ABOUT RAQUEL PIRES

Introducing your Editorial STORYTELLER

Creating effortlessly beautiful, intimate & stylish imagery

If you’ve landed here, you’re probably dreaming of beautiful memories - the kind that feel editorial, with bossa, right?

But what does Bossa really mean? It’s a signature style, born in Brazil in the 60s, when Bossa Nova emerged, blending jazz with samba and creating an indescribable mix of warm sophistication, poetry and soul.

Since then, we’ve used bossa to describe anything that carries an unpretentious flair — something you don’t explain, you simply notice.

And that’s what inspires my approach: refined, old-money charm, for those drawn to effortless beauty.

I’m Raquel Pires, a storyteller at heart. Born in Brazil, based in Sydney, and always inspired by stories that travel the world. I photograph Weddings and Lifestyle Portraits with a blend of beauty & soul.

I look forward to hearing your story — and transforming your memories into art.

— CASSEY + KIERAM

“I felt so EMOTIONAL receiving the photos. WONDERFUL work and FULL OF LOVE. She made us comfortable, and we are very HAPPY with Raquel's PERFECT work. They are MEMORIES that we will keep for a lifetime, and she left a WONDERFUL mark on our lives.”

— KAROLINY + ADRIANO

“She was AMAZING and very lovely to work with. She captured our special day BEAUTIFULLY. Our children responded really well to her CALM nature also. Raquel is super TALENTED!"
