AUTHENTIC MOMENTS,

TIMELESS MEMORIES

Abu Dhabi, UAE

CAPTURING YOUR FAMILY MOMENTS IN ABU DHABI

It’s the little moments that mean the most—the belly laughs, the messy hair, the way your child holds your hand.

That’s what I capture.

I want to give you memories that take you back, because it all goes by way too fast. My sessions are about more than just photos—they’re about telling your family’s story (as cliche as it sounds). They’re about having fun and being present, whether you’re running around with your kids or just enjoying time together, no forced poses, no fake smiles—just you being you.

In their own words…

  • We had an amazing experience with Mercedes. Thank you for being patient with us during the shoot. Thank you for giving us confidence to pose and being very flexible with us and especially with baby T. These pictures are going to last us and our baby T a lifetime of memories. Would def recommend Mercedes if you want these kind of dreamy shots! ✨💛

  • We were absolutely happy with our experience with Mercedes for our maternity/family shoot. Right from our initial phone call, we sensed her professionalism and genuine empathy, she instantly put us at ease.

    We cannot recommend Mercedes highly enough to anyone seeking an outstanding professional with a kind heart and a unique artistic vision. Thank you again for making this experience so special for our family. We are forever grateful!

  • Mercedes photographed my family twice, a pregnancy shoot and a family shoot, and both times were incredible! Her pictures were perfect - they were gorgeous and exactly what I was looking for. She was so great to work with and the experience was incredible - both times she somehow managed to win over my stubborn toddler and we actually had a blast as a family! I can’t wait to work with her again! 100% recommended.

How does it work?

behind the lens

Hi there, I’m so glad you found me!

As a mom, I know what it feels like to want to stop time, to try to remember every single detail, every word, every smile. I also know how difficult it is to be in the pictures, having millions of pictures of my son yet almost none of him and I (at least none besides selfies!). I want to change that.

I want to give you pictures that you and your kids will cherish 20 years from now, that make you remember life in UAE and how small they once were. I’ll be there to guide you from the initial phase of planning, where to go and what to wear. If you’re considering a session, I’d love to chat! Get in touch below and we can talk about the perfect session for you.

How do I even describe this session’s weather? It rained right before we started (then thankfully stopped), the sun popped out for five minutes in the middle of a cloudy sky, we shot for just 20. And the results are absolute magic! ✨ Thank you

Another late post from December, and I’ve already seen this family twice since then so it deserved to be on the feed! Hats off to these boys that had to put up with me twice in 3 months🤪 March and April are now almost fully booked on weekends
Another late post from December, and I’ve already seen this family twice since then so it deserved to be on the feed! Hats off to these boys that had to put up with me twice in 3 months🤪 March and April are now almost fully booked on weekends and they’re literally our last two months with decent weather so run, don’t walk (and not just if you’re planning a session with me! Speaking with some friends/colleagues, they’re also running on a busy schedule❤️) If you’d still like to venture outdoors in summer, I got you! I’ll be sending out a special session in the upcoming week so keep an eye out or write “summer” in the comments below and I will share all the details when they’re ready!✨ . . .

If I had to give you ONE tip for your session… It would be to just be present. More than an hour of taking pictures, I would like you to think of this as an hour to truly enjoy your kids, run with them, play with them, hold them close. The best photos come from real emotions and genuine connections, so don’t worry about perfection - just be in the moment, enjoy the experience, and I’ll be there to capture the magic as it naturally happens ✨ .

Hi there! Just thought I’d show my face since I rarely do over here! ✨ The irony of life is that I’ve always been very shy in front of the camera (despite this picture…I’m working on it!) but that’s the main reason why I do what I do. I love real moments, unposed pictures , those moments that happen when you forget that I’m there, the connection with your kids or partner. If you’re the same, I’m glad you found me! I’m always up for a chat (and a good coffee) so if you have any questions I’m just a text or call away! ❤️ . . .

oh hi baby bump 😍 I truly am in awe of my maternity clients! I know it’s not easy—figuring out hair and makeup, choosing an outfit that fits AND looks beautiful in photos, all while juggling the exhaustion that comes with pregnancy. It takes so much strength, and I’m always so impressed by how you all show up, radiating beauty and making the most of the experience...embracing the moment, having fun, and truly shining throughout the session. I'm so honored to be a part of it! ✨ . . . . Maternity photoshoot in Abu Dhabi #abudhabiphotographer #maternityphotoshootabudhabi #pregnancyphotoshootabudhabi #abudhabimums #abudhabimumsandbabies
