A Day in the Life: Triplets and a Baby – A Portuguese Summer Story

This is more than a photo session—it's an award-winning documentary story of a remarkable family during the golden days of summer in Portugal, 2023.

Imagine four children under the age of four—three adventurous triplets and their tiny baby sibling—embracing the warmth of summer, the rhythm of the waves, and the joy of being together outdoors. What unfolds is a real-life fairy tale, told through the lens of documentary photography: natural, tender, and unscripted.

This family’s story is a quiet celebration of love, resilience, and connection. Watching these brave parents manage the daily logistics of four small children with grace and patience is something close to magic. There are no rehearsals or retakes—just life as it is, beautifully chaotic and joyfully unpredictable.

From sandy toes and windswept hair to sibling giggles and quiet naps in the shade, every moment tells a part of the larger narrative: how it feels to be part of this loving family. It’s not about posing or perfection—it’s about preserving memories that reflect their true personalities, emotions, and bonds.

Spending a day with them at the beach and in their home gave me the chance to witness and document moments that are already slipping away in the whirlwind of early childhood. These photographs are now timeless memories—visual proof of a summer lived fully, of laughter and sandcastles, of cuddles and ice cream, of gentle parenting and growing hearts.

This “Day in the Life” (DITL) session is one of my most cherished works. It’s proof that documentary family photography can be both art and memory, a quiet testament to the fleeting magic of childhood.

Are you ready to capture your family’s everyday adventure—just as it truly is?

Let’s create your story together.
