Telling Stories of Life and Love

Life Stories

Life’s greatest moments deserve to be remembered in vivid, heartfelt detail and so do we and our relationships with loved ones. Celebrate yourself, others, and life memories. As long as people are involved, I'm your photographer.

Brand Narratives

The Personal Brand Lab is more than a photoshoot — it’s a creative deep dive into the heart of your brand. Together, we’ll uncover your essence, refine your visual story, and translate it into images that feel intentional, authentic, and magnetic. From concept to styling to the final shot, every detail is designed to help you show up confidently and connect with the people you want to reach.

  • ‘I did my maternity session with Mafe a few days ago and I am still digesting these perfect moments that she captured from me. She has such an incredible and artistic sense, also she's so kind, always smiling and making the environment so light, so fun. I couldn't be happier with the result.’

    Beatriz - Maternity Session Client

  • ‘Mafe was extremely professional as was her assistant. She made me feel confident and I felt like I was in a Vogue shoot! Loved my photos. Highly recommend.’

    Simi - Headshot Session

  • ‘I had a maternity photoshoot with Mafe, and I'm glad I did. My husband and I wanted lifestyle photos, and Mafe captured them. She's a great professional with a sensibility that goes beyond talent. I recommend her photo services!’

    Helga - Maternity & Family Session

  • ‘We asked Fernanda to take some family photos for us. It was a wonderful experience. She is very easy to work with, from sending recommendations to trying to shape the process around you. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer.’

    Sukhi - Family Session

  • 'I highly recommend Fernanda. I found her through a FB post, and checked her website and was mesmerized, I saw in her portfolio beautiful women who captured simplicity yet elegance, and that's when I realized I wanted to do the photoshoot with her. Our photoshoot turned out great, it was more than I expected, which made me love myself. I felt comfortable working with her, she guided me throughout the photoshoot.'

INTENTION SESSION

Intention Sessions are rooted in your essence and natural movement. These sessions invite you to show up with purpose as I guide you through your connection with body and space, capturing your most authentic self.

02

COUPLES & LOVE

Couples sessions focus on movement, connection, and playfulness to capture your unique dynamic and love story. Instead of awkward poses, I’ll guide you through natural movements that truly reflect who you are together.

PREGNANCY

Maternity sessions are all about celebrating the incredible journey of bringing new life into the world. Whether it’s just you embracing this transformative time or you and your partner sharing in the excitement, my goal is to capture the beauty, strength, and connection of this moment. These images will serve as a timeless reminder of the love and anticipation that filled this chapter of your story.

04

FAMILIES

Family sessions are all about capturing the essence of your unique connections—whether it’s two proud parents with a newborn or a lively group of siblings and their parents. I aim to observe and document your relationships and dynamics, preserving this moment in time so you’ll always remember how it felt.

05

WEDDINGS

Weddings are a celebration of love in all its beautiful forms, and I cherish capturing every moment. I blend elegant, posed portraits in stunning locations with the natural movement and connection found in my couples sessions. At the same time, I step back as an observer, documenting the heartfelt love and joy that surrounds you on your special day.
