Book a Kids Birthday Photoshoot
in Kefalonia

Professional photoshoots in Kefalonia start from €279. Packages vary by duration and the number of edited photos — from a session in Assos or Fiscardo to a longer route linking the Myrtos viewpoint with the north-coast villages.

The Myrtos viewpoint, where the white beach curves far below the cliff road, the pastel village of Assos on its pine-covered peninsula with a Venetian fort above, Fiscardo's harbourside houses that survived the 1953 earthquake, Melissani cave's underground lake, and the Agioi Theodoroi lighthouse outside Argostoli.

Melissani is the exception to every rule: go around midday, when the sun drops straight through the collapsed roof and turns the lake electric blue. Everywhere else, keep the usual rhythm — Assos and Fiscardo in soft morning light, the Myrtos viewpoint for golden hour, when the cliff glows and the sea deepens.

Kefalonia is big — the largest of the Ionian islands — and its best spots line the dramatic north-coast road, so plan on driving. Most sessions pick one area rather than chasing the whole island: Assos and Myrtos pair naturally, Fiscardo suits a relaxed harbour session, and Argostoli works if you are staying south. Your photographer will plan the route around the light.

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.
