HELLO, I'M VITÓRIA M.

I'm Vitória M, a documentary photographer based in Porto.

I photograph maternity, newborns and families with a preference for natural light, real movement and the moments that happen between the moments.

I guide you gently and then step back, letting things happen.
I don't want to manufacture memories. I want to preserve the ones that already belong to you.

THE SMALL
THINGS STAY.

A hand reaching for yours.
A sleepy head on a shoulder.
The mess after breakfast.
The way they fit in your arms.
