Frequently Asked Questions About Family Portraits in Minneapolis

Portrait Gallery

1. What is the best time of year to book family portraits in Minneapolis?
The best time is whenever your family is ready to capture this specific season of life. Because Dale Studios is an indoor portrait studio in Minneapolis, we never have to worry about rain, wind, or freezing Minnesota temperatures. You can book a comfortable, beautifully lit session year-round.

2. How much does a family portrait session cost?
Our starting investment is $895. This includes your guided in-studio session with Bob Dale, a Master Photographer, as well as a design consultation to help you turn your favorite images into heirloom wall art. We believe in transparent pricing, so you know exactly what to expect before you walk through the door.

3. What should we wear for our family photography session?
For timeless family photography in Minneapolis, we recommend coordinating your outfits without being overly “matchy.” Stick to solid colors, earth tones, or soft neutrals, and avoid large logos or busy neon patterns. During your consultation, Bob will provide specific wardrobe guidance to ensure your clothing complements your home’s decor and our studio lighting.

4. How long does a typical family portrait session take?
Most sessions at our portrait studio in Minneapolis take about 45 to 60 minutes. This gives everyone enough time to relax, get comfortable in front of the camera, and capture a variety of groupings — without the kids losing their patience.

5. What if my kids won’t sit still or smile?
Please don’t worry. Bob has photographed thousands of children over the last 40 years. He knows how to make the session fun, relaxed, and engaging — capturing genuine, natural expressions rather than stiff, forced smiles. Kids who come in nervous almost always leave laughing.
