About me
From Porto, with love
A Little more about me
Hey there! I’m Francisca, I’m 26, and even though I grew up between Entroncamento and Tomar, my heart has settled in Porto, Portugal.
I’ve got a BA degree in Journalism, and I enjoy fashion, social media, the office, webdesign, cats and writing music-related things every once in a while.
I’ve been doing photography for over 12 years now (started at the ripe age of 14), and I love getting to be a tourist guide while I photograph and have the best time.
In my many years of experience I’ve done mostly portraits, but also weddings and fashion shoots, and I’ve also worked with brands to bring stories to life.
