capturing family stories with soul in London, Surrey, Richmond & Wimbledon.
I’m Fernanda, a Brazilian heart in the English countryside
From Brazil to Surrey, from first falling in love with my husband to starting a family together. It’s woven into who I am, and it’s never felt like a job. I’m endlessly grateful to be able to do this full-time, working with families, capturing your stories, and walking along the path I was always meant to take.

Photography has been a constant thread running through my life
I built this little life that is so fulfilling, and found my way back to photography.
Even though I’ve loved photography for as long as I can remember, life first carried me in a completely different direction. I studied law in Brazil, followed the career path laid out for me, and worked in the legal world until 2023 (I haven’t completely left those roots behind, though; true crime podcasts still keep me company while I edit!).
In the ten years since moving to the UK to build a life with my husband, so much has changed. I traded courtrooms for creativity, became a mother to my daughter, Bella, adopted a very lovable Frenchie, and built a life that feels softer, slower, and more me. These days, my happiest moments are simple ones: seeing the sunrises and sunsets, the smell of freshly baked bread, movie nights under blankets, and weekends spent exploring the English countryside with my family.
MORE ABOUT ME
I’m at my happiest at home with my family or out for long walks in the Surrey countryside. While I live just a stone's throw from the bustle of London, I much prefer the calm of local life. I used to be all about summer days, but lately, I’ve found a new appreciation for chilly nights spent snuggled under blankets with my loved ones. When I’m not behind the lens, you’ll find me listening to rock music or getting lost in a good drama. I didn't get my first tattoo until I was 39, but I’ve certainly made up for lost time—I’m currently at seven and counting!

A LITTLE ABOUT MY APPROACH TO YOUR PHOTOGRAPGHS
I’m a homebody at heart. I live for a warm coffee in the morning, hot showers, and eating far too much Italian food with my family. Comfort matters to me, and it’s that same sense of ease and warmth that I try to bring into every session. Whether we’re at home, outdoors, or in my studio, my goal is to capture the wholesome, intimate moments when you and your family are the most comfortable.
I work with clients who appreciate that feeling of calm, a mellowness that feels like home, even when we’re exploring outside or in the studio. My approach is gentle, relaxed, and intuitive, creating a space where real connections can shine and those authentic moments are captured honestly.

The kindest words from clients, to me…
“Fernanda was professional and thorough. Her photography is excellent. She captured the true love and laughs of the day without being intrusive. She just did what she did so well and I would recommend her 100% to capture your memories as she did for us.”
