Hello, friend. Thanks for visiting my page.
Photographer in Lisbon
If you're here, it’s likely that my work speaks to you. My photography is a combination of lifestyle and classic styles, and I’d love to see if I'm the right match for the shoot of your dream. Choosing the right photographer will significantly influence your satisfaction with the final result.
What is important to me in working with you
I have a special and unique approach. To ensure we both feel amazed by the results of our collaboration, take a look at how I work.
My goal is to create a comfortable, relaxed atmosphere during the shoot. I want our time together during the photo session to be as enjoyable as possible for you.
You won't need to worry about how you look in the photos or how to pose - I'll take care of that, just trust me!
My photoshoots are stylish, and the photos look like pages from glossy magazine.
I’m a professional photographer in Lisbon, specializing in love stories and romantic photo sessions in Portugal.
My clients are couples who value genuine emotions and want to preserve the most meaningful moments of their relationship. Like me, they love to travel, and for them, photos are not just pictures but lasting memories.
As a photographer in Portugal, I help create warm, vibrant images filled with light and the unique atmosphere of the city.
I offer photo sessions in Lisbon’s most beautiful locations—from famous landmarks to hidden gems known only to locals. You can also enjoy a romantic photoshoot on the Atlantic coast.
A photoshoot in Lisbon is not just about professional pictures; it’s about feeling comfortable and natural in front of the camera. Even men who don’t usually like being photographed appreciate the ease and relaxed atmosphere of the shoot.
My photos are more than just images—they’re vivid memories to cherish for years to come.

What is included in each shooting package?
FAQ
Deposit
Certainly. Once we finalize the photoshoot date, I will provide you with my banking information for the deposit of 75 euros, which is non-refundable if you cancel the session within 5 days. The final payment should be done on a shooting day and can be made via bank transfer, Revolut/Wise or in cash.
What if I Don’t Know How to Pose?
My job as a photographer is to help you feel comfortable and natural during the shoot. We'll just chat, joke around, and simply enjoy the process. And don't worry, I can take on the role of a guide and suggest the best poses for beautiful photos. The most important thing is to just relax and trust the process.
What if there’s bad weather?
If the weather will be bad on the day of the shoot, we have a few options. We can change to another day with a better forecast. But in Portugal, there are usually 300 sunny days a year, so the chances of good weather are high. If rescheduling is not possible, we can choose covered or more sheltered locations that will be just as beautiful. I'm always ready to offer alternatives to ensure you're happy with the results.
Can we arrange a surprise proposal photoshoot?
Of course, I can organize a photoshoot with a surprise proposal! We can discuss all the details to ensure the moment is perfect and unforgettable. I will help you choose the right location and timing so that everything goes smoothly and beautifully.
Is professional makeup necessary for the photoshoot?
It's not necessary. Only if you wish. If you decide to have makeup and hairstyling done, I can recommend specialists I've been working with for years.
Can you keep the privacy of my pictures?
Absolutely. If you'd like to retain all the rights to the photos and prefer that I don't publish them, there is an additional fee of 15% on the selected package.
How do you deliver the images?
I deliver the images via individual online gallery. Email me and I’d be glad to send you an example.
Do you deliver the RAW files?
For me, providing a RAW files without editing is like giving out unfinished work. It's only half of my vision. When you hire me, I want it to be because you appreciate both my shooting style and my editing. However, if this is something you really want, you can buy them for 150 euros.
What should we wear for photos?
Together, we will determine the shooting concept and locations, and then discuss your outfits that will harmoniously complement the chosen locations.
What if I need to cancel or reschedule my Photoshoot?
I totally understand that life happens and sometimes you’ll need to reschedule or cancel your photo shoot. Out of respect for me and other customers, any changes to your session must be made by 5 days before to your session, I’ll make a full refund of the deposit or change date. If else the deposit is not refundable.
If you need to reschedule the shoot, please let me know at least in advance so we can find a date/time that works for both. The deposit will be transferred to a new date.
Do you do discounts?
I am a photographer with 10 years of experience, and my prices are fixed.
Choosing an experienced photographer ensures you get great photos and avoids wasting time and money. You deserve a photographer who meets all your needs, but I might not be the cheapest option.
I love working with people who appreciate real, lasting photos
What Does the Editing Include?
You'll get a online-gallery with the best photos edited in my unique style. This includes fixing colors, light, contrast, and any temporary skin issues like blemishes or acne.
If there's anything you're worried about, let me know so I can be careful when posing you.
All my photos are edited this way to make sure you look beautiful just as you are.
