I headed south!
The twins completed their first lap around the sun and, in the current scenario, the idea of having a party for no one when I had made a thousand plans to celebrate their first birthday with a big party started to seem too sad.

So I headed south!
I wanted a cozy and beautiful place, where we felt at home.

INFLUENCER... BUT NOT SO MUCH!

INFLUENCER... BUT NOT SO MUCH!

It must be the hottest "profession" of the moment, and it's no surprise when someone asks what someone else does to hear "I'm a blogger" or "I'm an instagrammer" or "I'm an influencer”.

My month. My day.

A day to pause. To enjoy. To inspire so that I can be back on track with new eyes.
I doubt that I can go to sleep without seeing and answering all the emails, it's stronger than me. Good stories can't wait. Although mine is so often suspended in the written pages of yours.

Lisbon is trendy!
The number of people on the streets has increased with all its positive and negative things.
But still, it's an incredible city.

The colorful houses that stretch down to the river, its seven hills giving space to the best views of the city spread by "miradouros" and "varandas", the food, the people.
And what better place to photograph and be photographed?

THREE GOOD REASONS TO WAKE UP EARLY TO DO A PHOTO SHOOT

THREE GOOD REASONS TO WAKE UP EARLY TO DO A PHOTO SHOOT

We know that not everyone are a morning person.
Especially when you are on vacation.
But we also know that early waking allows us to live the spaces and the city in a completely unique and special way.
Feeling the city wake up for another day of life and see the sunrise is a privilege that many people don't do every day or have never done and it warms our hearts to know that some couples we photographed have seen their first sunrise together, with us.
