hi. my name is Raphaela.
a quiet observer of life as it is fleeting, fragile, and yet worth preserving. making the most of our time, with the people we love.
my observations are deeply rooted in presence, focused on details, and I’m wildly aware that the hustle and bustle of life doesn't always allow us to stay in the moment or appreciate it. the days are long but the years are short, they say.
we can create intentional experiences, time focused on what's in front of us, knowing this moment will never return and try to catch it on camera. to create a piece of memory to look back at years from now with a glimpse of nostalgia.
I love observing families, children, couples, individuals enjoy being in the now. photos preserve these moments, videos capture movement, kindness, truth, and the feeling of contentment in the moment. let me create a keepsake for you to have for generations to come.
my work is rooted in experience, in curiosity, in my own chase for deep connections and a meaningful life. my values lie in connection, community, and kindness. I was fortunate enough to have met (and keep meeting) the best and kindest of people all throughout my life which led to the opportunity to create a home in another country for over a decade. the people that filled this part of my story are the reason I use my creativity to create lasting memories.
it is fleeting, fragile, and there is no certainty in how much time we have with the people we love.
let’s create something. I would feel so honored to use my passion to serve you.
