Sorrento Family Photo Shoot

Taking family pictures in Sorrento!

Cloister of San Francesco

We started this photography session at Chiostro di San Francesco which is a perfect place to begin the photography session. With nice smooth end of day light shining through from the side arches. Giving us the possibility to take some nice family photoshoot portrait pictures and to also break up into smaller group photos. Then we made our way into the Villa Comunale. Taking pictures on the terrace overlooking the coast and town. As well as the city of Naples in the far distance in front of Mount Vesuvius.

Beach photoshoot

Then we began our descend down to the beach level. A winding down hill passageway which offers nice portrait pictures opportunity of the town and the sea. Shooting both against and with the sunlight. Obtaining some nice summery feel family photos. Once we reached the beach level, we took some nice pictures by the water side. Finding in the cabin rows a nice colorful geometrical effect for portraits. Then together with the Amalfi coast photographer, we moved over to the other side of the pier. To find an isolated view of the sea and the vertical town.

Grand Hotel Royal

We then took the elevator up to the town level. And walked to the Grand Hotel Royal which has a beautiful array of flowers and greenery. As well as an incredible terrace view over the Mediterranean sea and the coast. This was a great location for a final set of nice portraits!
