Family photographer in Innsbruck

A family photographer in Innsbruck is a photographer who takes natural photos of parents, children and often grandparents together, outdoors in the city or at home, while the children play rather than pose. Innsbruck has a setting few cities can match for this: the Alpenzoo on the slope below the Hungerburg, where around 2,000 animals of roughly 150 species from the Alps live, open every day of the year – 9.00 to 18.00 from April to October and 9.00 to 17.00 from November to March.

Children who are busy watching alpine animals forget the camera, which is exactly what a family photographer wants. A session usually lasts about an hour, sometimes 90 minutes with a break for a snack, and moves between a few spots so that small children stay interested.

Location ideas in Innsbruck

01
Alpenzoo
The grounds lie on a slope with some steeper sections and steps, though most paths are paved. Dogs are not allowed, so the family pet stays at home for this one.
02
Hungerburg
One stop above the zoo on the Hungerburg funicular. The open space by the station looks over the whole city – good for a group photo with grandparents.
03
Hofgarten
Flat paths and big trees in the centre of town, easy with a pram. Cycling and scooters are not allowed inside, so toddlers can run safely.

Good to know

Take bus W from the Marktplatz or the Hungerburg funicular to the zoo; on busy weekends and holidays the zoo’s car parks fill up.
In summer, book a 9.00 start at the Alpenzoo: the zoo has just opened, the light is soft and children are fresh.
A combined ticket for the funicular and the zoo is sold at the valley station, which saves queuing twice with tired children.

Frequently asked questions

Is the Alpenzoo a good place for a family photoshoot in Innsbruck?

Yes, especially with children between about two and ten. The animals keep them busy, the zoo is open all year, and you can combine it with the Hungerburg view one funicular stop higher. Expect slopes, so a sturdy pram or a carrier works best.

How long does a family photoshoot in Innsbruck take?

Most family sessions in Innsbruck last about an hour. With very young children or a large family group, 90 minutes with a short break gives everyone time to warm up without anyone getting overtired.

Can the family photographer come to our home in Innsbruck?

Yes. A session at home is relaxed for babies and toddlers and works in any weather. Many families combine 30 minutes at home with a short walk to a nearby park or along the Inn.
