Home is where the heart is, and also everything else that belongs to us. Our home is our own sanctuary, where we can truly be ourselves, finding comfort and warmth when it's cold.
Throughout my life, I've moved homes quite a few times. While I can still revisit some of my old homes, there are others that I'll never be able to return to.
I remember the apartment where I grew up. I still have images in my mind, recalling the days when everything seemed so large from little Camila's point of view. There was a time when I couldn't reach the door lock, and another when I needed a stool to grab a sneaky snack from the kitchen press.
I remember hiding under the dinner table.
I must have been around 10 years old when we left that place. Now, whenever I pass by the building, memories flood back—the furniture, the wooden floors, even my favorite TV shows on our old television. But that place exists only in my memory now.
I wish I had photos in my old home, as the images in my mind have started to blur.
This is one of the reasons why I love photographing families in their own homes—to create lasting memories for the children. I'm certain they'll love to look back on these moments in the future.
This photo session captures a fun post-school chocolate cake party. While I am at my clients' homes, I like to observe the children and let them be themselves, which often leads to adorable candid moments.
I had a lovely time photographing this beautiful family! It was cute seeing little Kate enjoying the chocolate from the floor and little Rory perched on the table. The family dance in the kitchen, the kids playing outside, Rory with his best friend Benji, Kate not too pleased lying on the floor while Rory played with her dollhouse—so many moments.
