If I love to cook why not capture the beauty of it?As a native of Portugal, a country filled with passionate people, exotic colors and incredible images, I found an early and easy fascination in the field of photography. From a young age, I worked in my family's Portuguese pottery factory and later started my own business as a buying agent for several markets including Scandinavia and the United States. After honing my skills as a businesswoman specializing in beautiful house wares and home décor, I decided to follow my heart to America in pursuit of a formal education in the field of photography. The culmination of all these life experiences has resulted in a unique ability to capture and relate lifestyle stories using my skills as a photographer and my passion for life.It is my dream to combine lifestyle photography, specializing in food and culinary portraiture, with my eternal quest to convey the very essence of life, that magic that transforms one-dimensional images into living stories. I invite you to browse through my portfolio and experience the ‘pulse' of my photography.
