I'm Giancarlo Fortuna, a family photographer in the Algarve. I work with families visiting Sagres, Lagos and the surrounding coast, keeping sessions relaxed, pressure-free, and built around how your family actually is.

Whether you're travelling with young children, a multigenerational group, or celebrating a new chapter with a maternity session, I'll handle timing, location and light. You just show up.

Sessions run across Praia da Marinha, Praia da Falésia, Lagos and the Sagres coastline — I'll recommend the right spot based on your kids' ages, the tides and the best light of the day.
