behind the camera

wanderlust. Hopeless romantic.
Big Dreamer.

My name is Vanessa and I’m an artist who is inspired by beautiful and authentic stories. As a film & digital photographer, I use natural light to capture your day in a soft, romantic and elegant way. The foundation of my photography style is driven by your genuine emotions, it allows me to focus on you! Every photo we create becomes a piece of history - your legacy - to cherish, to share, to relive, again and again.

As a woman known for her vibrant personality, a hopeless romantic, and adventurous heart, I love serving the world by spreading joy and love to everyone I meet. 

I enjoy encouraging others to create their own happiness, and is a believer of living in the moment, handwritten notes, and that no morning is complete without coffee. When I’m not behind my camera, you can find this extroverted-introvert at home being a mama to Genevieve, planning for our next adventure, spending time with family & friends or simply enjoying life with my handsome (and yet pain in the ass) husband, Jorge.

Motherhood

Becoming a mother has taught me so much. And thanks to my daughter, Genevieve, I see the world in a new light. She reminds me to slow down and truly enjoy the little things in life. My heart is so full of love and gratitude. I especially would like to thank my best friend, the love of my life, Jorge for the beautiful 19  years together.  I love you.

 

Traveling

Exploring all sorts of nooks and crannies of the world is a favorite hobby of mine. From snowboarding on the mountains of Colorado, boating on the coast of Capri, to enjoying gelatos in a hidden street of Rome. I truly enjoy exploring and trying new things, especially with my Love. 

Quality time

There's nothing in this world that I enjoy more than spending time with my friends, family or even time to myself. Not only is it one of my main love languages but my ingredient to self care. Crafting, decorating our home, enjoying a book, or cuddle time on the couch is what I enjoy most.
