little moments to get inspired

Camera Coffee Chat is an invitation to pause. Between a sip of coffee and a few shared words, we celebrate what is simple: presence, kindness, humanity. Each portrait is more than an image — it is a moment of life, turned into memory. Each chat is a stranger turned into a connection.
Because, in the end, what lifts us up every day is always found in the little things.

A portrait for a thought

A Portrait for a Thought is the short and unpredictable version of Camera | Coffee | Chat.

I walk around the city with my portable studio and a healthy dose of curiosity — always ready to meet new people and hear fresh perspectives. In just a few minutes, I’ll ask you one simple question. But don’t be surprised if it stays with you for the rest of the day. To wrap up our quick chat, we’ll take a portrait — a small way to mark a meaningful moment. You’ll get to pick your favorite and receive your image for free.


If we’ve already met, CLICK HERE and send me your info so I can share your photo gallery with you.

If we haven’t met yet, I hope we do soon. Until then, take care — and notice the small things.
