Celebrate some precious “together time” with your family
The times we spend with our children, our siblings and our parents are some of the happiest and most important of our lives. A family photoshoot will capture moments from those precious moments together.
Create lifelong family memories
Whether you opt for an informal family photography session or a more traditional session with formal groups, the photos from your family photoshoot will make a great centrepiece to your home when hung as wall art or as framed photographs. Not only will the images bring enjoyment to your family for years to come—they will become even more precious as time goes by and something to pass on to future generations of your family.

- Memories to last a lifetime A lifelong record of a precious time together

- Freeze a special moment in time with beautifully composed family portraits

- Indulge the ones you love most with a chance to dress up and be the focus of attention
Book your family portrait session with Justine at The Picture Box
I’m Justine McMillan—an award-winning portrait photorapher. I believe that every family has a unique story to tell–a story that twists and turns with the passing years and each new generation. The chapters of these stories are often fleeting. Children grow, circumstances change and people relocate—the chapters of the story are often over before we realise.
I love to photograph families together—creating timeless images that capture the special bond between siblings, parents and children. The images from a family photoshoot will showcase the love and connection shared by family members.
I hope to welcome you to my studio where you can enjoy some together time to create a collection of stunning family portraits that you and your family will treasure for a lifetime.

What happens next?
When you first book I’ll be in touch to arrange a convenient time for you all to come to the studio for your family photoshoot. If you have grown-up children or family members who live further afield then it can sometimes be challenging to find a time when everyone can get together. It is best to arrange this well in advance to make sure I have availabilty.
My family photoshoot sessions can be personalised to reflect your family’s personality and style—every family is different after all. I will discuss your reqiurements and any ideas you may have beforehand. Some families, especially those with younger members, prefer a more fun and dynamic photoshoot with toys and props. It is always great to get photos of the different generations interacting. On the other hand some families prefer traditional formal groups, or like to pose in differnet outfits.
Typically a family photoshoot will last up to an hour. You will be invited back to the studio about a week later to view the images on the big screen. This is when you have the opportunity to pick your favourites and choose what you would like to buy and how to display your images.

FAQs
How much does a family photoshoot cost?
Your family portrait sessions will cost just £25.
What to wear for a family photoshoot?
The most important thing is to wear something you feel comfortable in. However, your images will look more striking if you can coordinate your outfits to a certain extent. It’s a good idea for everyone to wear something with a common theme, either, all of you wearing tops in different shades of blue, or all of you in white or all of you in pastels. You could wear jeans on your bottom half. It’s also a good idea to bring along a change of darker, more muted tones so that we can do some shots with more subtle, subdued lighting. It’s best to stay away from patterns—especially large bold prints—as these can distract from the subject (unless it’s part of a traditional costume that you wish to incorporate). Dark nail varnish can also be distracting.
When do I need to pay?
I will take payment for the session fee over the phone when we make your appointment. Payment for photography products is required with your order at the viewing session.
How long will our family photoshoot take?
A family photoshoot session usually takes about an hour.
Can I book a weekend appointment for a family photoshoot?
I do offer some Saturday morning appointments but these get booked up very quickly. The sooner you book, the more likely you are to get the exact date you would like.
Is there anything we need to bring to our family photoshoot?
It’s a good idea to bring a snack and a drink for younger children. You could also bring a small toy as a distraction but no screens or tablets as they tend to zone out and only want to look at the screen.
Can I buy the digital images?
Yes. I offer a range of packages, some of which include high resolution digital images, as well as printed photographs and wall art.
Can I share the images on social media?
Yes—I’m sure you’ll want to show off your beautiful family photos. But I’d love it if you mention The Picture Box when you do. It helps to spread the word and is great for my business.
It sounds wonderful—what should I do next?
Easy! Just click the Book Now button and we can get started. Once I have received your order I’ll be in touch.
