Book a Family Photoshoot
on Zakynthos

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 Zakynthos start from €310. Packages vary by duration and the number of edited photos — from a session at the Navagio viewpoint or Bochali to a longer day combining cliffs, town and a boat trip.

The clifftop viewpoint above Navagio, the shipwreck beach with its white cliffs and impossible blue, the Bochali balcony over Zakynthos town, the Blue Caves at Cape Skinari, the sunset cliffs of Keri with their sea stacks, and the sculpted sands of Gerakas at the island's southern tip.

Morning at the Navagio viewpoint, when the sun reaches into the cove and lights the white cliffs, then Keri or Bochali for sunset — the west coast faces the setting sun and delivers every evening. Late spring and September give calmer seas for boat sessions and beaches without the summer crowds.
