Testimonials

I did a branding session with Rita Santana at Pangera studio and I only have good things to say! Rita is extremely empathetic and naturally manages to make us feel completely at ease — even when we are out of our comfort zone. She always has a trick up her sleeve to unlock and capture the best in us. In addition, she is super organized and delivered the photos in record time, without compromising quality. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a professional, creative photographer with a light and inspiring energy!

Doing the Photo Branding session with Rita was empowering! Rita is able to show through her eyes who we are and what we want to convey. It was a very relaxed, fun and connecting moment. Rita is very empathetic and with her subtlety and humor she enhances the session. I highly recommend her!

How does it work?

01

Let’s connect.

Tell me about your work, your vision, and how you want to feel in your photos. I want to understand who you are — not just what you do. From there, we’ll choose the location, mood, and visual direction together.

I’ll get back to you within 24 hours with availability and all the details you need to plan your session.
If I happen to be unavailable, I’ll still point you toward someone I trust with your story.

03

Your rhythm.

On the day, we’ll work in flow — calmly and with intention. I’ll guide you gently so you feel comfortable and confident, but always leave space for the unexpected. You don’t need to perform. Just show up as you are.

Studio and outdoor shoots available.

03

Images that feel like you.

Within two weeks, you’ll receive an online gallery with a curated selection of images that feel like you — strong, soft, grounded, real.

This is your moment — show up, shine bright, and own every bit of it. Let the world see the powerhouse you are.

Not at all. This isn’t about stiff poses or perfect angles. I’ll guide you gently so you feel comfortable and natural, but what I’m really after is presence, not perfection.

 

Something that feels like you and aligned with your brand. 

If you need extra help I’ll put in contact with a personal stylist – total game changer!

 

Anywhere that reflects you or your brand energy. It can be your home, outdoors in Lisbon or Setúbal, or even a studio we rent together to bring your vision to life.

 

Most sessions last between 1.5 and 2 hours. That gives us time to settle in, explore a few different moods or outfits, and create without rushing.

 

That depends on the package you choose. Each collection includes a carefully curated selection of high-resolution images that reflect you at your best — honest, powerful, and real.

If you’re looking to elevate your online presence even more, video can be added as an extra. It’s perfect for showing your energy, voice, and presence in motion.
