A glimpse into the kinds of stories I’m most drawn to — people in beautiful places, real connection, and the honest rhythm of a day unfolding.
Calm Direction
I'll give you enough guidance to look great without making the photographs feel stiff or overly posed
Beautiful Light
Years of working with both natural and artificial light let me create beautiful images in almost any environment..
A Relaxed Experience
From choosing a location to receiving your final gallery, I'll make the process clear and easy.
The best photographs happen when you stop thinking about the camera. My goal is to create a relaxed experience where you can simply enjoy the moment while I quietly document it. The result is photography that feels natural today and meaningful years from now.
ABOUT
I believe the best photographs happen when people feel comfortable enough to be themselves. Based in Florianópolis, I photograph entrepreneurs, weddings, families, portraits, and meaningful moments with a calm documentary approach. My role isn’t simply to create beautiful images—it’s to create an experience that feels relaxed from beginning to end.

A few practical notes so the session feels clear before we begin.
How far in advance should I book?
If your date is fixed — especially for weddings, events, or travel — earlier is better. For portraits, families, and vacation sessions, one to four weeks is often enough, depending on the season.
What happens if the weather changes?
We stay flexible. Island weather changes quickly, so I watch the forecast, the wind, and the light, then adjust timing or reschedule when needed.
Can you recommend locations?
Yes. I’ll suggest places based on the feeling you want, the time of day, privacy, accessibility, and how the light usually behaves there.
When will I receive the photos?
Most portrait, family, vacation, and corporate galleries are delivered within two to three weeks. Wedding and event timelines depend on coverage.
How does pricing work?
Pricing depends on the session type, time, location, and delivery needs. Send a note, and I’ll recommend the simplest option for what you’re planning.
