding celebrations are another specialty, with many couples wanting candid group photos at Bangkok’s iconic locations.

We also work with families during reunions, capturing those rare moments when everyone is together in the same city.

Our Photography Style

We focus on capturing authentic moments rather than stiff poses. Yes, we’ll get those classic shots where everyone looks at the camera. But we also capture the in-between moments—children laughing, parents sharing a glance, elders holding little hands.

These candid images often become favorites because they show real connections and genuine emotions.

Making the Most of Your Time

We move at a comfortable pace with no rushing or pressure. The relaxed atmosphere helps everyone look and feel their best. After the session, you’ll receive edited pictures ready to print, share, and enjoy.

Let’s Create Your Family Memories

Bangkok offers amazing backdrops for family portraits. Combined with good timing, natural light, and photographers who understand how to work with families, you’ll get images you’ll treasure for decades.
