I am Clara Sampaio, I photograph for passion and love my profession. Since I've changed architecture for wedding photography and family, I can say that I'm part of a select group of people who work with what they really like, and that makes all the difference. The language of my work is guided by photojournalism and most of the time I photograph the moments as they actually happen. I seek the truth of each couple's feelings to tell their love story with pictures.

Born in Teresópolis, a mountain town in the State of Rio de Janeiro, I grew up surrounded by an incredible family and inspiring wolves From an early age I got used to admiring the beautiful and the arts as ways of seeing reality. Graduated in Law, I exercise until today the profession with passion and dedication, qualities that I transpose to all the domains of my personal and professional life. The photograph arose from the need to record my wandering around the world and the people who make my universe more beautiful and happy. Then, I began to study photography technique with a keen eye, in order to eternalize everything that poetically my eyes and lenses can capture. However, no teacher or book is able to teach us to open the soul of the photographed, which is only possible if he generously wants to share his inner world and his experiences.

I'm a photographer and Systems Analyst. I belong to my dear wife and daughters. Some time ago, I was inspired to begin the realization of a dream: Make of my great passion, photography, the livelihood, and sustenance. As a professional documentary family photographer, my job is to keep in mind the real moments, whether at home or out there. It's your ordinary day. Instead of forced smiles and uncomfortable clothes, the family photojournalist records how those people who love each other live. Embark on this adventure, and let me show the essence of your family. When you see these photographs after years, many people will think because they did not too. Have fun while the photographer captures these magical moments.

Hi, I'm Raphael, also known as Maria's father and Camila's husband. 8 years ago I went to journalism college to tell stories. I went through the newspaper and website, press office, wrote many chronicles, fables, and short stories until I plunged into photography in 2014. But Maria's arrival in 2017 showed me a new world. I started to register our day to day, the simplest moments and at the same time more special that we live. The time to wake up still with a little sleep, the games of hide and seek in the room of Maria, the walk through the neighborhood in the sling and then in the bibi (cart) and bath time, the most expected moment of the day. I realized that these moments at home are the most incredible in our lives and I decided to take these simple and unique records to other families as well. Our life is not made up of poses, but moments that show our essence. My greatest wish is that the records I make will be remembered in 10, 20 or 30 years as a sweet reminder of who the family is.

Deeply in love with moments that brings up the best of emotions that is simple yet beautiful and cozy. It was in the Photography classes of the Journalism and Advertising graduation courses of Universidade Federal Fluminense that I discovered my passion for telling stories through images. Since then, I have focused on people and the different relationships that surround them. My goal is to eternalize in images real stories composed of love, emotions and simple moments. I believe in photography as an art that allows me to capture and perpetuate the moments and the distinct phases of life as time passes by.

Family and birth photography, like everything else in my life, was something that came out of curiosity, became a passion and later work. What I can say is that I really love what I do and I spent a lot of time, and I will spend the rest of my life also perfecting. Altogether 10 years - from the first amateur records to professionalization - we are dedicated to this art of eternalizing the most important and unforgettable moments of families, grooms, parents, debutantes ... I often refer to what I call a small business. photography like us. We are because there are so many people in one who are hyperactive and looking for something new (I am also a musician, they say every musician is a little crazy) and also because there are so many people involved in the art of doing a good job of photography, since technical part until the delivery of the work to the client, so I always use and use the plural, I am not or do absolutely NOTHING! Reflecting on things, about my "style" of photography, I think more important than style is knowing how to capture the moment behind an image, register emotions, and eternalize feelings ... give more than an aesthetic sense ... but create an exciting and captivating image.
