FAMILY DOCUMENTARY
What is a session like?
Sessions can be done in your home, or somewhere that you love to hang out with your family. There is no need to pose as sessions are very relaxed, stress-free and unscripted. You can slow down and just focus on being present together with your family. I will capture moments as they unfold naturally rather than manufacture them. No matching outfits or "smile for the camera!". Embracing the simple, raw, truthful moments that can't be repeated. Just you, as you are. I'll just be hanging out with you but with my camera.
"We had zero experience with any of this, but this was definitely the best thing for us and especially for me as I hate posing and am always the photographer. We are so very, very, very happy with the results...Thank you for capturing these priceless moments...you are truly amazing!"

01
DAY IN THE LIFE
Stop time for a moment to capture those moments that are unique to your family life, as it is now. The cuddles, the tears, meals, going to the park, cooking, visiting grandparents. Being you as you are in your daily life. Unscripted real life as it happens, as you enjoy doing things together as a family. The longer the session, the more time to connect and feel at ease, the more time there is to show your family story.
Pricing starts at €300 for 3 hours.
02
LIFE EVENT
Want to record a life event that is important to you and your family? It could be a birthday party, baptism or family celebration. Create a visual history of the emotion and connection felt on that day that you can look back on in the years to come. You can get on with enjoying the event, talking with friends and family, without worrying about taking photos.
Pricing starts at €200 for 2 hours.
03
VACATION LIFE
Travelling to Lisbon or another location for a holiday and want to capture all of those unique moments in this beautiful city? Tell the story of your adventures, unexpected moments and getting out of your normal routine.
Usually a family member is always on the other side of the camera. These sessions allow you to relax, get on with having fun with your family and leave the photos to me. You deserve to be in the frame too.
Pricing starts at €300 for 3 hours (travel costs outside of Lisbon are additional to the session fee).
"Melissa is a five star photographer. I usually become so tense when I look at the camera and this time I was really relaxed. Many times I even didn't notice her presence. When I saw the photos I couldn't believe it. She gave us a memory for a lifetime of the most beautiful and meaningful moments of that special day. So I have no doubt that I would recommend Melissa to my friends because she is also discreet and creative and the result was amazing."
