I remember one autumn afternoon, when I was at my mother’s house organizing some old things. I found a box of photos that had been stored for years, full of black and white images, some slightly faded by time. Like a child, I started taking them out one by one, and as I did, something unexpected happened. I came across a photo of my father, still young, smiling at a family party. He was with my grandparents, my uncles, all gathered around a table, and the image captured the essence of that joy, so pure, so full of life.

There’s something incredibly special about the early moments of a newborn's life. Their tiny features, their soft skin, and the bond they share with their family are all fleeting but precious.

I’m thrilled to announce a special giveaway on Instagram to celebrate the art of storytelling photography. I’m not just giving away a free eBook—I’m creating an opportunity for us to connect, grow, and share our love for this powerful genre of photography.

Photography is painting with light. Every photograph is shaped by how light falls on a subject, creating shadows, highlights, and textures that add depth and emotion. As a documentary and storytelling photographer, I’ve learned that understanding light is one of the most powerful ways to elevate an image from ordinary to extraordinary.

In this post, we’ll explore how light influences photography, the difference between natural and artificial light, and how you can use it to enhance your storytelling.

Picture this: your little one, just a few days old, snugly wrapped in a blanket, yawning in the most adorable way imaginable. You look at them and think, "How can I possibly freeze this moment forever?" Well, that’s where I come in — with my camera and a deep love for capturing life's tender beginnings.

But first, let me tell you a secret. This giveaway? It’s more than just a marketing strategy. It’s personal. It’s my way of giving back, of saying thank you to all the families who trust me to document their journey. And, honestly, it’s also my chance to make someone’s dream of timeless family photos come true without the pressure of finances or logistics.

Childhood trauma often leaves a lasting imprint on our lives. For me, these imprints were like invisible threads woven into the fabric of who I am, shaping my interactions, relationships, and worldview. However, as I grew and found solace in creative outlets, I began to see those threads not as limitations but as opportunities for healing. My journey as a family documentary photographer has been one of the most transformative aspects of that healing process.

As a photographer, I had the privilege of documenting Joyce and Edson in a morning of their life, as they navigate the joys of parenthood, home renovation, and the unconditional love shared between a growing family and their beloved pets.

Family documentary photography goes far beyond simply capturing images; it encapsulates precious and ephemeral moments that tell the story of a family over time.

Probably the most personal post I had written here. For research for a project, I went to see my old family photo archive. Photos I took of our family. I was in the early stages of improving my photography..
