PHOTOGRAPHER IN LEIRIA
Hi, I'm Jorge and I photograph people. Whether it's couples or individual sessions, I work for those who want to capture the memory of a particular moment in their life in photographs.
I'm in Leiria, but I photograph wherever they want to be photographed.
THE PEOPLE I PHOTOGRAPH
They are those who value photography, who like to see their good times in beautiful images. They want memories in albums and in frames on their walls so they can remember and share them.
Making people happy with photographs is my purpose. I am fortunate to have been living this purpose for over 10 years.
After the session
In a maximum of 3 weeks you will have the opportunity to see around 80 images to choose your favorites. The collections start at €90 and have several options to suit your needs.
Enjoy the session
Once we have a date set, I will send you information to help you prepare for your session in a relaxed manner. I prefer to photograph in places that you like, and the sessions last around 60 to 90 minutes. I will capture great images without you noticing, but there are times when we can do some more intentional shots.
It all starts with a conversation
It can be through the contact form here on the website or even a phone call. Talking on the phone is the quickest way for us to chat, for me to explain what I usually do and answer your questions.
If you think we're a good fit then we can book your session and get ready for some fun!
A payment of €30 and a bit of paperwork is required to book the session.
HOW DO I PHOTOGRAPH A SESSION?
Frequently Asked Questions
I always want to keep my clients well informed about everything that happens in the process of photographing them. From the first contact, until everything is delivered.
If I miss something or if you forget, you know I am always available via email, message or phone call to clarify everything.
"When to have a session?"
The simple answer? NOW! Why? Because life changes quickly and that's good! But it's also good to be able to capture images that take us back to the past to remember certain moments in our lives. We are our memories after all.
"How much do the sessions cost?"
When choosing the date for the session, you will pay the reservation fee (€30) and the final amount of the session will be paid when you choose the collection you want to purchase. Collections start at €90 and include a high-resolution download of a variable number of photographs, as well as printing credits so you can order the ones you want to frame!
For more details, just get in touch.
"Where can we see your Portfolio?"
From the shoot photos, you can see some of my favorites here, but my Instagram is a good place to go to look at the most recent photos and other shares.

"How do you work in the session?"
My main goal is to make you feel at ease. In a couples session, for example, I give some instructions but I photograph what happens throughout the session, the interactions, the reactions and the emotions. In an individual session I am more directive but in these sessions there is also sometimes a more defined idea of what people want.
"Can we print our photos?"
They can and they should! This is why I include print credit in all collections. Better than on our computers and cell phones, these photos shine in our frames and on the walls at home.
"Do you do sessions all over the country?"
Of course! Distance is not an obstacle to stop me from taking pictures. I'll find a way to get to you. For trips to sessions that exceed 30km from Leiria, the cost of the trip is added. These amounts, when applicable, are paid up to 3 weeks after the session. Travel for sessions outside mainland Portugal is subject to a quote.
"Do you do sessions all year round?"
Yes, sessions can be done at any time of the year, although they are more common in spring and autumn because many people like to do them outdoors. During the summer I do less because of weddings, but it is possible to do them during the week.
