INTRO
Alright, fam, listen up.
Travelling with children in a volcanic island can be challenging but Santorini is not any volcanic island, it is the most popular Greek island for a reason. Time flies when you have kids and photos help. They freeze it. They remind you, you were here. You lived this with them.
These pictures will be a treasure for your kids, a reminder that you dragged them across the globe (and didn't just leave them with their nanny!)





The Best Time for a Family Photoshoot in Santorini
Let’s be real. Kids and early mornings is not the best combo. But in Santorini, morning light and empty streets can be your best friend. With fewer people around, you can get to Santorini’s best photo spots easier and faster. Especially if you want to be photographed in Oia, you will have to wake up early. In my experience convenience is a huge factor when I plan ahead for family sessions so I always try to shoot at the right times and spots.





Kids-Friendly Santorini Photo Locations
Skaros Rock. Just kidding!
Again, when I think of a family session I think safety, privacy and convenience. Places that are very close to the edge of the caldera, tons of stairs and busy spots are the last in my list. We can explore and shoot at places where your kids can run around and be themselves without you constantly yelling "Don't fall!”. Oia is a great option as it is relatively flat. Pyrgos is safe and has this very signature vibe that brings you back in time. If your kids are over 5 years old they’re going to have a lot of fun there.




Family photoshoot is not a couple session
If you’re picturing romantic and intimate pictures with your partner then hire a nanny for a few hours and book a separate couple shoot. We'll grab a few shots of you two, sure, but it won't be the same as a dedicated couple session.




Keep it short and sweet
Not the best marketing post for us but I'd rather have a fantastic one-hour shoot than a half-day photo marathon that ends in tears (yours or theirs). Please don’t aim for four different villages with different outfits as this will NOT happen. Let’s work efficiently and capture the best shots without dragging it out.
Travel with kids is a whirlwind, a beautiful, chaotic mess of memories in the making. And that's exactly why you need a family photoshoot in Santorini.
