FAMILY SESSION
Planning Guide
MORE FUN and LESS WORRIES ABOUT POSES.
That’s our promise to you.
Having family photos taken should not be something you dread.
You’re probably used to quick and rushed photo sessions, where you are asked to pose and jump from one spot to another to take photos… and you always feel so overwhelmed. We get that.
And we’re here to show you it can be a fun and easy experience.
FUN. AUTHENTIC. MEANINGFUL.
CIAO!
WE’RE SARA AND ALESSANDRO, YOUR CINQUE TERRE PHOTOGRAPHERS
We’re a husband & wife photography team based in Cinque Terre, Italy.
We believe that getting memorable photos shouldn’t be stressful or boring. It should be fun and easy. You should have a great time.
We’re all about creating unique and custom experiences to capture moments that are authentically YOU while having fun and embracing the Italian lifestyle.
We know how it feels to be on the other side of the lens and how important feeling “seen” and supported during the whole process is. That’s why our photo sessions are completely different from traditional photoshoots.

The
FAMILY EXPERIENCE
Our experience is not like a traditional photo shoot.
It’s a full Dolce Vita Experience: enjoying life to its fullest with your loved ones, savoring the moment and slowing down.
From the first online consultation to the final delivery of your carefully curated images, our sole focus is to make sure that every aspect of your family photoshoot is nothing short of extraordinary.
Perfect for you if
Tailored Service
Personalized Experience
As full-service photographers, we aim to offer a luxury photography experience and we believe in excellent customer service.
Our photography sessions are designed to accommodate your unique needs and desires.
You can choose the duration of the photo session that aligns with your vision and only purchase the images you absolutely adore.
Simple, flexible, and entirely focused on capturing your moment your way.
Every moment, meticulously crafted
Unlike standard practices, we don’t stop at basic corrections of exposure and color. Each image from your photo session receives individual attention, ensuring the highest quality enhancement to truly reflect your unique story. This meticulous approach is not commonly offered for on-location photo shoots, yet we consider it essential to elevate your images to their full potential.
Consider that behind every 2-hour photo session lies more than 20 hours of “hidden” dedicated work! A commitment to excellence we proudly uphold for your most treasured moments.
What does our Experience include?
How does it work?
1. Planning
We plan the session according to all your needs (through the questionnaire and the online personal consultation) and you can send us the photos of your rooms that you’d love to display your artwork.
2. Let’s celebrate
The day of the session you’ll simply focus on your loved one and enjoy your time together, having fun and doing what you love.
3. Design
We will do a soft edit of all your photos, and we will design an album and wall art for your home.
4. Reveal Celebration
You will be invited to a Reveal Celebration & Online Ordering appointment, where you can view all your proofs and place your order. Once you pick up your favorite images, we will take care of the final edits of your selected images.
5. Delivery
You will receive your artwork at your door and/or an online gallery to download and share with your friends and family the high resolution digital files you purchased.
Q: So what’s the investment?
A: Totally your call!
Let’s make it simple, yeah?

STEP 2: AFTER THE SESSION
Two weeks after your session you will have your Reveal Celebration & Online Ordering appointment to view your images and buy the ones you love.
You won’t have to worry about organizing all your photos and deciding which ones to print by yourself.
Imagine what it would be like to wake up and see the photos of you hugging, playing and laughing together as you walk downstairs to prepare breakfast.
Imagine what it would feel like to smile every day as you look at a photo of you together hanging on the walls of your home that immediately brings back all the emotions you’ve felt.
