Bringing your family together in the Algarve is something special. Golden beaches, Atlantic light, slow mornings, salty hair, kids laughing freely — moments that feel simple now but become priceless later. Yet most families return home realizing something important is missing: beautiful photos of everyone together.
As an experienced Algarve family photographer based in Sagres, I help visiting families turn their holiday into lasting memories with relaxed, natural photo sessions on the Algarve’s most stunning beaches and cliffs. No stiff posing, no stress — just honest moments you’ll treasure for years.
Why Book a Family Photoshoot in the Algarve?
Family holidays don’t happen oftenand they pass quickly. A professional family photoshoot in the Algarve allows you to:
Capture everyone together (parents included — no more missing-from-the-photo moments)
Take advantage of the Algarve’s unique natural light and dramatic coastline
Create meaningful memories while everyone is relaxed and present
Bring home images that outlast souvenirs and phone photos
Many families tell me this was their favorite experience of the trip was the Algarve Family Photography Experience not because it felt like a photoshoot, but because it felt like quality time
What an Algarve Family Photography Experience Is Really Like
My approach to family photography in Sagres and the Algarve is calm, flexible, and child-friendly.
Here’s how it works:
1. We Plan Together
Before your session, we choose the best location based on:
Your accommodation (Sagres, Lagos, resort, or beach)
Wind and weather conditions
Kids’ ages and energy levels
Morning or sunset light
2. Relax & Enjoy the Moment
During the session:
I guide you gently — no forced poses
Kids are free to explore and be themselves
Breaks are always welcome
Sessions feel natural, not rushed
3. You Receive Timeless Images
After the shoot, you’ll receive a curated gallery of professionally edited images that feel authentic, elegant, and alive — photos that look just as good on your wall as they do in an album.

For over 10 years based in Sagres, I’ve photographed hundreds of families from around the world — many visiting the Algarve for the first time.\

Sessions feel relaxed and enjoyable
Photos reflect real emotions, not trends
My goal is simple: help you enjoy the moment and leave with images that feel honest and timeless.
Frequently Asked Questions
What if my kids don’t cooperate?
That’s completely normal. I work around their energy, not against it. Some of the best photos come from unplanned moments.
What should we wear for our family photos?
Neutral tones, light colors, and simple outfits work best. I’m happy to advise before your session.
Can grandparents or extended family join?
Yes — just let me know in advance so we plan the session accordingly.
What if the weather is bad?
We stay flexible. If conditions aren’t ideal, we reschedule or adjust location and timing, FOR ADVENTUROUS FAMILIES I also love to embrace the weather and shoot in rain.
The Algarve Photographic Tour Experience (Premium Option)
For families who want more than a single photoshoot, I also offer a half‑day Algarve Photographic Tour — a guided visual journey along the west coast, combining breathtaking locations with relaxed photography.
This is not just a session. It’s an experience, designed for families who love exploring, landscapes, and storytelling.
What Is the Algarve Family Photographic Tour?
The Algarve Photographic Tour is a curated route through some of the most iconic and lesser‑known spots of the west coast, including:
Dramatic cliffs overlooking the Atlantic
Wild, open west‑coast beaches
Quiet coves and viewpoints around Sagres
Instead of staying in one place, we move together from spot to spot, capturing your family naturally as you explore.
You follow me with your own car, stopping at selected locations where we shoot short, relaxed photo sets at each point while you check the Panorama.
