Lisbon isn’t just a place you visit — it’s a place that stays with you. The light, the atmosphere, the sounds of the trams and the river breeze… It’s no wonder more and more travelers are choosing to capture their time here through a professional photo session. And this week, I had the chance to work with two very different but equally inspiring stories.
✨ Emma’s Solo Adventure
Emma, a solo traveler from California, wanted something special to mark her time in Lisbon. She had been dreaming of this trip for years and finally made it happen — on her own terms.
We met at the Miradouro de São Pedro de Alcântara, one of Lisbon’s most iconic viewpoints. Overlooking the city with the castle in the background and the golden light slowly pouring in, it was the perfect setting for a session that felt both powerful and intimate. Emma’s energy was warm and adventurous — and by the end of the session, she told me it was one of her favorite moments of the trip.
💑 Josh & Lauren’s Lisbon Getaway
Later that day, I had the pleasure of meeting Josh and Lauren, a couple from Chicago on a romantic escape through Portugal. They wanted to slow down and capture the beauty of being together in a new city.
We met at Ribeira das Naus, right by the river — a place where locals and travelers relax, walk, and enjoy the golden hour. With the soft breeze, the sound of the water, and the late-afternoon glow, it was the perfect spot for real, natural moments between them. Nothing forced — just laughter, connection, and the kind of memories that last.
🗺️ Lisbon Is Full of Stories Waiting to Be Told
Whether you’re visiting Lisbon alone, with a partner, friends or family, there’s no better place to slow down and enjoy the moment. Every neighborhood has its charm — and every session I do is different, because it reflects your journey.
Some of my favorite spots for photo sessions include:
- The vibrant streets of Alfama, full of color and history
- The elegant light and tiled façades of Chiado
- The romantic paths and wild beauty of Sintra
- The sea breeze and charm of Cascais at sunset
- Or even hidden gems like Tapada das Necessidades or Bica for more authentic Lisbon corners
