The French only wear black. Like, EVERY SINGLE DAY.
The first day I wore pink out in public, people would stare. It took me about half a day to realize why.
So I’ve adapted.

Tuesday, February 21st, 2012Spotted: My Sister’s Sweet Visit (Film Edition)
Tuesday, January 17th, 2012Meet Sheila, my big sister (big in a sense of older, not pregnant, sis!)
She taught me everything I really needed to know. And she was only in 5th grade at the time.
True story.
Today we found out that my little niece is actually a nephew, and I could not be more pleased. I get to try spoiling a whole new gender! Oh the possibilities! Of course, I will have to step up my game and learn a few cool dude tricks, but he’s worth it.
The spot of coolest aunt around will still be mine. So buckle up all you aunts out there, cuz I’m in it to win it!
Spotted: Murval’s Spring-Summer 2012 (Film Edition)
Monday, January 2nd, 2012Two weeks ago I got to escape to Miami and put my gloomy winter on hold. Murval Paris (a very dear client of mine) have launched their Spring-Summer 2012 collection, and I had the honor of checking every piece out, and shooting them- of course.
This is the film edition.
Summer, please?

Spotted: My Sister About to POP! (Film Edition)
Tuesday, December 13th, 2011I hope she makes a grand entrance into this world.
I hope she is healthy and strong.
I hope she is just as beautiful as her mom. And just as kind as her dad.
I hope she’s not afraid of trying new things.
I hope she dances, laughs, and sings.
I hope she dreams big things, and I wish her no big fall.
I hope she gets here soon,
I hope to see it all.
Bruna Souza- 38 weeks
I’ve done her maternity pictures a few months ago already, but she just look so much different that it wouldn’t be fair to miss it. In fact, she looks even prettier now with her belly about to pop. I just hope it doesn’t pop this week- I’ve got finals, darling! These are all film, of course.

Anyone getting married/eloping/honeymooning in Paris?
Monday, December 5th, 2011In 1 1/2 months, I’ll be in Paris. I’ll eat, breath and sleep BEAUTY.
In fact, I’m so certain that I will be bombarded with pretty things that I am tempted to order 500 rolls of film straight from the manufacturer.
One thing saddens me, however. I’ll have no wedding related gig while there. I decided to do this crazy Paris thing just recently, leaving me no time to search for peeps over there.
I can’t think of something as wasteful as that, can you?
I mean, sure, I’ll do plenty of editorial and personal shoots. But imagine if I could shoot a wedding?
So if you’re reading this, and by some miracle you will be getting married/eloping/honeymooning/getting engaged in Paris between January and April, DO HIT ME UP.

Spotted: Family, Macaroons, and Peonies.
Tuesday, November 29th, 2011Three little luxuries I can’t live without.
Thanksgiving is only thanksgiving if spent in Miami with the in-laws. It’s a tradition I hope to always keep. Our week was filled with good pastry, bike rides at the marina, and picking on my mother and father-in law.
Now, I just have to endure two weeks of school and finals… and it’s OVER!! My family is flying in from Brazil, I have one freaking entire month of vacations, and then I’m off to Paris. Oh yeah.
XOXO

Christmas Charity Shoot!
Monday, November 14th, 2011It’s that time of the year, peeps! Time to go all out with the golds and the silvers, reds and greens. Time to cozy up by the fireplace and drink all thinks coco, apple, and cinnamon.
It’s also that time of the year to send greeting cards!! AND that time of the year when, you know, you’re just EXTRA nice.
I decided to put all these good things together and launch my very own CHRISTMAS CHARITY SHOOT!
I will be scheduling mini family sessions for a few weeks, for only $100. Yes, you heard me. And ALL OF IT will go to an organization, or person in need- I’m still looking for a very special one. Again, absolutely every penny!
SO TELL YOUR FAMILY! TELL YOUR FRIENDS! I’m capping this at 20 sessions due to some time concerns (Boo!) – hurry up!
To view an example of a family session (since I don’t post these here): The Leão’s Family Shoot
Don’t you just love the holidays?
