Family Photoshoots in Lisbon
Relaxed family photography in Lisbon
Family holidays create some of our favourite memories, but too often one person is always behind the camera. A family photoshoot in Lisbon is the perfect way to capture your time together while making sure everyone is part of the story.
My family sessions are relaxed, fun, and suitable for all ages, from young children to grandparents. There's no need to worry about posing or getting the perfect smile. I'll guide you naturally throughout the session while capturing genuine moments, laughter, and connections.
Most sessions take place in beautiful locations around Lisbon, including Alfama, Bairro Alto, and other scenic areas. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or simply want beautiful family photos from your trip to Portugal, I'd love to help create memories you'll treasure for years to come.

"Book Marga as your vacation photographer! I enjoyed 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 was also so calm and kind to our 4-year-old. We all loved working with Marga!"

"Marga was 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 backstreets 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."

"The photoshoot with Marga was simply fantastic: she's a wonderful and lovely photographer who knows all the most beautiful spots in Lisbon and created unique memories of our holiday with her photos. Finally, no holiday selfies or "more-or-less" photos taken of us as a family by a passerby. I've already recommended Marga to several friends who have since been to Lisbon. Thank you again!"

Frequently asked questions
Which session is best for my family?
The 30-minute session is best for quick family memories, younger children, or smaller families who want a short and easy experience.
The 60-minute session is a great middle option if you want a relaxed pace, a little more variety, and time to settle into the shoot.
The 90-minute session is best for larger families, multi-generational groups, or anyone who wants more variety without feeling rushed.
If you’d like to explore more of Lisbon, I also offer extended 4-hour and 6-hour sessions. These are ideal if you want to visit 2–3 neighbourhoods in one day while capturing beautiful family memories along the way.
Do you help with posing?
Absolutely. I’ll guide you naturally throughout the session, so you don’t need to know what to do in front of the camera. For family sessions, I also keep things relaxed and playful. I can bring a few simple props to help keep younger children entertained, but there’s no pressure for perfect poses. Some of the best photos happen in the in-between moments.
What if my children don't cooperate?
Don't worry. Children will be children! I keep sessions relaxed and flexible, and some of the best photos happen during natural moments rather than perfectly posed ones.
What happens if it rains?
If the weather looks bad, we’ll try to reschedule your session whenever possible. If the weather is very bad and we can’t find a suitable alternative during your stay, I may offer a refund instead.
How long does it take to receive our photos?
Most galleries are delivered within 2 days, although during busy periods delivery may take up to 7 days.
Can grandparents or extended family join?
Yes, absolutely. Grandparents and extended family are welcome, and multi-generational sessions can be really special. For very large groups, please send a contact request before booking so I can recommend the best session length and location.
Do you photograph outside Lisbon?
Yes. I also photograph families in nearby locations such as Sintra, Cascais, Óbidos, and other parts of Portugal. Travel fees may apply depending on the location. Please contact me for more information.
