Cinematic photo stories at the edge of the Earth — Lisbon & Portugal
5.0(17 reviews)Lisbon Region · Porto & North · Algarve
I'm Maria, a professional photographer based in Lisbon with 12 years of experience. My photos look like frames from a beautiful film, but there are no actors, only real people and genuine emotions. I specialise in love stories, portraits, family sessions and vacation photoshoots across Lisbon, Sintra and Cascais. My mission is simple: to help you see yourself in a way you never have before, and preserve what truly matters. Portugal's light, cobblestone streets and Atlantic coastline are my studio. Whether you are a couple celebrating your love, a solo traveller exploring Europe, or a family creating memories together, I will make sure you leave with photos you will treasure forever.
Thank you so much for the pictures Maria — we love them! They came out great. Also, apologies for the bad driving 😂
Thank you, Maria, for an amazing atmosphere, your support during the process, and so many incredible photos! I love all of them!

Maria, dear! All the photos are stunning! How do you manage to capture the essence of things? I'm so glad we didn't get scared off by the rain and went ahead with the shoot — thank you so much! It was so easy being with you, because I really can't pose, and you give support, mood, and the whole thing just worked out beautifully.

Maria, I don't think you fully realise how amazing you are! I've seen the work of many photographers, but every single one of yours is a masterpiece that can't be repeated. Your vision of a frame and your ability to catch emotion in the moment is real, uncorrupted talent — not something given to everyone. I'm so glad I met you on my path! You made a long-standing dream of mine come true. I wish all your dreams come true in the most magical way!

Thank you so much 😍😍😍 Really, the atmosphere of the shoot was super. Masha, you are an incredible professional — everyone had a great time, and even the people who normally don't enjoy this kind of thing told me they loved it 🤣🤣
