I was born in Porto in 1996 and have lived in Braga since 2001. I hold a degree in Graphic Design and a postgraduate qualification in Digital Design, but it was in 2014, after completing a photography course, that I discovered my true passion.
To nurture that passion, I trained with inspiring photographers such as José Cruz, Andréia Garcia, Paloma Schell, David Silva (Two Colours), and the international Bel Ferreira, who helped me refine both my technique and sensitivity.

My heart found in motherhood, newborns, and children the real meaning of photography. So delicate and unpredictable, they remind me that beauty lies in the spontaneous — in what cannot be staged. It is in a curious glance, a shy smile, or a silent connection between parent and child that I uncover the essence of my work. Each session feels like a dive into time itself, where every detail is transformed into eternity and every image carries the purity of a unique story.

Photography, to me, is far more than an image. It is memory, history, eternity — fragments of life turned into art, worthy of being kept and cherished as true treasures.
In many sessions, I witness a family being born right before my eyes. Each one is a privilege, and I always leave a part of myself in everything I do. That is what makes me feel fulfilled as a professional and profoundly grateful to walk alongside so many families as they build their most precious memories.
