Why choose family photography in Ouro Preto?
A family session in Ouro Preto is part of a weekend trip, usually from Belo Horizonte, and children judge the town by its steps: steep stone streets that are wonderful in photographs and hard on small legs. The session is kept to the flatter centre, around Praça Tiradentes, and paired with something indoors for the children afterwards. The obvious pairing is free, a few steps away, and closed on the day most families are in town.
Worth knowing about Ouro Preto
Ibram lists the Museu da Inconfidência's hours as Tuesday to Thursday from 10:00 to 18:00 and Friday and Saturday from 10:00 to 20:00, with free admission, which leaves it closed on Sundays and Mondays. A family session on Praça Tiradentes paired with a museum visit is therefore booked from Tuesday to Saturday, not on the Sunday of a weekend trip.

FAQ — Family photography in Ouro Preto
Is Ouro Preto a good place for a family session with small children?
Yes, if it stays near Praça Tiradentes. The streets of Ouro Preto are steep and cobbled, so a family session with small children uses the flat square and short stretches of street, planned downhill, with a stroller left in the car and comfortable shoes for everyone.
Which day of the week suits a family session in Ouro Preto?
Tuesday to Saturday. The free Museu da Inconfidência on the main square of Ouro Preto opens only on those days, and weekday mornings bring fewer tour coaches, so a family session then gets a quieter square and an indoor visit for the children right after it.
