welcome to our world
Joana
& Ruben
We met online as teenagers through our love for (heavy) music and going to concerts β and somehow we never really stopped talking after that.
Photography was always there. Not in a serious, βthis is going to be our futureβ kind of way, just something we both loved and kept coming back to while growing up. Back then, Ruben was studying to work in IT and Joana was pretty sure sheβd become a forensic scientist. Turns outβ¦ life had other plans. Somewhere along the way, this hobby we did for fun slowly became our life. And honestly, it still feels a bit surreal to say this is our job.
Twelve years later, weβre still choosing each other everyday and building a life that truly feels ours. A life filled with travel, with time spent outside, with a home thatβs never really quiet β now shared with our pets, and one day, maybe with small humans running through it. A life shaped by curiosity, by creativity, and by the belief that it should be fully lived, with kindness and honesty.
We are deeply connected to nature - itβs where we slow down, breathe deeper and remember what truly matters; itβs where we recharge and find inspiration; itβs what fuels our souls and our art. Nature teaches us to be present, to notice all the little fleeting moments, all the different textures, how the light shapes the way we see the world.
Weβre also the kind of people who fall in love with new things constantly. Running, hiking, mountain biking, trying to make good latte art, reading, gaming - we collect hobbies the same way we collect moments. If you ever want co-op game suggestions or romantasy book recs, weβre your people.
We really believe life isnβt in the big, perfectly planned moments. Itβs in the in-between.
The impromptu coffee dates.
The conversations at 2am when you should definitely be asleep.
The people you meet by chance that somehow stay in your life for years.
The hugs that feel like home.
The laughter, the tears, the small, fleeting seconds that somehow mean everything.
Thatβs the stuff that matters to us. Itβs how we see life and how we see love.
And itβs exactly how we choose to document it.
