Melissa

beach maternity shoot

I’ve known Melissa for over 20 years now and so it feels wrong to call her my friend, she’s more like a sister to me. Because of this this shoot was super special to us both.

It was completely spontaneous. We were chatting on the phone the night before & I said “let’s get up at 5am tomorrow & go shoot on the beach”. Mel being the awesome human that she is is always down to be creative with me and so the next morning we were on the beach as the sun started to rise. It was such a relaxed morning, filled with lots of laughter & quality time. The dramatic waves and soft morning light made for the most beautiful setting. I will always remember & cherish this day.

I love being a photographer in Cascais, it really is one of the most beautiful places on earth.
