Hong Kong Family Holiday Photos for Visiting Families

One of the world's great cities. Photograph it with your family.

Sessions from 45 minutes. Hong Kong's best locations. Any family size.

Hong Kong has a legendary skyline, world-class beaches a few minutes' drive from some of the densest urban neighbourhoods on the planet, and a huge range of incredibly verdant parks dotted with pagodas, ponds and quiet corners you'd never expect. For years I've been contacted by families who want to record their trip with professional holiday photos in Hong Kong. And who wouldn't?

Singaporean families in particular love Hong Kong family holiday photoshoots

But I work with visiting families from Los Angeles, Sydney, Toronto, London, NYC and everywhere in between. Whether you're returning to a city you grew up in, bringing the kids for the first time, or just want something better than iPhone snaps to remember the trip by, a holiday photo session is the best souvenir Hong Kong has to offer.

Even I feel it. I'm a Liverpool-born Canadian who first came here on a documentary shoot sponsored by the Canadian government in 1999. All these years later I'm still here with a camera. Hong Kong does that to people.

The 45-Minute Demi Session

Not everyone has half a day. My most popular option for visitors is the 45-Minute Demi Session — we pick one great Hong Kong location, shoot for under an hour, and your trip is preserved forever. It's relaxed, it moves fast, and the results are anything but rushed.

A recent example: a family visiting from Singapore. We ended up in Kowloon Park, ten minutes from Central on the MTR, huge, and almost empty on weekdays. Perfect light, great backdrops, done before anyone got tired. My rates start at HKD3950 for all inclusive photography packages.

Hung Hom to Pok Fu Lam: A Family Photo Shoot Documenting History

If you have more time, a multi-location session lets us build a proper story of your trip. Last year I photographed a Canadian family who wanted to document the neighbourhoods where they'd grown up before emigrating in the 1990s: Whampoa Garden in Hung Hom and Chi Fu Fa Yuen in Pok Fu Lam. Two completely different sides of Hong Kong: dense old-school Kowloon versus the open, bright hillside of the island. Three hours, three generations, one year-old who had the time of her life one day after her first birthday.
