Book a Family Photoshoot
on Corfu

This happens all the time, and our family photographers are prepared for it. The secret is that the best family photos don't come from asking kids to pose — they come from play. Your photographer will turn the session into a game: racing along the beach at Naxos, feeding pigeons in Athens, hunting for cats in Chania's old harbour lanes. Tantrums and shy phases get waited out with a break and a snack, and sessions are scheduled around naps and meals. Even a session that feels chaotic in the moment produces wonderful genuine images — often better than the ones where everyone behaved.

There's no wrong age — each stage photographs differently and beautifully. Babies bring quiet, tender close-ups; toddlers bring motion and hilarious candid moments; school-age kids love the adventure of exploring castles and beaches on camera; teens relax once they realise nobody is forcing stiff poses. Multi-generation shoots with grandparents are among the most treasured bookings we see, especially on family reunion trips to the islands. The one practical tip: with children under five, book morning sessions when energy and light are both at their best. Your Photo Greece photographer adapts the pace and games to the ages in your group.

Aim for a coordinated palette rather than identical outfits: two or three soft colors that everyone wears in their own way. Creams, soft blues, sage and sand tones look wonderful against Greece's white walls, turquoise sea and stone villages. Skip big logos, characters and neon shades. Dress kids in clothes they can move and play in — the session will involve running, climbing steps and sitting on beaches. Bring a change of clothes for little ones (Greek beaches are irresistible) and comfortable shoes for cobbled lanes. Your photographer will send simple styling tips for your specific location and season when you book.

Professional photoshoots in Corfu start from €310. Packages vary by duration and the number of edited photos — from a session in the Old Town's Venetian lanes to a longer route adding Kanoni or the bays of Paleokastritsa.

The Liston arcades and the great green Spianada, the Old Fortress across its seawater moat, the kantounia — the Old Town's narrow Venetian lanes with laundry strung overhead — the Kanoni viewpoint over Vlacherna monastery and Mouse Island, and Paleokastritsa's twin bays backed by cypress hills.

Morning in the Old Town, when the kantounia are cool and shaded and the Liston's cafés are just opening. Kanoni and Paleokastritsa belong to the late afternoon, when the low sun warms the bays. Corfu is the greenest of the Greek islands — spring drapes it in wildflowers, and even summer keeps its shade.
