It is snowing ❄️!!!

This image was taken during workshop in FL in the beginning of December.
I was enrolled at the Chicago’s class in July but my husband had a fever and I couldn’t go. Then Ana was so kind to let me go to the west TN class in October but the course moved to an impossible date for me. Then she let me join the FL class. The worst storm of the last 5 years happened the night before my flight, we had no power and the flight was canceled.
Against all the odds and fortunately I rescheduled my flight to later that day and I arrived just a few hours before the course started. Thank God for friends!!! rescued me from the MIA airport and drove me 3 hours to the course and back, made me a snack, drove me to Disney (I just had to bring something to Chloe) and took me back to the airport at night.

As you can see, it was 100% worth it!!!

Merry Christmas 🎄

While I’m here preparing for the Christmas Eve (this is when Brazilians celebrate Christmas), I’ve been thinking on how I wish we were closer to our friends and family back home. So today is a bittersweet moment for us. But at the same time we are so grateful for all the blessings we have and they are too many to count.

Merry Christmas everyone!!! Baby S. Was perfect on her session so I took advantage of it and we did a Christmas set for her and her parents.

“Nossa vida é formada por estações, e a cada uma delas você se descobre mais, passa pelos vales onde parece que sua chama quase se apaga completamente. E depois de uma pandemia desafiadora e dois abortos espontâneos eu me senti assim, quebrada. E então eu me permiti ser podada, vi minha situação com outros olhos e renasci das cinzas”.

Através dessa conversa com a minha cliente que criei o tema “Fênix” para a nossa sessão.
Assim somos nós mulheres: nós vivemos intensamente, nos doamos, somos expostas aos sentimentos mais intensos, e muitas vezes precisamos começar de novo, e assim o fazemos e nos tornamos ainda mais fortes.

Para essa foto, eu colei cada pena em uma base de papelão com cola quente (queimando e colando todos os dedos nesse processo). Quase coloquei fogo na casa enquanto queimava o papelão que está na base da foto, mas como tudo na vida, se não for pra ser intenso, não vale a pena. (👉🏻 para ver o processo da confecção das asas).

This was a creative session for a photography challenge to use Burlap. I’ve built her dress directly on her body using only burlap and pins. Can you believe that?!
I love the result!!!
