Meet Milena

The person behind the camera

Photography begins with paying attention

Milena creates authentic family, portrait, and brand photography designed to capture the moment, naturally and effortlessly.

My love for this art form began at an early age while growing up in Brazil. Surrounded by a vibrant mix of breathtaking nature and chaotic, colourful streets, I became captivated by the challenge of capturing that raw energy in a single frame. That background shapes how I see the world today — chasing soft, open-air lighting and authentic human connections.

Because of this, I offer entirely bespoke photoshoots tailored to your individual needs, and I love encouraging my clients to share their unique stories throughout our time together.

A thoughtful approach

Guidance when it helps. Space when it matters.

While every session is carefully prepared, the experience is always relaxed and flexible. Through gentle guidance and a keen eye for subtle moments, Milena lets who you are take centre stage.

  • Natural light and a sense of place
  • A relaxed chat before we begin
  • Gentle direction instead of rigid posing
  • Warm, considered editing
  • A pace shaped around the people involved

Based in Nottinghamshire

Stories close to home and further afield

Sessions are available across Nottinghamshire, Nottingham, Derbyshire, the Peak District and selected UK locations by arrangement. Every plan begins with a conversation about the people, purpose and place involved.
