Summer Family Picnic & Newborn Photoshoot in Dyrehaven – Outdoor Lifestyle Photography in Copenhagen
There’s something about a quiet summer afternoon in Dyrehaven — the filtered forest light, the gentle hum of leaves, and the way time seems to stretch just enough to let you breathe.
This outdoor family photoshoot was set in one of Denmark’s most beloved landscapes, just north of Copenhagen. As a family photographer based in Copenhagen, Dyrehaven is one of my favourite places to capture families — especially when there’s a newborn in the mix. It offers the perfect balance of natural beauty, soft light, and space to play.
This session was equal parts lifestyle family photography and honest documentary — no stiff posing, no studio backdrops. Just a family of five, their first picnic together in the forest, and all the energy, emotion, and beauty that came with it.
Why Dyrehaven is Perfect for Family Photography Near Copenhagen
If you’re searching for a family photographer near you in the Copenhagen area and want something outdoors and full of feeling — Dyrehaven is it.
We explored a small glade surrounded by tall trees, wild grass, and soft golden light. It was peaceful and playful, just right for a newborn family photography session with energetic siblings and plenty of room for curiosity to unfold.
There were moments of exploring the forest floor, little hands collecting treasures, and laughter that carried through the trees. I focused on capturing real connection — personalities and relationships revealing themselves naturally, without ever asking anyone to pose.
At the heart of it all was the newest family member, resting quietly in loving arms. There’s a softness to newborn family photography outdoors — something intimate and sacred when captured under the canopy of a Danish forest. Whether it was the quiet moments of feeding, the way a tiny body fit perfectly in the curve of a parent’s chest, or how they were gently passed from one pair of arms to another — these are the memories that will still matter years from now.
A picnic unfolded in the shade — pancakes, Danish peas, sticky fingers, and laughter carrying through the trees. Food, mess, and joy wove together to tell their family’s story in the most honest way.
