Questions & Answers

It all starts with a conversation. Reach out to me via the contact form or social media, and we'll chat or schedule a call to get to know each other. We'll discuss the vision, the concept, the mood, the location and all the details that make your session uniquely yours. Once we've aligned on everything, a deposit secures your date and we begin creating together.

Every session begins with an honest conversation. Before anything else, we get to know each other — I want to understand who you are, what you're feeling in this moment of your life, what excites you and what scares you. From there, the idea starts to take shape naturally.

Together we build the concept — the mood, the location, the light, the story we want to tell. I create a moodboard that captures the visual direction and we refine it until it feels completely right for you. Nothing is random. Every detail is intentional.

Styling, makeup and accessories are part of that same process. I'll guide you on what works for the concept we've built together — what to wear, how to show up, what to bring. If the project calls for a stylist or makeup artist, we'll discuss that as part of the preparation. My job is to orchestrate the full picture so that when you arrive on the day, all you have to do is be present.

That presence — that version of you that shows up when everything else is taken care of — is exactly what I'm here to capture.

Lisbon is my home base, but I regularly shoot in Cascais, Sintra and Costa da Caparica as well. If you have a specific location in mind outside of these areas — anywhere in continental Portugal or on the islands — I'll come to you. Travel expenses in those cases are covered by the client. If you have a dream location in mind, let's talk about it.

The deposit is 50% of the total agreed price for your session. It is paid upon booking and secures your date in my calendar. The remaining balance is due before we shoot. Payment can be made via bank transfer, Revolut or MBWay. The remaining balance is due before we shoot, preferably in cash.

The deposit is non-refundable. By the time you've booked, I've already invested my time, creative vision and energy into your project — our call, the concept development, the moodboard, the logistics. That work doesn't disappear with a cancellation.

That said, life happens. If you're unwell or we're facing extreme weather conditions, we can reschedule — as long as you give me at least 24 hours notice. I'm human and I understand, but I do ask for that courtesy.

No — RAWs are not part of any package. What you receive are fully edited images in high resolution, ready to print and share. The editing is an essential part of my work and how I see the image through to its final form.

No — the editing style and color grading are an integral part of my artistic vision and are not adjusted after the gallery is delivered. When you book with me, you're trusting my eye, and that includes how I process and tone the images. I recommend reviewing my portfolio before booking to make sure my aesthetic resonates with you.

I work with a natural, authentic approach — my goal is to show you as you are, beautifully. Minimal aesthetic retouching may be applied at my own discretion where I feel it serves the image. I don't offer heavy skin retouching, body reshaping, or digital alterations. If extensive retouching is something you're looking for, we may not be the right fit — and that's okay.
