All my life, I’ve grown up looking through photos. After immigrating to the United States as a child, photographs were one of the few tangible ways I felt connected to family that remained back home in Brazil. I love how each photo tells a story, and I've always sought to tell the story of my family—and our life together—through images.
That's how I realized how important photography is, and moreover, how a photographer can play such a big role in telling your story. With photography, I've found a way to bottle the emotions and love I don't have words for—I can say everything I want to through the photos I take.
Whenever I pick up my camera, I do so with the intention of helping clients tell the story of their family—and love—through elevated, considered and heartfelt images. It would be my honor to help you do the same.
I'm so happy
You're here
the power of love
I've been lucky enough to experience for myself the transformative power of love—first with my husband, and now with our two girls, Mila and Laura. I consider myself blessed in an infinite number of ways, beginning and ending with the love from my family.
To me, love is something to be celebrated, valued and captured—and I treasure the opportunity to do just that any chance I get. Capturing the love of my little family through photos has brought me so much joy—they were my first subjects and remain my source of inspiration to this day. I love knowing that I'm cementing important memories for us for years to come, and I look forward to doing the same for you and your loved ones.
THE HEART BEHIND WHAT I DO
Ours to Keep
Your prints arrive at your door before your online gallery does, so the first time you see your photos is something you can hold in your hands. I edit every image, back up every file twice, and have never missed my delivery deadline in eight years.
Yours to Live
We talk through your timeline, your people, and what matters most before I ever arrive, and I come prepared so the day can move forward with ease. This is your celebration, and I want you to be present for every bit of it, exactly as you imagined.
Integrity In Every Detail
Integrity means your wedding deserves the same care on the last image as it did on the first. I show up ready to be present, making space for each moment of the day, and give every photograph that same attention, because you'll be looking at these images for the rest of your life.
Empathy With Precision
I can feel the temperature of a room the moment I walk in, noticing what you need before you have to ask. That attentiveness is what keeps your wedding day steady, even when everything around it is moving fast.
I've had the pleasure of meeting so many wonderful families through my work, so I thought it only right to introduce you to mine. Say hello to my crazy (adorable, energetic, loving, irreplaceable) crew.
