Family is not an important thing, it’s everything.
Hi there! I’m Charlotte, a photographer with a passion for capturing life’s most precious moments. After living in Dubai for six years and spending four years photographing weddings in Europe, I’m excited to be back in Dubai, focusing on family photography. There’s something so special about documenting the love, laughter, and togetherness that families share. Whether you’re a young family starting new traditions, or you want to gather the entire clan for a memorable photoshoot, a family photography session is a wonderful way to celebrate your unique bond and create memories that will last a lifetime.
In Dubai, we offer something truly unique that goes beyond just capturing beautiful photos. At Shots by Charlotte, we understand that many families have loved ones living far away, and we want to help you stay connected. That’s why we offer a special service of creating stunning, small family photo albums that can be sent to both sides of the family back home. Imagine the joy on grandparents’ faces as they flip through a beautifully crafted album featuring their children and grandchildren, even if they’re thousands of miles away. It’s a heartfelt keepsake that helps bridge the distance and makes everyone feel a little closer.
Dubai’s diverse scenery, from the majestic desert dunes to lush parks and iconic cityscapes, provides the perfect backdrop for family photos that reflect your style and personality. At Shots by Charlotte, we’re dedicated to capturing the essence of your family and turning it into a collection of images that you’ll treasure forever. Let us help you create not just photos, but heirloom memories to share with your loved ones, near and far.
Family is about love, laughter, and shared moments, and what better way to celebrate these bonds than with a family photoshoot? A family photoshoot is about capturing your family’s joy, connection, and unique story. With its breathtaking landscapes and urban charm, Dubai offers endless opportunities for creating extraordinary family portraits. From fun-filled beachside shoots with kids playing in the sand to cozy moments around a desert campfire roasting marshmallows, we can design a photoshoot experience that reflects your family’s personality and style.
At Shots by Charlotte, we believe that family photography should be relaxed, enjoyable, and natural. We aim to capture those genuine smiles and the playful interactions that make your family one-of-a-kind. Whether your ideal shoot is a sunset picnic by the sea, the kids running through the dunes, or a stylish urban session downtown, we’ll help you choose the perfect setting that brings out the best in everyone.

A family photoshoot captures the love and connection shared between family members. Whether it’s a warm embrace, shared laughter, or a playful moment, these images document the essence of family life. With children growing up so quickly, capturing these memories allows you to freeze time and cherish the unique stages of your family’s journey.
The significance of these photos extends far beyond the present. They will become treasured keepsakes that you can look back on as your family grows and changes. Sharing these images with your children as they grow helps them see the love and joy that surrounded them throughout their lives. Including grandparents, siblings, or extended family members can make the photoshoot even more special, creating a beautiful visual story that celebrates the strength and connection of your entire family.

Timing is an essential factor when planning a family photoshoot in Dubai. The city’s stunning natural light and beautiful outdoor locations make it a perfect setting for family portraits, but choosing the right time ensures the photos truly shine. The best times for outdoor family photoshoots are typically during the cooler months, from October to April, when the weather is more comfortable for everyone, especially young children. Early mornings or late afternoons known as the “golden hours” are ideal for capturing soft, flattering light.
However, each family is unique, and we understand that schedules can be busy. We’re happy to work with you to find a time that fits your family’s routine, whether that means an early morning beach shoot or an evening session in one of Dubai’s beautiful parks. Flexibility is key to making sure everyone feels comfortable and enjoys the experience.
Picking the right photographer for your family photoshoot can make all the difference, and at Shots by Charlotte, we offer a blend of professionalism, creativity, and personalized service to create a memorable experience for your family.

Fun Fact about Charlotte
My very first photoshoot took place in the stunning desert of Dubai, with golden sand dunes as the backdrop! I was still relatively new to the profession and wasn’t entirely sure what to expect, but what an experience it was. Surrounded by the breathtaking landscape and the soft light of the setting sun, I found my passion and knew that this was what I wanted to do. That day, amidst the calm and beauty of nature, shaped me into the photographer I am today.
About Us: Family Videographer Collin
What started as a way to spend more time with Charlotte turned into a deep passion for capturing life’s moments on video. Each photoshoot is an opportunity for me as a videographer to tell a unique story – a story that can be both seen and felt. My style is dynamic and emotional, always seeking out those unexpected moments that make a session so special. It’s incredibly rewarding to capture the love, joy, and connection of this extraordinary time in a film that you’ll treasure forever.
Fun Fact about Collin
If you see me surrounded by giggling children during a shoot , it’s probably because Charlotte is taking funny pictures of me explaining how the drone works or answering their questions about the camera. The kids find it absolutely fascinating, and the photos are hilarious to look back on! It’s become a bit of a tradition to catch these spontaneous moments, and they always bring a smile to our faces.
