Family & Lifestyle Portraits

I Capture Your family's cherised moments with the same care and attention that I give to my own memories.


Capturing the essence of love and connection between people is what I strive for in every photo session. It's not just about taking pictures, it's about creating a comfortable and relaxed environment where you can be yourself and feel the love and joy of the moment.

I Capture Your family's cherised moments with the same care and attention that I give to my own memories

This season of life feels especially meaningful, as I’m currently expecting my first baby.

It has made me even more aware of how fleeting and beautiful these everyday moments truly are.

brazilian living the american dream

Originally from Brazil, I learned English from scratch when I moved to the US in 2016. As a people person, I love connecting with others, and I believe that's why photography is my true passion.

hobbies

When I’m not taking photos, I’m usually at home with my two cats or spending time with my husband, Juan. I’ve been sewing for our baby girl arriving in May 2026  and creating self-portraits during this special chapter.


I love being outdoors, going for walks, and dreaming about our next trip, we truly love to travel.

why my logo features a duck

The duck in my logo is a symbol of love and connection, and the importance of cherishing the special moments we have with our loved ones.

As a child, my father used to draw ducks for me. Those drawings became a treasured reminder of the love and connection we shared. When I moved to the US, his note with a duck drawing was the only thing I brought with me, and it became even more precious after he passed away.


That note was a reminder of my father's influence on my life and my passion for capturing the love and connection between families. It led me to pursue my dream of becoming a family photographer, so I could help others capture the memories and moments that matter most.
