FAQ
Clear answers, before we meet
Here you will find the questions I am asked most often about portrait, couple, maternity and family photoshoots in Tenerife: prices, booking, locations, the best time of day, what happens if the weather changes and how you receive your photos. If your question is not here, write to me: I answer personally.
Booking & prices
How much does a photoshoot in Tenerife cost?
Personal portraits start at 150€ (45 minutes, 15 photos). Couples, maternity and poetic sessions start at 200€, and family sessions are 200€, with a tailored quote for large or extended families. Editorial projects are quoted individually. See all details on Services and pricing.
How do I book?
Send me an email at portraits@lucillabellini.net or a WhatsApp message at +34 669 458 594, telling me a little about you and the photos you dream of. We choose a date together, then you pay a deposit and sign a simple contract to secure it.
Can I add a video?
Yes: a mini video of about one minute costs 80€ and can be added to Personal, Couples and Maternity sessions.
Which languages do you speak?
I speak English, Italian, Spanish and French, so we can plan and shoot in the language you feel most comfortable with.
Locations & timing
Where do you shoot?
I am based in the south of Tenerife and work across the whole island: favourite places include Costa Adeje, El Médano, La Tejita, Los Cristianos, Playa de las Américas and Costa del Silencio. I also photograph in Lanzarote and, on request, on the other Canary Islands. Discover more in my locations guide.
How is the location chosen?
After our first conversation I suggest a few locations that suit your story, the light and where you are staying. Beaches, volcanic landscapes, mountains, forests or a walk through town: we choose together.
What is the best time of day for a photoshoot?
Sunrise or sunset, when the light is soft and warm. Sunrise is quieter and cooler; sunset has golden tones but busier beaches. I always try to fit your holiday schedule.
What if the weather is bad?
If strong wind, rain or calima make the session impossible, we move it to another day of your stay at no extra cost. I let you know 24–48 hours in advance.
The session
What should I wear?
Bring one or two comfortable outfits for a 45-minute session, two or three for longer sessions, in soft, earthy or neutral tones, with light fabrics that move in the wind, like linen or cotton. Avoid neon colours and large bold prints. Once we define the concept I send you a mood board. For maternity sessions you can also choose a dress from my client wardrobe. Read the full guide in Planning your shoot.
I feel awkward in front of the camera. Is that a problem?
Not at all: most people do at first. I guide you gently with simple movements and moments rather than stiff poses, so the photos feel natural.
Can I have hair and make-up done?
Yes: I work with a trusted make-up artist and hairstylist. Ask me when you book and I will put you in direct contact; they will quote their price for your date.
Do you shoot in natural light?
Always. My sessions take place outdoors in natural light, letting wind, water and sand become part of the image.
Photos & delivery
How and when do I get my photos?
You receive your edited, high-resolution images in a private online gallery within 7–10 working days.
How many photos will I receive?
A Personal session includes 15 edited photos. Couples, Maternity, Family and Poetic sessions include 25 edited photos at the base rate. Every service page lists what is included.
Can I order prints or a photo book?
Yes: after delivery I can send you an offer for fine art prints and photo books.
Still have a question?
Tell me your dates and the kind of photos you dream of, and I’ll reply personally.
