Meet Fernanda in Orlando

I’m Fernanda, a calm, observant photographer who loves capturing real connection — whether it’s grandparents embracing grandkids or couples sharing a quiet smile. I’ve been chasing moments since childhood, studied art and photography in college, and made this home when I moved to Orlando in 2015. My sessions feel like spending time with a friend: peaceful, genuine, with laughter and no pressure. My style is emotional, relaxed, and natural. I love when the photos feel like the moment — not something staged. I’ve been a full-time photographer since 2015, mostly working with couples and families. I studied Art and Photography in university, but I think my real education came from observing life. I cry behind the camera when I photograph grandparents with their grandkids. That kind of moment is everything to me — because one day, all that’s left are the photos. Photography has always been with me. I used to carry a little camera everywhere since I was a child. I studied Art and Photography in college, and that led me naturally into this path. After moving to Orlando, it became my full-time work.

• 
  Languages Spoken: Portuguese, English, and Italian. I also understand Spanish pretty well.
• 
  Favourite Place to Shoot: Winter Park and downtown Orlando — especially around Lake Eola and Loch Haven Park. It really feels like the spirit of Orlando. You have nature, swans, water, city views, people walking their dogs, someone playing guitar in the background... It's peaceful but alive.
