Family Photoshoot in Jardim da Estrela

There’s something truly magical about a summer morning in Lisbon, especially in the enchanting Jardim da Estrela. The golden light filtering through the grand trees, the soft rustling of leaves in the breeze, and the cheerful sounds of families enjoying the park create the perfect setting for a family photoshoot.

This particular session was full of love, laughter, and a touch of sweet bribery! I had the pleasure of photographing a wonderful mother and her three children—two energetic kids and their adorable baby sibling. From the very start, the older kids were buzzing with excitement, running around the park, asking for the lollipops that their mother had wisely packed in her purse. Their joy and playfulness made for the most natural and heartwarming moments to capture.

Despite all the energy and excitement, their baby sibling remained calm and content, gazing around with big, curious eyes. With soft smiles and gentle cuddles, the baby added a serene balance to the dynamic energy of the older children. It was heartwarming to witness the pure bond between them all.

We explored different corners of the park, taking advantage of the beautiful pathways, the historic gazebo, and the lush greenery that make Jardim da Estrela so unique. The kids loved running through the open spaces, their giggles filling the air as they played hide-and-seek behind the trees. And, of course, there were frequent breaks to sneak a lollipop or two from their mother’s bag!

As the session came to a close, we headed toward the rope pyramid playground, where the two older children found a final burst of energy. They eagerly climbed to the top, striking playful poses as I snapped some final shots. It was the perfect way to end a session—full of adventure, laughter, and the kind of childhood moments that families will cherish forever.

Photographing this beautiful family was an absolute joy, and I hope these images will serve as treasured memories for years to come. Jardim da Estrela provided the perfect backdrop, but it was the love and connection between this mother and her children that truly made this session so special.

If you’re thinking of capturing your own family’s special moments, let’s create something beautiful together. Reach out, and let’s plan a photoshoot filled with love, laughter, and maybe even a few lollipops!
