"I'll start with the most important thing: get a session with Alisson/Nadia and don't waste time looking elsewhere!

Alisson is an amazing photographer, and helped me a lot to pose. He was very open and listened to my ideas and incorporated them whenever possible. 

The photos turned out to be amazing. 

I will definitely book with Alisson again next time I'm in Lisbon. 

And Nadia... well, I can't explain how helpful she was in making the session happen. Both really want to bring an extraordinary experience."
