Last week was super crazy, but I cannot feel more grateful to have such amazing clients! One of last week´s shoots started with the sunrise. I must admit that I really loved the experience (again) of shooting with silence, beautiful light and in empty streets! It's a kind of magic moment. We are super fresh and everything around us is still so quiet. I took some photos of my beautiful Lisbon (yes, again, I never get tired of it!) too. Let yourself inspire by #lisbonlight!

Much love,

Hello lovelies! So happy with this week´s topics! I´m so excited to announce a very special project we've been working for the past months! Summer is here and we almost didn´t get it! Times flies, lots of work to do around here and the last wedding details to finish. Friday tips will be on vacation until October, hope you understand and I promise to come back with more inspiring tips! BUT, you can always travel with me in my instagram! Instagram is my favorite and I love to share my daily life and adventures there, so come along! 

BACKSTAGE: yes, this is our new baby! So proud to be part of this project!I will let you Dina´s words, she wrote the perfect description.

Van Life: I was reading AGLOW magazine a few days ago and I came across with a super cool couple leaving the life of their dreams!! They´re both photographers and their home is a sprinter van! How cool is this? I loved their interview and immediately started following their Instagram full of inspiring images and stories! So my suggestion for some adventurous and Summer vibes is to follow these two! And if you have the opportunity to read the magazine I´m sure you´ll love it, and this issue is free to download! (yeah!!)

7 apps to help boost your mental health: we live so obsessed with social media, phones, emails and the internet world in general that we forget to have some "me time" to relax and forget about everything that causes us stresses even for 5 minutes! I found this article in HUB Collective and I´ll be trying some apps in the near future because I really think this is a very important issue, we must disconnect for our mental health, I super agree with this. Of course, it is better to take some days off, far away from our routines, but once it is not possible on a daily basis maybe some of these apps can work and help us! Did anyone try?

Much love,

Hello! I´m so happy that I finally got some time to select my favorite photos from these two lovers. We had an amazing time together around Lisbon streets. Paula and Brandon are just too sweet, it was so easy to shoot them. They are a happy and super in love couple and once more they´re not afraid of showing their love. My people. I love so much shooting raw love. It makes me feel alive and believe in real love stories. Everything is possible when a couple follows their own beliefs and survive to other voices or opinions. People may tend to give opinions about your relationship especially families but you should always focus on each other and come to our own values and way. This is the only recipe that really matters. Everything around you is just noise. 

I´ll leave you with tons of love. 

Shooting for Localgrapher.

Much love,

Hello lovelies! I hope your week had been amazing, with a lot of focus and positive thinking! Summer time is the high season of the year for us photographers but I still make sure to have time for my little projects and I have a big one launching this month, so stay tuned! I love to work with creative people from others areas ❤ Big thanks to my sweet D. that had an amazing idea and come to get all of us together!

Let´s start our tips!

Facebook Adds: Yes, this is a very important tool for people who run online businesses. Starting a facebook add is very intuitive, you learn how to do it in less than a minute. BUT, this is not enough. We must understand how it really works and the best way to invest our money. I´ve been searching for some advice on youtube and come across with two videos that I liked. They are simple and objective. They´ll guide you to do a better and profitable add. We want real buyers and not only occasional visitors. Once more, you can be yourself doing this, nothing wrong with paying to help your business grow. You can see the videos here and here.

Focusing on your niche: Well, I started my journey a few months ago. I´ve been knowing what I most love to shoot for one or two years, but I never act on social media to communicate this. I was told to share things that would sell for sure, things that are not my focus or big passion. But, I didn´t feel ok to have this kind of obligation, like I have to post a pregnancy photo, or a baptism photo...because they would sell without any doubt. And maybe they did. I have my portfolio with a family gallery and for me, this is enough (by now). I started my business shooting families and I´ve been with them for years and I still want to be because we are already connected by their stories. But, my vision changed in the last years and I have now a different Ideal client. The one I want to work now and in the future. So I started to share what I really want to do. What I most love. Am I receiving fewer emails for pregnancy or family shoots? Yes, I am. Am I scared? I´ve been, but I´m not anymore. Things take the time to change, so I just need to be patient about this transformation until I can only work with my ideal client. And you too 😊  

Roadtrip Soundtrack: To finalize and relax a little bit, if you´re going on vacation or just want to pretend to (like me 😜 ), Collective Hub has the perfect playlist for your adventure! Check it here.

Much love,

Sometimes I got stuck on my own feelings and thoughts. In fact, I have a passion for feelings. I´m a very emotional person and I spend hours and hours thinking about life. How our future is going to be. Especially mine as a photographer. If I´m doing things in the right way. But, to be true there is no right or wrong. I also think if I´m in the right place. I love my country but I have the feeling that I should try something abroad. Live with new cultures, meet different people. I´m not only talking about traveling, I want to have a real experience of living in another country. I need that feeling of adventure. Not knowing the safe side. Do you know what I mean? 

Would I be happy?

I´m so close to my family but at the same time, I´m tired of the routine. The same places, the same culture. In need of a detox. 

Feeling lost gets me tired. Yes, I try to be positive and active but there are days that I get lost in my own procrastination. 

Do you ever feel that everything takes so much work that you immediately give up? Even preparing a beautiful spot to shoot your morning coffee? Sometimes it´s just the way it is. I don´t want to do anything at all. I have so many projects on my mind and need to get organized. Like NOW.

I perfectly know who I want to be, with who I want to work. This is not enough. I must meet my ideal client with no error. I´m still working on this. I never thought how much my words could define everything, not just my photos. 

Anyone having the same issues?

I´m not a writing person. I used to be when I was a child and had a diary. I´m coming back to this slowly. Talking about my feelings let me a little bit insecure. I´m getting used to it now. 

Makes me feel better and maybe I can help someone who´s feeling the same way.  No shame about my feelings. They are what they are.
