“ Ana Lucia was excellent! Not only was she was so helpful before the shoot took place by answering all of my questions, but she was great on the day of the shoot as well. She had lots of helpful suggestions and was so kind to my two young boys. Our photos came out great and I would definitely recommend her! ”
“ Saying Ana is 5 out of 5 stars just isn't enough to encompass how amazing she is at what she does! From the moment I chose her to be our photographer she was extremely helpful and responsive. She made a stressful process tremendously easy, from helping to choose the perfect location to answering all my questions leading up to the big day. She was a huge reason for why the day went so smoothly. HER PICTURES ARE PERFECT! She captured the day just as I had dreamed she would for my fiance. She also gave the perfect amount of guidance during the photoshoot to make things feel very natural. I couldn't recommend her enough for your photoshoot! ”
“ We had the most wonderful experience with Ana for our sunrise family session in Sintra. Our toddler was having a bit of a hard morning and was pretty upset at times, but Ana was so patient, calm, and understanding throughout the entire shoot. She truly worked around his emotions and still managed to capture the most beautiful, natural photos of our family. The photos turned out absolutely stunning and feel so special to us. She also delivered our gallery incredibly quickly, which was such a lovely surprise while travelling. We’re so grateful to have these memories from our time in Portugal and would recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer in Sintra 🤍 ”
“ We hired Claudia for a family portrait session in Sintra, and I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about the experience. Our group of seven — two grandparents, two parents, and three kids ages 5, 7, and 9 — could have been a logistical nightmare, but she made it feel completely effortless and fun. What impressed me most was how naturally she connected with the children. Getting three young kids to cooperate for photos is no small feat, but she had them laughing and engaged the entire time. My son, who almost never wants to be in front of a camera, actually participated willingly — something I honestly didn't think was possible. That alone tells you everything about her patience and her gift with kids. She was warm, joyful, and genuinely a pleasure to spend time with. She welcomed our suggestions and ideas, which made the whole session feel collaborative rather than stiff or forced. The backdrop of Sintra gave us so much to work with, and she made the most of every bit of it. When the photos arrived, I cried. She captured moments of pure, unscripted joy that I will treasure for the rest of my life. These aren't just nice pictures — they are memories frozen in time, and she is the reason they exist. If you are even remotely considering booking her, do it. You will not regret it. ”
“ Ana was amazing! The photos are gorgeous and she made the shoot itself so much fun! Excellent communication throughout the entire process as well. ”
“ She was lovely to work with and flexible with the timing and locations. We had a few specific shots we wanted and she was happy to accommodate. She made all of us at ease, even the kids, so the shoot went so smoothly. I would and have recommended her already! ”
“ Ana did an amazing job with our photos. She made it such a fun experience and we couldn’t have been happier with how it turned out. ”
“ Ana is the perfect photographer and has the perfect personality for a surprise photo shoot like ours. She was very communicative the day of with location and where I should be during the proposal. Also, we heavily discussed the location of this shoot beforehand. At first, I had an ambitious idea that would not have worked at all. Ana gave me all the advice to make a great photo shoot (lighting, time of day, crowdedness), and it worked out so well. I wouldn’t have wanted to do it any other way. She was also very friendly and open during our photo shoot time, and she made us both feel very comfortable having met us in person for the first time. If I could propose again, I’d hire her again! ”
“ It couldn’t have been anyone other than Claudia! She played the roll of helpful tourist and we surprised my partner perfectly! Claudia was amazing to work with from preplanning, to messaging back and forth to make sure we timed it right the day of and then to capture the whole shoot. Beyond the photography we both loved her as a person and were so glad she was the person to share the moment with us. Thank you so much for being a big part of a special moment <3 ”

“ We had such a great memorable experience courtesy of Ana! She made us both feel comfortable to capture our best selves. Ana's expertise with the location and in her art was evident in the purposefulness of our shoot. Ana was great communicating and organizing in the lead up to the shoot. I'm very thankful for the suggestions she had provided. I'd recommend for anyone to book with Ana. ”
“ Jessica was such a good photographer! We absolutely love the pictures that she took of our special trip, and appreciate how comfortable she made us throughout the entire process! We don't take a lot of professional photos, so we were all a little apprehensive, and Jessica did a great job helping us come out of our shells and feel natural while being photographed! ”
“ Ronise was amazing! She was very easy to communicate with and walked me through every step to ensure the perfect proposal. I would recommend her to anyone. We were also very pleased with the pictures and thought she did such a great job picking different scenery’s and different poses. 10/10 ”
“ Jessica was a great photographer. It took about a month to plan the location of the proposal, photo shoot, and a lot of back and forth. She was patient, communicative, and even suggested multiple different spots as considerations. The final day of photography she was open to our suggestions as well as combining her photography expertise. Finally, the photographs were truly, and I'm not joking, breathtaking. They exceeded expectations in every single way I could imagine. Would definitely recommend anyone to book with her if they're booking Sintra, Portugal area. ”
“ Thanks so much for capturing our large family while on vacation in Colares, Claudia! We are so in love with all of the photos! Claudia was wonderful to work with. She arrived perfectly on-time, even with having to travel a pretty long distance to get to us. We had 3 young kids as part of our group of 15, and she was very flexible to work with all of us and capture wonderful memories for us. I definitely recommend booking with Claudia! ”

“ Amazing! These are BY FAR the best family photos we've ever taken! Every photo was better than the next. There isn't a favorite because they're all so good!!! Ana Lucia was amazing to work with. So good with the kids, and just wonderful to explore the Monserrat Palace grounds with! I cannot recommend Ana Lucia enough! ”
“ I wish I could leave MORE stars on my review for Claudia! I was blown away by the pictures she took. The entire time we were shooting, she was bubbly, energetic, pleasant, and an overall delight. I thought I was with my long time friend. Claudia has an impeccable eye for locations and gives great directions. She wants to go all out for her client and makes sure that you are satisfied. I came into this shoot with a vision, and she made it EVEN BETTER. ”

My Fiance and I are thrilled with the photos and would book a session with Claudia again in a heartbeat if we ever find ourselves back in Portugal! If you are thinking of booking with Claudia, DO IT!
