new work // spring time

eu não sei como é que as coisas funcionam convosco, mas algo me diz que eu não serei a única a sentir o mesmo! o que acontece é que muitas vezes fico de tal forma ocupada com os projectos que tenho em mãos para clientes, que me esqueço de mim, de fazer aquilo que gosto, ainda que no final tenha um carácter profissional. esqueço-me de sair de casa para tirar fotografias, só pelo prazer que me dá, esqueço-me de procurar sítios novos em lisboa, esqueço-me de tirar tempo durante a semana para mim e fazer o que me apetece… e depois disto tudo, não consigo encontrar o tempo para editar as fotografias que tirei e publicá-las aqui no blog ou ver quais é que são boas para ir para as lojas. sou a única a perder-se assim? espero que não!

i don’t know how things work out for you, but something tells me that i’m not the only one feeling this way! the thing is that week after week i feel that i have no time left for myself, after dedicating every bit of my time to my clients’ projects. i forget to spend some time alone with my camera, to go for walks, to wander around with no place in mind to go, to be, with no hours to check, nothing… i miss having the time for this and to find new places in lisbon and enjoy them. and even when i actually happen to have my camera when i go out, i hardly have the time to work on the photos to blog about or just to put on etsy for sale! am i the only one feeling this way? hope not!

Vintage Style Bike Photo

bem, desde a semana passada que consegui roubar um pouco do meu próprio tempo (será que tal coisa é possível?) e perder-me por entre os arquivos de fotografias dos últimos meses. é tão bom rever os sítios por onde andei, as tardes perdidas em lisboa, os dias de verão na costa alentejana, os fins de tarde na nossa casa antiga, os passeios por setúbal, cascais, sintra, santarém… rever as flores e as visitas aos jardins botânicos cá em lisboa, os passeios na praia na costa oeste, as cores, as flores, as borboletas, as casas e as janelas.

well, last week i was actually able to steal some time from myself (is this even possible?) and get lost among all my photo archives and revisit all the places i’ve been in these last months. it feels so good to go through those streets of lisbon, the botanic gardens, the summer days in the southwest of portugal, and all the walks throughout this country. it felt so good to go through every and each image. the windows, the flowers, the houses… it’s so me, it’s so what i love to do.

Cherry Blossoms Fine Art Print

e foi assim que consegui reunir uma mão cheia de novas fotografias para colocar à venda! existem fotografias que cheiram a primavera, outras para os amantes da fotografia de paisagem, para quem adore bicicletas ou queira ter sempre um cheirinho de lisboa em casa! estas são algumas das minhas preferidas desta semana!

**

and it was like this that i was able to put aside a bunch of new photos for prints on etsy. from countless hours in these last 12 months i was able to get so many new prints, some celebrate the goodness of our country, others celebrate spring days, summer sunsets, walks in the botanical gardens and so much more. these are some of my favourite this week! i could stare at them for so long…

e para que tudo isto seja ainda melhor, há uma promoção que decorre até ao dia 15 de maio, para quem quer dar um ar fresco à casa ou simplesmente porque sim, porque às vezes os “porque sins” são os melhores do mundo!

and to make everything even better, there’s a sale going on until may 15th! so for everyone who wants a fresh look in their homes, or just because, because sometimes this is actually the very best reason to do things – just because!

blooming trees

oh spring, you have to love this season, right? since we don’t have snow, winter can turn into something really boring. and i’m also aware that snow may be something magical for those who don’t experience the down side of it. for me, it is still magical. but since we don’t have that around lisbon, let’s move on to spring, shall we?

it’s a bit like diving into delicious cotton candy really! have you ever done that? i think it might be a good idea!

these are all available on the shop! you can get a few prints with a discount here. i hope you enjoy this breathe of fresh air into the shop! i see these on a girl’s room or as a new spring decor on your living-room, if you are into pink wall decor! these will certainly bring more light into a room! that said, i’m gone now! see you!

new work // new designs

i’m really excited about these new inspirational prints, a lot to do with love and having a great life, as an adventure! it’s so interesting how this happens over and over again! i stay for weeks or months without a new design, most of the times it has to do with not having the time to just create something, and a bit of lack of new ideas. and then all of a sudden, i design a few in a couple of hours, usually late at night. usually i end up designing something i’d like to own in my house. enjoy the new and fresh designs with a bit of colour, vintage and hipster mood!

All these are also available on society6, which is great for the other products available with the same designs, such as iphone cases, laptop & ipad skins, totes and pillows! yes, pillows! my newest favourite! i absolutely adore society6, because it’s hassle-free, but the down part is that we never know who buys our things, so… through etsy, i’m not only aware of who buys my work, but i also ship it and take care of it personally! so it feels different!

and though around here we don’t care much about valentine’s day, we do love each other and like to celebrate it! ok, i’m the one who always tries to celebrate! mr twiggs is more on the low-profile kind of guy, with small surprises once in a while! i like that. but anyway, celebrate love today my friends, even if in your living-room with a dinner just for two, or with your children, dogs & cats, but don’t forget to appreciate the love that surrounds you!

new work // landscape prints

just a quick hello to share some news on the shop! i’ve been working on the fine art prints, creating new things and also adding a lot of discounted sets of prints, asides the ones already there at your request! i think that sometimes it’s easier for a client to see the sets already created than browsing through the whole shop, trying to match a few prints! so here they are!

Summer-Haze

this one is from last summer! i pulled the car to the side to take the picture of this country field. it was too good… that tree and the golden hay, really a summerish view! i played with textures to bring more details and vibrancy to the photo, and obviously to add some… texture! ah!

and these last ones are a part of one set – sweet nature set! when i looked at them together on a folder i realized the tones were actually similar and these could look nice framed together! some are actually a bit dreamy on a very summerish way too! did you notice a pattern here? yes, it’s winter and all i do is talk about summer and work on summer prints!

all the photos are 8×12″ but available on other sizes, you can just contact me for those! i always list 8×12″ because that is the size i sell more, but would love to know if you think other sizes are more suitable for you! all these are available here! have a great sunday!
