As a Dubai family photographer, I’ve had the joy of capturing families in all kinds of settings - from the golden desert dunes, to the calm alleys of Old Dubai, and the cosy comfort of their own homes. And if there’s one thing I’ve learnt along the way, it’s this: the most meaningful photos aren’t about perfect poses.

Whether you’re dreaming of a family photoshoot in Dubai, searching for a Dubai family photographer who captures the heart of your story, or planning your first session in the desert, a little gentle preparation will help you feel at ease and make the most of the desert beauty.

Whether you're looking for a Dubai family photoshoot that’s a bit different from the usual desert setting, or simply a place where everyone (from toddlers to teens) can feel at ease, Old Dubai is a gem.
