About
Portuguese-American artist with a European education and a bold, minimalist style perfectly suited for the American entrepreneur. :)
I started as a web and graphic designer to fulfill my desire to have a career that is artistic, technical, and visual. As a web designer, I bought a camera and began taking photos in order to add image content for my clients’ websites. As a fan of music, I also began experimenting with photography at small local concerts. After receiving complimentary feedback about these website and live music photos, I decided to pursue photography professionally.
I strengthened and developed my skills by attending workshops, enrolling in professional online courses, and test shooting in the studio with musicians, friends, and my crazy family.
I am available to travel anywhere in Virginia and DC and can shoot both digital and film.
I want to take the time to get to know you. It's totally fine to tell me you don't know how to pose. I’m here to help you. Let me know if there’s anything I can do to help you feel more comfortable in being your silly self.

Five stars for Andre! He was incredibly fast to communicate, super helpful with all our pre-wedding questions, and a total pleasure to work with on our actual wedding day. The final photo album and editing were everything we could have hoped for. Andre is a brilliant photographer and true professional and we recommend him to everyone!

Andre, arrived early to set up and was able to go above and beyond our expectations. He not only provided quality pictures but also assisted in helping to make sure we restored the room in the same condition it was when we started. I would recommend Andre for all you photography needs.

Andre was AMAZING and so is his work! I needed photos of my home to post on a vacation rental site and to be honest, I was initially going to do them myself. Knowing my camera skills are quite basic and filters wouldn't really help me--I saw Andre's work and gave him a shot. He far exceeded what I had been looking for in the first place. Such great care in each room, moving things around just enough to fit the composition, but not ruin the integrity of the space. He asked for feedback to make sure I was happy with the angle of the photos--I felt like was at a fashion shoot of my house. Everything was edited perfectly and delivered so quickly. I have a few more things that need to be photographed down the line and he's on the top of my list to come back and take those pictures!

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
You will receive lots of benefits. I am able to travel anywhere in Virginia and DC. The pictures will be edited. You will have a gallery website. You can share the website with friends and Family. You can buy prints on the website though you have the freedom to print the pictures anywhere you like.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I want to take the time to know you. It's totally fine to tell me you don't know how to pose. I'm not going to say I will guide you during the shoot, instead, I want to know who you are and get to know each other so you will be much more comfortable in being your silly self during the shoot which you will end up amazing natural pictures.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I started as a web and graphic designer. I wanted something to work on a job that is artistic and technical at the same time. I wanted to work on something more visual than communication. I learned a lot going to workshops, buying professional online courses and lots of training in the studio.
