Hi! I'm Mónica, a documentary photographer based in Cascais, Portugal, and the heart behind Canto da Objectiva. My photography isn't about perfect poses or staged scenes - it's about real life, real emotions, and real connections. I work in a documentary/photo-reportage style, capturing the moments as they naturally unfold: the laughter, the quiet glances, the little details that make your story uniquely yours. I specialize in maternity, family, newborn and couples. Working mainly outdoors. My main areas are Lisbon, Sintra, and Cascais. What drives me isn't creating images that look good on a social media feed - it's creating memories that matter. Photographs that you'll treasure years from now, that remind you not just how things looked, but how they felt. If you're looking for authentic, emotional photography that captures the essence of who you are - let's create something beautiful together!
