Summer days
So much energy and joy!
Running, dancing, hugging, singing, sharing, being best friends, but also crying and arguing. That are real kids and this is how I love to photograph. Being themselves in their routines and keep those happy memories from a real childhood.

What to wear in a photo session?
Yesterday I went shopping and I returned back home with a new scarf, a bag and baby clothes (for a friend of mine that just became auntie for the first time.Yupi yeah!). Looking at them, it came straight away to my mind how cool would be to have this patterns and colours in an Autumn photo session, so I´ve put together a few items to inspire you a bit.

What to wear? It is one of the most common questions I hear, and in fact, what we wear make a big difference in the final result of a photo session. There is no secret formula and unexpected combinations can sometimes work well, however, it is important to plan a bit and find an harmonious combination. When there are kids, often we tend to choose evident colors as pink or blue, but there are many other options that can be considered.
You can find a few tips here or get inspiration here, but the most important is to feel comfortable and confident. If you don´t know how to conjugate colours, a good exercise is to pay attention when you step in a shop, the collections are organized and thought by designers, and often are displayed in a specific way to create harmony and new trends. Looking at it with some awareness, you can understand what works best, which colors are complementary and what doesn´t work at all.
Our tone of skin, hair and eyes´ colour also dictates which colours flatter us more. There are many studies about Season Colour Analysis and it is always fun to make a quiz and find which colours suit us best.
Jeans, white tops, a few nice accessories are always safe choices, but when moderate, patterns can bring some singleness. Go wild, but be yourself! :)

Jasmine flower tea
The days in Malta are getting longer and warmer, but not yet too hot for a cup of tea. We got Jasmine Flower tea at the bazaar in Istanbul (amazing city btw) and is the coolest tea ever tried. The flavour is very soft and a bit bitter, good to calm down a bit after such a busy day.
The cake is Lemon and Coconut vegan cake. I´m keeping my experiences in the kitchen and is quite nice to try new and healthy things. It´s not about the destination, is about the journey and I feel I´m finding myself again.

Os dias em Malta estão a ficar mais longos e quentes, mesmo assim, ainda não dá para recusar um chazinho. Comprámos chá de flor de Jasmin no baazar em Istambul e até hoje, foi mesmo o chá mais incrível que experimentei. O sabor é suave e um pouco amargo, mas ajuda a relaxar depois de um dia agitado e com muito trabalho.
O bolo é de limão e côco (vegan). As experiências na cozinha continuam e é sempre muito bom experimentar coisas novas e saudáveis. O caminho faz-se caminhando e eu aos poucos estou a reencontrar o meu.

When an image is strong, there is no need for many words. Some randmon photos from a portrait session in the nature. Pretty, pretty, pretty.

Mais vale tarde que nunca.
Não tenho conseguido estar presente aqui como gostaria, mas coisas novas e boas estão a acontecer de momento. Só preciso que a semana tenha 10 dias em vez de 7. Será que dá para esticar mais ainda?

10/52 Self- Portrait
Cheating (but in a sweet way)!
This week I haven´t take any self-portrait, this one was taken around two weeks ago. The last days just flew between rain, storms, hail and cold. I can´t believe spring is gone again.
Today I made these mini pancakes with yogurt, honey, cinnamon, flaked almonds, icing sugar and pecans. I was thinking about the mini pancakes (of which I am a fan since little) that a German man sell in Moncarapacho´s market; and I was thinking a lot about my mum as well, because she is having birthday tomorrow.
We have Freesias at home! They sell them everywhere now. It perfumes the whole house and brings me good memories of my grandmother who passed away some years ago. They were her favorite flowers and in the spring she always asked my mom if she could pick some from our garden.
Feeling lately a bit homesickness, but knowing they are fine, warms my heart.
Have a good week!

Batota, mas doce!
Esta semana não tirei nenhum auto-retrato, a foto de hoje tem umas duas semanas. Os dias fugiram entre chuva, tempestades, granizo e frio. Nem acredito que a Primavera foi-se embora novamente. Não tirei fotos, mas fiz estas mini panquecas com iogurte, mel, canela, amêndoas laminadas, açúcar em pó e nozes pecan. Lembrei-me das mini panquecas (das quais sou fã desde pequenina) que um senhor alemão vende no mercado de Moncarapacho e pensei muito na minha mãe que faz amanhã anos.
Temos frésias cá em casa, vendem raminhos coloridos por todo o lado a 1.5 euros! Perfumam a casa toda e trazem-me recordações muito boas da minha avó que partiu há uns anos. Eram as flores favoritas dela e na Primavera pedia sempre à minha mãe se podiam colher algumas do nosso jardim.
As saudades de casa apertam, mas saber que estão todos bem, aquece o coração.

Mummy cool
I met Klaudia some weeks ago in Valletta for a "last coffee and cupcake" before Chloé´s arrival in this world. And was just in time.
Yesterday I met the little one and she is so, but so cute and beautiful. Well, look at her mum!! (ok Jerry, you do not look bad as well) !!Happy for seeing you so happy with your little star.
This song, because today (and the passed 4 weekends) is raining. hey Spring, where are you?
Encontrei-me com a klaudia em Valletta há alguma semanas para um "último café e cupcake" antes do nascimento da Chloé (adoro o nome). E foi mesmo a tempo!
Ontem conheci a pequenina é que linda e super querida. Quer dizer, olhem para a mãe, não há dúvidas né? :)
Muito feliz por ver esta amiga nas nuvens com a sua nova família.
Deixo esta música porque hoje (assim como nos 4 fins-de-semana que passaram) está de chuva. Mas onde é que anda a Primavera?
