This beautiful request for a family photoshoot in Lauterbrunnen came from Andrea via Instagram. As a family, they were traveling in Europe and wanted to capture their family time in the breathtaking Lauterbrunnen Valley. Naturally, I was immediately excited and gladly took the 1.5-hour drive to capture this wonderful family in a location full of waterfalls and impressive mountains. My last photoshoot in Lauterbrunnen was in December, and the landscape looked different in the summer. Rich green meadows, flowing waterfalls, and towering cliffs awaited me. We did the photoshoot in the early morning hours, as Lauterbrunnen is usually crowded with tourists by 9 AM. Since they were already waking up early with Elias, it worked perfectly for both of us. We met at a picnic spot and stopped at various beautiful photo spots. And there are many of them in the Lauterbrunnen Valley – a total of 72 waterfalls, wow! It was a cozy and beautiful time with Andrea, Adam, and Elias. I love learning more about my couples, especially when they come from abroad. Our life circumstances are all so different yet somehow not so different. (: And their little boy was just so cute! As a memory, Andrea wore the same dress as she did during the maternity photoshoot. I thought it was a great idea, and the blue matched wonderfully with the blue mountains in the background.

Since Lauterbrunnen is an incredibly famous place, there are many signs prohibiting leaving the paths. This makes it a bit challenging to capture the beautiful landscape without breaking any rules. However, through location scouting and various photoshoots, I now know some great spots.

There is a famous viewpoint in the village of Lauterbrunnen, offering a great view of the valley and the beautiful church of Lauterbrunnen. This spot was, of course, essential for the photos. It is highly recommended to visit at off-peak times, preferably early in the morning, to avoid crowds. Towards the end, the sun emerged from behind the mountains, and we walked back through the village to the parking lot. Although little Elias was a bit under the weather and not always in the mood to shine, it was a beautiful photoshoot with this lovely family, and we still managed to capture some smiles from him. (: Thank you very much, dear Andrea, Adam, and Elias, for your trust in letting me capture your moments in this beautiful place!
