05.05.2025 – My 34th Birthday on Film

There’s a spontaneity in film photography that no digital camera could ever replicate.
But maybe it’s not just the photos—it’s the whole process.

You have a vision, but you never truly know how it will turn out. You can hand the camera to a child and see the world through their eyes. There’s no instant preview. We send the rolls off to be developed, and then we wait. A few days of mystery… or maybe magic.

And when the scans finally arrive—there are always surprises. I laughed so hard at some of the shots, swung between emotions, and felt a warmth I didn’t expect.
What struck me most were those awkward, real faces—the ones that aren’t posed or polished. The kind that instantly transported me back to my old family albums. That raw, unfiltered honesty. That beautiful imperfection.

Film is definitely for those who want to live slowly and wonder more.

In English we say,
“I am a mom”
In poetry, we say: “I hold hands and hearts. I catch tears and colds. I watch my heart exist on the outside of my skin. I am anew. Learning. I’m all-to-familiar with 2am. Bone deep in love and exhaustion. I always carry wipes. I cry more now. Laugh more now. Feel more now. The love is what takes me off guard the most; the ferocity, the intensity, the forever and ever unending shape of it. I love more now, and that is worth it.

Licença poética para o português, porque dia 7 foi o dia dela — e eu me lembrei dessas fotos - que como datam o calendário na parede, são de Maio de 2023.

Desde que sou criança, quando nos encontramos, ela trança meus cabelos. É quase um ritual sagrado. Um momentinho nosso. E para muito além dos cabelos, trançamos histórias — como canta Nando “um relicário imenso desse amor”.

Lembro de pedir pro Thi, dessa vez, fazer uns registros. E que bom que fizemos. Já que o tempo não para, é bom tê-lo guardado assim. Aguça minha memória e me traz de volta o cheiro de café e do bolo quentinho. Me faz alcançar a doçura e a leveza que é passar o tempo - tão precioso - com você.

Etimologicamente, recordação vem do latim “recordatio”, derivado do verbo “recordari”, que por sua vez vem de “re-” (de novo) + “cor, cordis” (coração). Ou seja, recordar originalmente significa “passar novamente pelo coração”.

Porque tudo à nossa volta — sentadas à mesa da sua cozinha, ouvindo o barulho da chaleira e os cachorros aos nossos pés — ressalta meus sentidos mais puros.

Estar com você é sempre ser criança de novo. É um presente misturado com um passado bonito. A certeza de que sempre vou caber no seu colo quentinho. Embora você também já caiba no meu.

Te amo tanto, vovó!
Feliz 86 anos. 🤍

I had booked flights to visit some friends and celebrate my birthday in Byron Bay.

But the day before, Yasmin got really sick, and all the plans were canceled.
I felt so frustrated—but this time, there was no space to sit and cry. Instead, I had to pull myself together and be there for my baby girl.

It’s funny how, when you’re tired from sleepless nights and stress, every emotion feels bigger. But in a way, having this tiny human on my chest helps me regulate my own feelings.

So… let’s look at the bright side.

Thiago and I started making a list.
At least we’re not spreading the virus to our friends. The forecast in Byron was all rain anyway, and here in Sydney, the sun finally came out.

We went for a morning walk to soak in the light we hadn’t seen in a while.
I looked at Yasmin, and she was already drifting off—less than an hour after waking from her morning nap.

I shrugged. Well, she needs this.

Then Thiago, in his ironic tone, said,
“But what if she doesn’t sleep at night?”

We looked at each other and laughed so hard I almost lost my breath.
That kind of laugh—where you’re so overtired it’s hard to tell if you’re about to cry or just completely lose it.
It’s become our little inside joke now: laughing at the chaos because sometimes, that’s all you can do.

always
with love & poetry,
Nic

That day Harvey refused to let go of his lollipop during the shoot 😂—it’s now a memory frozen in time. And honestly, that’s the magic of it… remembering the little story behind the photo.

Kids weren’t made to sit still and smile at the camera. So the best thing to do? Just go with the flow. Join the fun, follow their lead. It’s always worth it. No one sees the world quite like these little humans do.

Third time shooting this lovely family—now waiting for another little one to join the crew! What a joy it is to be part of this journey.

always,
with love & poetry

These days, newborn sessions feel like slow mornings wrapped in love—the warmth of sunlight, the scent of a baby’s head, the quiet weight of a new life in your arms. A soft reminder of how it felt to meet your little one for the very first time 🤍🍃
