I'm Mónica, a documentary photographer based on the sunny coast of Portugal and the heart behind Canto da Objectiva. As a mom, nature and travel lover, and local who’s deeply in love with this country, my goal is simple: to make you feel like you’re exploring Portugal with a friend who just happens to bring a camera along. I specialize in capturing real life and honest emotions - zero awkward poses required! Whether it’s your first time in front of a lens or you’re a seasoned traveler, I’ll guide you through every step so you can just relax, be yourself, and enjoy the moment. From solo travel portraits, romantic couple sessions to lively family moments, maternity stories, and weddings, I help you choose the perfect scenic backdrop, light, and timing - across Lisbon, Sintra and Cascais. I don't create photos just to look pretty on a feed; I capture memories that bring you right back to how those moments truly felt. Have an idea in mind or need help choosing a location?
