The good old days in the making ❤️

16/02/2026

One day, everything changes forever.
And from that moment on, it keeps changing, because nothing ever stays the same.

The tiny ball of bliss that now fits perfectly on your chest will, sooner than you think, walk home from school alone, proud, taller, independent.

Mama, take the photo.
Capture this season before it slips away.

You’ll miss it.

The meaningful, sweet, ordinary moments that we create with (and for) our families are SO worth preserving.

23/01/2024

There’s a long explanation about why I didn’t post these before, which can be summarized as “I’m just bad at planning and scheduling my content”. I was intending to write about it (I actually started doing so) when I had this AHA moment and said to myself “Lucrecia, no one cares about this”.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And I think I’m right.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So no matter why, you should have seen these posted in Nov/Dec of a different year, but here they are.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
They’re cozy and fun, make me smile, I’m glad I took them, and I wish I had posted them before… but better late than never, right?
😊

Yesterday H. asked me to see the pictures I do for work. I was scrolling through this app, so we took a look at my account, and she saw that there was a caption next to each image and asked me what it said.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Sometimes I write about her: the things she asks, the changes in our lives, how I face them, and how my perception of time, of life, evolves next to my motherhood journey. She got excited to hear these things and asked me to read only the captions where I mentioned her.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And all of a sudden she got so melancholic that she even cried a bit and of course, asked new questions. I could write about how sensitive H. is, even songs make her cry.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But this time, this caption is about me. Because I found myself again through my own words. I realized I had forgotten so many ordinary yet significant things that happened just a couple of years ago.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I had something to say. Not only because I was more focused on the message I wanted to share as a brand, but because I was more focused on myself, my family, the need to soak up it all, and the awareness of the ordinary everyday things that will soon become memories.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The last 2 years great things happened in my life, the last one was, in that sense, amazing. But I’ve been growing a burnout, had a few days in which I collapsed, weeks in which I couldn’t even reply to an email, little to no friends to talk to about this deeply, tones of guilt because I couldn’t be thankful enough, months without knowing what was going on with my brain.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And now I’m wondering if perhaps it was just a matter of revisiting my own words and review my soul and brain from the better days, to find myself again. To rediscover not my why as a brand but my why as a person, as a mother, a wife, an immigrant, an artist.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Because I’ve been looking for myself all this time, you bet I did. But I was looking outside.

I'm so behind with sharing content that this little dot you see here just turned one, and I'm already getting my gear (and heart) ready to see him again this weekend and photograph his family.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Sometimes I complain about work, especially the admin part of it, which I hate 😅 but then I realize that I'm not only able to do what I love but also, how this job surpassed all my expectations. I can see families from very different backgrounds grow and evolve, I can help them preserve their memories and make them smile in the process, and I can daydream that the little kids I see and photograph today will be adults who will go through these photographs and feel loved, respected, and supported.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I have a job that allows me to make people happy. If that's not the best job in the world then I don't know...

So this not-so-strange thing happened to me the last few days. It started with 3 people asking me if I still do photoshoots. One didn't get my emails, but the other 2 saw little to no movement here in my account.

I overlooked at it and didn’t give it much importance, until this happened: yesterday I, myself, was looking for something, found a few Instagram accounts with very old posts, and thought: well, they're probably out of business.

I said that to myself!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I'm still laughing about it, because it truly is hilarious, to think that I think that people who do what I'm doing (well, basically, not doing), it's telling potential clients that they're out of business 🙈🙈
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So here I am, back on Instagram to say hello, to show you one of the sessions I did this year (isn't she cute?), to tell you that I honestly miss you, I miss the community, the beautiful people I met here, the company I used to feel. I'm still considering starting a newsletter to be closer to the ones who want to stay in touch and know a bit more about me, and still fighting the hesitation to post more often so you can say "Hey, I want to get photos of us like that!" and then hire me and make me (and you) happy 🥰

Petite sessions are the perfect excuse to spend time with your loved ones, have fun, and get those beautiful updated smiles preserved.

These are not mini sessions that are booked back-to-back, so there's more flexibility to schedule them.
But they are limited edition: available during November and on weekdays.

Most of my sessions take place because a parent realized that time with children goes fast and that their little ones don't fit in their hands anymore.

In that sense, this session was no exception, and they were able to enjoy an ordinary Sunday morning and celebrate the simple things they do every day to make each other smile.

Come take a look, perhaps you can relate to that 🥰 Just click the link below:

I found out I was good at writing when I was 10. I had to write a fable for school and my teacher liked it so much that she made me read it to the whole class.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When you’re a kid and someone makes you see that you’re good at something, you keep doing it and try to get better. You want people (especially adults) telling you how good you are, it boosts your self-esteem.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So I kept writing for years, I even thought about studying literature, but something else was growing on me too: I was very good at drawing. Like, really good. So the decision between arts and literature wasn’t simple.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You might find it strange to know that I ended up in law school. I studied to become a lawyer knowing that that was not what I wanted to be and I internally fought my destiny like crazy.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But that story is irrelevant right now.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The thing is, I love writing. It feels easy for me to communicate by text, yet doing it in English sometimes hurts. It feels enormously difficult, I'm too much of a perfectionist to swallow my own mistakes, I can't stand going back to my own texts, and on top of all, I feel stupid and not myself at all.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’ve been thinking about creating a newsletter for a long time, but the fear of embarrassment is gigantic. Once the email is sent there's no way back and the typos and other mistakes will be there unreachable for me to edit, in other people's mailbox for them to see.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But this year I decided to give it a go, and try. Because the urge is real, and even though I know I won't get the same feeling I had when I was 10, it’s going to give me joy (and a bit of anxiety, I know😅).
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I need a more intimate way of telling things, of connecting with people, of creating, without fighting an algorithm and doing it at my own pace.
It will be a learning curve, and I’ll feel heavily exposed. But you'll be kind… right?

07/02/2022

Things are getting back to normal in this place we call home and it seems like I'll have a routinary week after all.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Today I shipped albums, sent proposals, heard a podcast, watched tv, and I even modeled for my 5 yo who wanted to portray me before going to school.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
My little one had a playdate, then I cooked, we had dinner together as a family as always, and now my eldest is right next to me asking me for help to print some pictures to gift.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What a peaceful, ordinary, needed day.
Oh and it was sunny. Wonderfully sunny 🙌
