Euro Summer, documented

Portugal Girls Trip with Chloe Montoya

There’s just something about a digicam that brings travel memories to life in the most nostalgic, effortless way. I recently joined my friend and influencer Chloe Montoya on a girls trip to Portugal, and I brought along my favorite digital camera to capture the magic. Chloe hosted a dreamy European getaway with a group of amazing women-and I had the best time tagging along to help document it all.

From pastel tiles and beach towns to late-night laughs and scenic walks through Lisbon, this trip was full of moments that felt like a real-life movie. I wanted the photos to reflect that: playful, spontaneous, and full of warmth. There’s no better way to capture a Euro summer than with a flash and a little bit of grain.

I’ve included a few of my favorite vacation photos from the trip below, plus a short video compiling all the digicam memories. These are the kind of photos I live for-imperfect, sun-soaked, and full of feeling.

If you're looking for a photographer in Orange County or Southern California who knows how to capture real, candid energy-whether it’s your brand, your next vacation, or a curated experience like this one—I’d love to work together. Think: flash photography, girls trip vibes, and effortless content you’ll actually want to post.
