Book a Kids Birthday Photoshoot
in Corfu

Professional photoshoots in Corfu start from €279. 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.

Yes — Kanoni at sunset, with Vlacherna monastery and Mouse Island below, is Corfu's classic proposal frame, and the Old Fortress or a quiet kantouni corner work beautifully for something more private. Your photographer scouts the spot in advance and blends in until the moment; for typical small sessions in public areas no permit is usually needed.

Every age works — the format just adapts. First and second birthdays are cake-smash territory: short sessions, morning light, a washable location like a beach, and parents nearby with wipes and a spare outfit. Ages three to six shine in adventure formats, where the shoot is disguised as a game and the photographer is just the funny grown-up with a camera. School-age kids often love being the star of a 'magazine shoot' — give them small missions and they deliver poses you couldn't direct if you tried. From around ten, involve them in planning: kids who chose the location and their outfit cooperate at triple the rate. Whatever the age, schedule around meals and naps, and tell your Photo Greece photographer about your child's current obsessions — a dinosaur fan photographs differently from a mermaid expert.

Then the photographer stops asking for poses — that's the entire trick. Kids-specialist photographers open sessions by not photographing at all: five minutes of showing the camera, letting the child press the shutter, becoming the least threatening adult present. Then the shoot becomes a game with rules the child controls — hide behind the wall and pop out, race me to that boat, show me your monster face. Shyness reads as delicacy in photos when nobody forces eye contact with the lens; some of the most beautiful kids' portraits are of a child absorbed in shell-collecting, unaware of the camera. Parents help most by being relaxed themselves and letting the photographer set the rhythm. The 'won't pose' kid usually refuses to leave when the session ends.
