Working globally, creating images that transcend aesthetics - visual portals to awaken and expand our sense of truth and belonging

A photographic journey of resilience and discovery.

Embark on my deeply personal journey as I navigate through the tapestry of my life. Through the lens of my camera, I discovered purpose and happiness amidst the chaos, capturing the essence of inner beauty.

MY MISSION IS TO CREATE visual experiences THAT SERVE AS EXPANDERS: moments of healing, transformation, and inspiration, THAT RIPPLE OUTWARD, TOUCHING lives AND COMMUNITIES.

I believe that the essence of who you are - your ‘I Am’ - is the most powerful and sacred gift you possess. It is the story of your life, the rich narrative of your existence, where light and shadow dance in perfect harmony and the profound rhythm of nature’s cycle breathes life into the essence, that makes you authentically, uniquely, powerfully, and beautifully you. Each photograph holds the power to transcend the ordinary and become a force for positive change in the world.

These images are more than just photographs

THEY ARE vessels of change, RESONATING THROUGH lives AND generations. THEY ARE not TO BE SEEN BUT TO BE felt!

My work is a labour of love, rooted in the belief that when we transform within, we change the world around us. It stands as a testament to the power of your story, as a living, breathing activism. It is the art of revealing, the art of healing, and the art of inspiring a world that is better because of the light you carry within you, one photograph at a time. This is your story, told with truth and artistry, for the world to see and for you to cherish for a lifetime.

All words would not be enough to describe such talent. Every moment I lived with you was pure emotion. My heart beat stronger and stronger. Tears invaded my eyes. My chest burst with happiness.

I have never felt so much care, so much professionalism, so much love in every detail and every gesture. Our smiles are the magic that transports us to another ‘planet’ and makes us feel like the most special woman in the world.

I am very grateful to the entire team and for having crossed paths with you.

Thank you, dear Jussara

Success always.

Dream Photoshoot!

Having a photoshoot here is a unique experience. Jussara is a dream-making machine: each session is tailored to the client, and from the moment we enter the studio, we are transported to another universe. In addition to the beautiful settings, the friendliness, and the relaxed atmosphere, there’s also a delightful snack, and even clothes, shoes, makeup, and accessories… a true female paradise.

Doing a photoshoot with her is far from just another ordinary photoshoot. It’s an experience that makes us feel pampered, valued, and beautiful above all else.

I love it.

A Touching Experience!

The surprise of discovering scenes beyond tales, the richness in the details of the fabrics, the melody that envelops and understands me, the tasty textures I savored, the colors with which I blended, and the beautiful people with whom I shared this magical day, I leave here all my gratitude and love… THANK YOU for the immense gift you gave.

My story, my truth was “projected” in these photos. I must confess that I was afraid that I wouldn’t be able to relax, as I had no experience at all. I never liked seeing myself in photos and I had this sorrow inside me, I didn’t recognize myself in them. But it was completely different! Right from the start, small details made my eyes sparkle and the emotion took over!!!
