  • lisbon photography tour “Beautiful Maternity Photos” We actually had maternity photos taken by Maya and Miguel in when we were on a “Babymoon” and they were fabulous. They arranged some great spots around the city and we got some awesome and memorable shots. Highly recommend, especially value for money.
