Family session · Las Vegas

In short

Family session in Las Vegas starts at $375: 75 min on location with a photographer who works in Las Vegas, and 40 edited photos delivered to a private gallery within 5 business days.

Why choose Family session in Las Vegas?

A family session in Las Vegas is a 75-minute shoot with posed group frames, candid coverage and an individual portrait of each child, delivering 40 retouched photographs, priced from $375. Families who live here rarely want the Strip in their pictures, and the locals’ answer is water and green rather than neon: the ponds and cottonwoods along the Las Vegas Wash on the east side of the valley. Those places sit on Clark County parkland with paperwork of its own, and the paperwork takes longer than a family usually expects.

Worth knowing about Las Vegas

Clark County Wetlands Park requires any photographer charging a client for a shoot in the park to hold a Clark County film permit, and the photographer must also request separate permission from Clark County Parks and Recreation and Wetlands Park management at least two weeks before the session. The park does not authorize weddings or private parties at present, so a family session there stays a photo session rather than a gathering.

FAQ — Family session in Las Vegas

Can we have family photos taken at Clark County Wetlands Park in Las Vegas?

Yes, once the paperwork is done. A paid photographer at Clark County Wetlands Park needs a Clark County film permit plus separate approval from Clark County Parks and Recreation and Wetlands Park management, requested at least two weeks before the family session. Wetlands Park does not currently authorize weddings or private parties.

What time of year suits a Las Vegas family photo session with young children?

October through April, when a 75-minute outdoor family session in Las Vegas is comfortable for small children in the late afternoon. From June through September a Las Vegas family session is moved to the first hour after sunrise, or indoors at home, because open ground in the afternoon is too hot for toddlers and babies.
