Customer Love

What Clients Have to Say

A smiling family of four poses in a charming cobblestone street in Lisbon, Portugal, decorated with colorful streamers. The parents and two young daughters wear vibrant outfits, capturing the joy of a family photoshoot in Lisbon's historic Alfama district.

“Marga was great at customising the experience to fit our needs. When she noticed we were travelling with small kids, she adjusted the itinerary to make them more comfortable. The turnaround to receive the photos was really short. She was able to capture pretty cool moments for our family. I would definitely recommend booking this experience.”

Manuel

A happy family poses on a cobblestone street in Lisbon, surrounded by whitewashed walls and a colorful building in the background. This charming scene is ideal for Lisbon family photography.

“Marga mixed our photo session with bits of history, trivia, and laughter. She was prompt and had happy energies that helped shake off our jet lag on a cloudy day. She is very personable, and my kids were quick to be comfortable with her to the point they wanted to see her again the next day! We had our photo session in the afternoon, and she delivered the photos that same evening. All was good! A pleasant and memorable experience! You must book with Marga, and she’ll send you home with lovely photos that you’ll remember for life!”

“Marga is so friendly and welcoming and the kids loved working with her. I’m usually our family photographer so it was so nice to be in the pics for a change. We also got a mini tour of the Alfama district in the back streets that are less touristy and nice for a change. We love the photos we got and I’m excited I’ll be able to pick a few to get printed! Would definitely reach out again when we travel back.”

“Book Marga as your vacation photographer! I had the pleasure of shooting with her twice, so I cannot recommend her enough! She knows all the best places to shoot and capture your visit to Portugal. The photos we received from her are ones that I will cherish forever. She captured the beautiful architecture and lighting in every spot we went to. She is very knowledgeable about Portugal, its history, and everything you need to see when visiting. She was also so calm and kind to our four-year-old. We all loved working with Marga!”

Lindsey

Children photoshoot in Lisbon featuring an adorable baby girl with dark wavy hair tied up in a tiny ponytail, wearing a mustard-yellow sweater. She is being carried by a parent, gazing curiously at the camera, with the charming, narrow streets of Lisbon’s historic district in the background.

“Marga sure made the best impression. She has been very friendly, flexible, considerate, responsive and approachable since the beginning. She made our family (including grandma and a 9-month-old baby) very comfortable and able to enjoy Lisbon from a different perspective. We are very boring posers in front of cameras, but she captured precious moments and natural expressions that we wouldn’t have otherwise been able to see. We would highly recommend Marga if you are looking for a personalised shoot!”

Frequently Asked Questions

What if it rains on the day of our photoshoot?

Lisbon is known for its sunshine, but if it rains, we have options. I can suggest covered locations in Lisbon, or we can reschedule if the weather is unsafe or extreme. I always monitor the forecast closely in the days leading up to your session.

How far in advance should we book?

Spring through autumn tends to book up fastest, especially mornings. I recommend booking two to three months in advance if you’re travelling during peak season. That said, feel free to reach out, even if your trip is coming up soon. I sometimes have last-minute availability.

What if my children don’t cooperate?

That’s completely normal. Children have their own rhythm, especially while travelling. I work with patience, movement, and play rather than forcing poses. I bring small tools like lens toys and bubbles to keep younger kids engaged. Often the candid in between moments become the favourites.

Will you help us with posing?

Yes. I gently guide you into natural positions that feel relaxed and authentic. Nothing stiff or overly posed. I focus on interaction, connection, and movement so your Lisbon family photography feels real.

What should we wear for a family photoshoot?

Wear something you feel comfortable and confident in. Lisbon’s cobblestones and hills mean practical shoes are important, especially with children. Neutral tones and soft colours photograph beautifully against Lisbon’s tiles and pastel buildings. I’m happy to give personalised outfit advice before your session.

Can you photograph larger families?

Yes. If you’re travelling with more than four adults or as a bigger family group, a dedicated group session may be the best fit. I’ll help coordinate combinations and make sure everyone is included.

How will we receive our photos?

You’ll receive your edited images in a private online gallery, where you can download and share them with family and friends. The gallery remains available for one year.

When is the best time of day for family photos in Lisbon?

Early morning is usually ideal for family photos in Lisbon. The light is soft, the streets are quieter, and younger children tend to be more rested and relaxed before a full day of sightseeing. Sunset can also work beautifully, especially for families with older children. The best timing depends on your children’s ages and energy levels, and I’ll can always advise you based on your chosen location.

What happens if we need to reschedule?

If weather conditions are unsafe or extreme, I will always try to reschedule. If your travel plans change, please let me know as soon as possible so we can discuss options based on availability.
