A family photo shoot with me is a laid-back experience that’s all about real interaction and time spent together rather than picture-perfect poses. The focus is on how it feels to be together as a family, not on creating something staged just for the camera.
You don’t need to worry about not knowing what to do. I’ll help you feel relaxed and be yourself, gently guiding you whenever needed. From my experience, family photo shoot with children begins to unfold naturally after just a few minutes, without any pressure or direction. Some families talk a lot, some enjoy quiet moments, some kids are full of energy while others stay close, hiding in a parent’s arms. All of it is welcome.
Children don’t need to perform for the camera. They can play, explore, change their mind halfway through, or take breaks when they need them. I follow their pace and give them space, knowing that trust and comfort are what lead to photographs that feel honest.
I photograph not only local Austrian families, but also expats who have made Vienna their home, visiting relatives, and travellers booking me as their vacation photographer. We can meet outdoors for a photo walk, in nature, at a playground, or at a place that holds special meaning for you. I also photograph families in the comfort of their homes, where everything feels slower and more personal. In-home sessions are often requested by families with newborns and young children, especially during the colder winter months.
I love spontaneity and improvisation, which makes all my photo sessions laid-back. My goal is to create a friendly space without pressure, where you can feel comfortable and be yourself. You don’t need to worry about not knowing what to do, as I will gently guide you whenever needed. I’m often approached by families with energetic children, camera-shy parents, and anyone who values unposed photographs over staged studio images.
“Eva is a truly fantastic photographer. My family has hired her 5 times in the last two years and she has delivered excellent results every time! No matter the weather, the energy/mood of our toddler, tired parents and/or sick kid, and the general chaos of family life (including our dog), she always manages to capture something special. On top of beautiful photographs, Eva herself is a lovely person that you will want to befriend and welcome into your family. She even comes prepared with a treat for our little girl to help win her over and keep her smiling. I highly recommend Eva for any of your photography needs!”
“Eva was recommended by a friend and we have done 3 sessions with her since Christmas – I feel like we are addicted to her and her wonderful photos!! Not only does she somehow make us all look great (which certainly has to do with the fact that we are always happy to be around her), but she is always super fun and sweet, esp. with our son who tends to be all over the place…We already look forward to our next session with her!!!”
“I wholeheartedly recommend Eva! My family and I have had the pleasure of taking part in two photo shoots with Eva – one outdoors and the other at our home – and we thoroughly enjoyed spending this time with her. Eva was everything one would want in a photographer. She was extremely warm and friendly and instantly put everyone at ease – a baby, a toddler and a camera-shy husband included!
Eva was both creative and enthusiastic in her approach and took her time to deliver the best results. She has a natural approach to photography and was able to capture truly perfect moments! My husband and I were delighted with the end results; Eva is a true talent who knows her art! We will treasure the photos when the kids have grown and look forward to more photo shoots with her in the future!”

Capturing the joy of a big family gathering is something truly special. In these sessions, I focus on creating a mix of beautiful group portraits and natural, heartfelt moments – ensuring that everyone is included while keeping the images relaxed and genuine. Whether it’s grandparents with their grandkids, siblings laughing together, or the whole family in one frame, I’ll guide you through different groupings while making sure the experience feels effortless and fun, not overly posed.
It’s a true joy to document a family’s journey – capturing their milestones, their love, and all the little moments that make life so special. Seeing families grow and being invited back to preserve their most cherished memories means the world to me.
Let’s meet several times throughout the year to document your unique family story.
If you book three PREMIUM packages with me within one year, you will receive the fourth photo session free as a BASIC package.
Booking a family photo shoot with me is less about creating picture-perfect images and more about capturing what feels true to your family right now. These photographs often grow in meaning over time, becoming part of your family’s story. A story you’ll love recalling more and more as your children grow older.
Let’s capture authentic moments and turn them into lasting memories! If my style resonates with you, I’d love to meet you!
