A Deep Dive into the Experience

This experience unfolds over roughly 2.5 hours, starting in the heart of Lucerne at a cozy, character-filled café. The idea is simple but effective: begin with a warm drink — coffee or tea — and use this time to relax and get to know the photographer, Larissa Isis, a Brazilian living in Switzerland. Her friendly approach helps break the ice, turning what could be an awkward photo session into a genuine conversation.
This initial coffee break is more than just a warm-up; it’s where your natural smile begins to shine, captured in informal shots that feel truly you. You’ll love the way Larissa encourages relaxed, authentic expressions, steering clear of stiff poses. One reviewer noted, “The photos look like they could have been taken by a close friend, not a stranger,” which is exactly the vibe you want from lifestyle photography.
Once you’re comfortable, the walk to the Old Town begins. Expect a 10-minute stroll through charming, cobblestone streets filled with colorful facades and historical charm. The route includes several iconic locations like Chapel Bridge, with its medieval wooden structure and tower, a favorite for its fairy-tale ambiance. Larissa will help you find the best angles and moments, balancing guided poses with spontaneous, candid shots of you exploring.
Then, you’ll head toward Lake Lucerne, where the water’s clarity and mountain views provide a stunning backdrop. Depending on the timing and light conditions, the photographer might also take you to hidden corners that most visitors miss — perfect for those special, intimate photos that tell a story.
Throughout this walk, Larissa shares insights and stories about the city, making it a more immersive experience. Unlike rigid photo tours, this feels more like sharing a friendly afternoon with someone who knows Lucerne inside-out, blending sightseeing with storytelling.
