Book a Family Photoshoot
on Procida

Our photographers are experienced with children of all ages and know that kids will be kids — that's actually what makes family photos so authentic and charming. They use games, silly jokes, piggyback rides, tickle attacks, and natural play to capture genuine laughter and real connections. Some of the best family photos come from spontaneous, unscripted moments when a toddler runs off or siblings start goofing around. Your photographer will keep the energy light and fun, taking breaks when needed. Sessions with young children (under 5) are often scheduled in the morning when energy levels are highest. Don't worry about perfection — book with Photo Italy and let your photographer handle the rest.

Every age is perfect for a family photoshoot in Italy. Photographers adapt their approach to suit your children: for babies and toddlers (6 months to 3 years), they focus on natural play, cuddles, and close-up moments in calm settings like gardens or beaches. For children aged 4-10, sessions become more interactive with exploring, jumping, and adventure-style shots at castles or along waterfronts. Teenagers respond well to a relaxed, editorial approach that makes them feel cool rather than forced. Multi-generational families with grandparents benefit from Italy's accessible promenades in Positano or Amalfi. The key is choosing a location and time that suits your youngest family member. Photo Italy photographers will tailor the entire session to your family's ages and energy levels.

Choose a coordinated color palette rather than matching outfits — this creates visual harmony without looking staged. Earth tones (tan, olive, cream), pastels (dusty rose, light blue), and classic blues work beautifully against Italy's warm sandstone buildings and green landscapes. Avoid neon colors, large logos, and busy patterns that can distract from faces and expressions. Layers add visual interest: a light scarf, denim jacket, or cardigan works well. Comfortable shoes are essential, especially for Rome's cobblestone streets and Florence's historic lanes — sneakers or sandals with grip are ideal for kids. Your Photo Italy photographer will send a personalized style guide after booking, with specific recommendations based on your location, season, and family size.

Photoshoots in Procida start from €319, and one- to two-hour packages run roughly €319 to €450 depending on the length and the number of edited photos. The island is small enough that one hour genuinely covers Corricella and the climb to Terra Murata above it. The second hour buys Marina Grande or the harbour at Chiaiolella at the far end, about twenty minutes away on foot or by bus.

Marina Corricella, where ochre, pink and cream houses stack up over the quay and no car can reach you; the belvedere at Terra Murata, which looks straight down onto those roofs; the alleys and outside staircases behind the harbour, still hung with nets and washing; the pastel front at Marina Grande where the ferry lands; and the small harbour at Chiaiolella with the wooded islet of Vivara behind it.

Corricella faces roughly south-east, so it takes the morning sun on its façades and falls into shade by late afternoon; the belvedere above it is better in the last hour, with the colours warm and the harbour lit sideways. April, May, June and September are the good months. In August the island is full and the ferries land crowds all day, while from November to March many places simply shut.
