This past February, we had the pleasure of capturing a very special family photo session.

We first met the Blouin family 10 years ago when they celebrated their wedding in Punta Cana. More than just their wedding photographers, we became their trusted guides throughout the planning process, sharing our local expertise to help them create their dream day.

Two years after their wedding, they returned to the Dominican Republic and booked their first family photo session with us. Since then, we’ve had the honor of photographing them two more times, with their most recent visit bringing the whole family back together on the island.

We spent a wonderful day capturing their moments, even pausing the first part of the shoot due to an unexpected downpour. But as Catherine—the former bride—so beautifully put it:

“The result speaks for itself in the form of many, many, MANY amazing pictures that are the best souvenir we could hope for.”

Inspired by this incredible experience, we feel confident in guiding you through your own family photo session here in Punta Cana. If you’re planning to book one during your next visit, here are some helpful tips:

Best Time for Photos – Early morning offers soft light and fewer crowds, while sunset brings the magic of golden hour

Choosing the Perfect Location – Whether it’s the beach, lush gardens, or a stunning resort setting, your backdrop matters! Macao Beach, Juanillo Beach, and Bávaro Beach are all fantastic options.

Outfit & Color Selection – Light, airy fabrics in neutral or pastel tones complement the tropical scenery beautifully. Avoid heavy patterns or large logos for a timeless look.

Weather & Wind Considerations – Punta Cana can be breezy! Flowing dresses look stunning, but be mindful of hair and accessories to avoid distractions.

Candid Moments Matter – The best shots happen when you relax and enjoy the experience. Let the kids play, share laughs, and create genuine memories.
