Portraits & Individual Presence

Images that reflect who you are and how you want to show up

What is it?

Portrait and individual presence sessions are about capturing who you are and how you want to show up in the world.

Whether you are an artist, creative professional or entrepreneur, these images help communicate your work, your personality and your presence.

The goal is to create photographs that feel authentic, natural and aligned with your story.

What People Are Saying

  • Melanie took professional photos for my business and website. It was a very pleasant session, and I felt super comfortable. In addition, Melanie is a lovely and very hardworking person, she gave her 100%. Thank you, Melanie!

    — Júlia (Branding Portrait Session)

  • Melanie photoshooted me and my husband, and our expecting daughter still in the baby bump, in a beautiful day at the park. She worked so well with the light and knew exactly how to make spontaneous shots, making us feel cozy and cheerful. She worked meticulously to match the photo style we discussed beforehand and the editing was speechless and fast. We were so happy with the result: impecable photos that truly captured this special moment.

    — Beatriz (Pregnancy Session)

  • Getting our photos shot with Melanie was such a nice and comforting experience. Especially for me as a person that doesn’t have experience being photographed, I couldn’t have wished for a better atmosphere to feel confident and also have fun! I would recommend anyone to get a professional shooting with Melanie!

    — Hanna (Artist Session)

  • I’m incredibly shy and have zero creativity when it comes to photo shoots, but you truly worked a miracle. The photos turned out beautiful and your work was flawless. You made me feel completely comfortable throughout the whole process

    — Bruna (Artist Session)

  • Working with Melanie was a wonderful experience. I enjoyed how committed she was with my project, trying to really understand the core of it so she can also feel it in the moment of the shooting. The results were incredible, as she was able to capture genuine emotions in every photo, making that special spark visible for others. Besides, she has a very beautiful vibe that make you feel that you can connect with her. Thank you for the experience
