Celebrating Life
Major milestones and gatherings with the people we love most are full of small, emotional moments that often slip past us in the middle of the celebration. My goal is to capture that joy attentively and discreetly, preserving spontaneous hugs, shared glances, and the true essence of the occasion.
Birthday Parties
Duration: Depends on event length
- What’s included: Complete documentary coverage of the event.
- How it works: Discreetly and almost invisibly, I document the event to capture the authentic energy of your guests, candid laughter, and the details that make the day unique. The result is an honest visual story of your celebration, free from interruptions for posed shots.

Christenings
Duration: Depends on event length
- What’s included: Coverage of preparation at home, the ceremony, and the reception.
- How it works: A sensitive, storytelling approach that starts in the warmth of home—capturing the preparation and anticipation—and continues through to the end of the celebration. To ensure everything flows seamlessly and I blend naturally into your day, we have a brief preliminary meeting to align on all the details and special moments.
FAQ
1. How do we reserve the date for our event?
Get in touch through the form [here] or send an email to miguelalmas@hotmail.com. I will reply quickly to confirm availability.
2. What does coverage for a baptism or birthday party include?
I cover events using a discreet, documentary approach. For baptisms, coverage can include preparations at home, the ceremony, and the reception.
For birthday parties, I capture the guest interactions, social moments, and the cutting of the cake.
3. Do you travel outside of Lisbon?
Yes! Although I am based in the Lisbon area, I am available to travel anywhere in the country (or abroad) to document your event.
4. How long does photo delivery take?
Because these events involve a higher volume of moments and guests, the full online gallery is ready within 3 to 6 weeks.
If you need a few photos earlier to share with family, I can send a small preview selection in the days following the event.
5. How are the photos delivered, and how many will we receive?
All images are delivered in high resolution, individually edited in my signature style, via a private online gallery where you can download and share them with family. The total number of photos varies depending on event duration, but I always prioritize quality and visual storytelling over quantity.
6. Do you have a consultation before the event?
Yes. Especially for baptisms, I recommend a brief meeting (in person or online) to get to know the family, align on the day's timeline, and understand which moments and people are most important to document.
7. Who owns the copyright to the images, and how is privacy handled?
I fully respect your privacy. Photos will only be shared in my portfolio or on social media with your explicit authorization.
However, I kindly ask that you consider allowing it. Without shareable images, it becomes very difficult for me to showcase and promote my work.
