In-Home Lifestyle Family Photoshoot in Singapore
Newborn Photoshoot in Singapore
A walk at the Botanical Gardens in Singapore
And after 4 years abroad, in South Africa and New York, I’m back “home”—where everything started!
So thrilled to meet this lovely family, Kate and Ben, and capture such precious moment at the Botanical Gardens, in Singapore! Family Photography is my passion and no matter how chaotic is to make 3 little pumpkins to look at the camera and smile for a second, I just have fun as much as they do!
That’s the core of my work: spontaneous as much as possible! A family photo shoot is always a surprise—will depend of the mood of the kids, wether they will feel comfortable with you or not—but the most important item is patience! Just join them into the fun and make memorable images!
When the portrait is real
For this testimonial, there’s no words enough to describe my feelings about this session. Forgive me, my English can’t fill these lines, so my heart will sing in Portuguese!
Os conheci quando minha vida estava do avesso. Vivendo uma vida sem chiclete—meu antigo blog contava um pouquinho sobre a loucura que foi ao me mudar para Cingapura em 2013—eles surgiram como um bálsamo para uma alma perdida em saudades do Brasil. Eles se tornaram parte de mim, do meu coração. Se tornaram meu Brasil. Minha família, meus amigos. Minha inspiração. Não tinha cerimônia—”chega aí para tomarmos um cervejinha”. E a noite ia embora entre gargalhadas e planos, sonhos.
Eles me ensinaram a ser leve. A me expandir, me descobrir. Me ensinaram a explorar—quem diria um dia eu viajaria de mochilão para Sri Lanka! Me ensinaram que a vida pode ser simples—é o amor que alimenta. Somos nós quem construimos nosso caminho—e como caminhamos, é nossa decisão. Eles sempre foram minha inspiração—com eles, comecei a ver beleza na imperfeição.
Me ensinaram que a vida não tem graça se ensaiada. E fui treinando meu olhar para a simplicidade—a beleza não está no retrato perfeito, mas no sorriso que arrebentou meu coração naquele momento do clique. A beleza de verdade, não tem filtro. Mas o amor fica alí, preso naquele instante—e ecoa no peito. Em cada retrato tem um pedadinho de mim—e os deixo aqui, para que me relembrem das coisas boas da vida quanto a tarde estiver um pouco cinza…
Family photos in Sao Paulo, Brazil
After over 6 years living abroad, photographing these marvellous people in Brazil made me emotional! We’ve met while living in Singapore, a fews years back. We became friends—family, actually. When they moved back to Brazil, Manuela was a few months pregnant of their first girl!
The hardest part of living abroad is exactly this: not being part of your family and friends’ routine. FaceTime is not the same as a hug, a long lunch making small talk or a bottle of wine mixed with laughs, confessions, people that you love! You are constantly split between longing and excitement.
It was amazing seeing this family growing and I’ve no words to say how grateful I am for this photoshoot! Thank you, Manu and Joao! Love you all! xx
