Fabio Moraes, a childbirth and family photographer, began his career in 2012 and, after four years, specialized in childbirth photography. He serves in Bragança Paulista, Atibaia, Campinas, and São Paulo.

As a family and birth photographer, I began my career in 2012 and, after four years, specialized in birth photography. I serve in Bragança Paulista, Atibaia, Campinas, and São Paulo.

Photography initially started as a hobby. After twelve years working on the factory floor, I felt it was time to seek new challenges, opportunities, and a better quality of life. Gradually, I discovered that photography was not just a talent but also my escape and therapy. I dedicated myself to studying extensively and moving forward.

Becoming a father intensified my connection with birth photography. I see my work in this field as a true life purpose. It involves more than just taking photos; it includes deep engagement with parents and collaboration with amazing medical teams.

Due to my passion for the family universe and my unique approach with clients, I am already recognized as a ‘doula’. See the results in the video below.

I love it when clients call me and say they follow my work and chose me to photograph their special day. Over the years, I have built an excellent relationship with doctors. In fact, when they run into me in the hospital corridors, they often request photographs, and many of them recommend and support my work. I am immensely grateful for this.

Reflecting on my professional journey, achieving internationally awarded photographs through the Outstanding Photo Award has brought more credibility, recognition, and appreciation to my work.

Today, I feel fulfilled as a birth and family photographer. My goal is to continue capturing these moments and sharing my knowledge in parenthood.

My goal is ambitious: I intend to photograph internationally (births and families), incorporating unique cultural characteristics.

Here are 5 tips for those starting out:

  1. Believe in yourself! Nothing in life comes easy.
  2. Have perseverance, dedication, and fight for your dreams.
  3. Strive to differentiate yourself amidst the competition. Study diligently!
  4. Offer not just a photograph but a genuine experience for your clients.
  5. Photograph with love and find fulfillment!
