Ocean Whispers for a Birthday Girl

The ocean felt different that evening. Quiet after the wind, soft after the storm. Just like her — still full of energy, yet thoughtful in the moments between.

This personal photoshoot for a 10-year-old girl marked the start of a new chapter — her first birthday in Portugal, her first golden-hour walk along the Atlantic coast, her paper boats meeting the waves one by one.

It was the kind of sunset that felt like a reward after a cloudy day — soft, golden, magical. The perfect backdrop for a children's portrait session on the beach, where emotions are real and hair dances with the wind.
