Family, children
photographer in Lisbon
Real smiles, real moments – for families who just want to be themselves
Family sessions are all about connection, laughter, and love. I don't ask kids to pose – they play, explore, and enjoy the moment while I quietly capture it all.
Whether it's a walk through Lisbon's cozy streets or a sunset at the ocean, we'll create memories you'll want to come back to for years.
About me Dimas Frolov
Hey, I'm Dimas, a family photographer who loves working with big families and small kids. My goal is to help you feel relaxed, enjoy the moment, and get photos that truly reflect your connection.
We'll keep things simple. Just time together, laughter, hugs, and small moments that show who you are as a family. I'll guide you gently when needed, but mostly I'll be more like a friend with a camera.
The result is a set of warm, emotional images you'll want to keep and look back on for years to come.

Want to see real sessions? Full family photo shoots
Working with children is always a joy. They don't pose – they live. They live in the moment, react sincerely, and laugh for real. That's the beauty of it.
My job as a family photographer isn't to make a child smile, but to become their friend – even if just for half an hour. I follow their pace, join their world, and capture the magic. It's a challenge I always take with joy.
Below are a few photo stories – honest, warm, and real – showing what a family photoshoot with me really feels like.

Most common questions about photo shoots
In Lisbon center – sunrise, almost no tourists. Beaches or parks are more flexible; you can shoot almost any time there.
A few helpful articles in my blog:
I offer several packages. One hour usually covers most sessions. For more outfits or wider locations, 1.5 hours is better. Two hours is the most relaxed option with lots of advantages.
Detailed packages you can see here: Rates for photography services.
Candid family photos Family Livestyle Photo Sessions
Children grow up so fast. Every year brings new habits, expressions, and favorite toys. And you want to hold on to it. Not just in phone snapshots, but in real photos you'll look back on years later, with a smile and a bit of nostalgia.
Sure, everyone has hundreds of pictures on their phone. But there's something special about the ones you want to print, hang on the wall, gift to grandparents, or simply look through as a family. These are the images that become part of your family's story.
Where to do a shoot? Location ideas around Lisbon
I work with families in Lisbon, Cascais, Sintra, and across Portugal. I photograph birthdays, casual walks, celebrations, or just warm everyday moments. Each location brings its atmosphere. Lisbon gives us charming old streets, courtyards, scenic viewpoints, and historic architecture. And if you want a touch of nature, there are parks and gardens, which are great for sessions even on hot days. Just a short ride away, Cascais and Sintra offer sunsets, the ocean, sand and wind, magical forests, parks, and old castles. Message me and we'll choose a place that fits your family's vibe.
How does a family shoot go, especially with small children?
The shoot feels easy and natural. We walk, talk, stop in beautiful places, and play. I photograph both group portraits and personal moments: mom with her baby, dad with his daughter, siblings, grandparents with grandkids. We let kids be themselves – that's the secret to natural, honest photos. Some open up right away, some take their time, some run around laughing, or hide in a parent's arms.
I don't ask for forced poses or smiles. My job is to catch the rhythm of your family, tune in, and become a friend – even if just for a short while. Just to be present, and click at the right moment.
This is how real photos happen – with no stiffness, no tension. Just you, your emotions, and a warm story you'll want to keep.
