About - Camilla Cheade Photography

Hello! I'm Camilla

and I love stories

I love listening to people, transforming each word they choose into colors and shapes as they share a chapter of their lives. It’s a feeling that keeps me alive and motivated, inspiring me to preserve these moments in some way.

THAT'S WHY I DECIDED TO TELL STORIES

Yes, I can tell your story through images, by capturing your most special moments as they are — real and authentic. I’m in awe of the power photography has to bring memories to life, provoke reflection, and stir emotions. Through visual storytelling, we reconnect with the essence of who we are.

I’m a photographer born and raised in Brazil, now based in Italy, living and discovering my own story, eager to meet and photograph yours.

kind words

Camilla, what a wonderful, warm, kind and talented person you are! You have helped us to capture the most important day of our lives and we will be forever grateful to you. Your work will be hanging in our home forever. We love you, thank you!

We love the photos, thank you very much! Thanks to you we will have wonderful memories. All the guests complimented you because you managed everything without being intrusive, capturing the spontaneous moments.

Camilla was absolutely spectacular in every detail. We appreciated how she gave us all the space during the surprise proposal moment to be entirely present, only engaging with us once we began talking to her. Camilla made us feel so comfortable, making us laugh naturally and capturing very candids moments. We loved every second of working with her, it was truly magical. The photos are simply marvelous, by all accounts. Thank you so, so much!

We wanted to share how much we love the photos. I don’t know what I was expecting, but this is beyond anything I could’ve imagined. Additionally... Emily and I have spoken so often, in these whirlwind days of call after call with family/friends since our proposal, of how grateful we were to have you share that moment with us. Your warmth, engagement, positivity, and clear joy and passion for what you do made a beautiful day even brighter for us. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Camilla is THE BEST! There are a lot of great photographers but I chose Camilla because her portfolio shows not just the beautiful scenery but also how her subjects connected with her camera. My instincts were right! Camilla delivered above & beyond expectations. Her lighting was superb. She got the iconic Firenze domes, columns & architecture. But more than anything else, she captured our energy & spirit. We’re a big group of 13 people, seven women who came from all across the globe to meet in Italy to celebrate turning 50yo. Camilla immediately got our vibe, worked with our happy energy & beautifully captured a lifelong friendship that went as far back as grade school & withstood the test of time. We cannot thank her enough for these gorgeous images, of moments captured in time of our unforgettable Italian trip together. Grazie Mille, Camilla! Maraming Salamat!!

Planning trips out as far in advance as means never knowing what to expect with weather. Picture day in Florence was a VERY rainy day, but Camilla was very talented with the lens and extraordinary at capturing beautiful photos of us and the surrounding city! Our pictures are stunning. My husband and I are camera shy and we’re super grateful for Camilla’s patience, kindness, and direction with posing. We’re so grateful to have worked with her.

We adored our photography session with Camilla! The pictures are absolutely incredible and she did so such a great job of capturing the energy of our family! Camilla was great with our big group, wonderful with kids, and just an all around joy to work with. She exceeded all of my expectations!

Camilla was the perfect photographer for the shoot. She was extremely professional, super friendly and the communication was great. She took great care when planning and communicating to ensure my surprise proposal remained that way. Both my partner and I aren't the biggest fans of being in front of the camera but she made sure we were comfortable throughout the shoot and we actually had a lot of fun. She was as excited for the surprise proposal as I was. Finally, the pictures came out great.

— AMAN & ALIYA / USA

Camilla was amazing. She is very funny and a great photographer. But since our photoshoot was a proposal, her personality made everything better. I have to thank her for the help in creating a great experience.

— JOÃO & VANESSA / PORTUGAL

We booked a Florence photography shoot with Camilla to commemorate our wedding anniversary. We had a great time during the outing. Camilla did a great job of putting at ease and captured some truly fantastic candid moments. She was very attentive to what we wanted to accomplish in terms of settings, backdrops etc. The photos turned out beautiful and were tack sharp! We would definitely recommend Camilla to anyone that is looking for a Pro to shoot photos for them. Thanks Camilla!

Camilla is an amazing photographer who took gorgeous photos: everyone is a winner! She knew the exact angles, lighting, some poses we were skeptical about but she was right, they look fantastic and natural, and she was a shot of sunshine and energy in our early morning shoot, helping get the bleary-eyed going. The photos are all far better than I imagined! Now, the hard part: how do I pick ONE to put on my wall?

— TARA & FAMILY / USA

I cannot stop smiling after seeing our photos from the shoot with Camilla. She was extremely professional yet warm and encouraging. She made us feel comfortable and excitable which really comes through in the photos. She did a wonderful job not only with the photos but also with the selection of locations and the final edits she made to the prints. I cannot recommend her enough and would not have changed a single thing from our photo shoot.
