Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about softness (It could be @softflirt rubbing off on me)

And what it means to have it.
Own it.
Create from it.

About being more than a photographer.
Being an artist and allowing myself to exist inside my work, too.

As I get older, I think a lot about presence.
About womanhood.
About what’s next for me creatively and personally.

Learning that softness can still be powerful.

Maybe that’s part of the art too.

a love letter to my bod -

for carrying me through seasons where I didn’t listen.
for showing up anyway, even when I neglected or judged you.
for your strength, your resilience, your quiet patience.
for holding the trauma and pushing through the depths.
for teaching me that strong is a word that means more than just having muscles.
for creating, carrying, and nourishing four perfect humans- stretching, shifting, giving more than words can hold.
for allowing me to dance, move, train - working together as a team (finally!) to follow our dreams.

thank you. i love you. i’ve got you.

💪🏻💫🌊❤️

(and a MASSIVE thank you to @maitilson for helping this tribute come to life 📸)

Un RECAP de la Campaña con el @congresoteatroyucatan para Retratos de Artistas escénicos en colaboración con @casa.circo

Fue un gustazo conocer y compartir con los artistas que nos acompañaron ese día 🎭♥️

#mérida #artesescénicas #congresodeteatroyucatan #maitilson #xuux

A week in Mérida, connecting.

With artists, spaces, and organizations doing really beautiful work. The kind of energy that shaped me, that continues to inspire me.

🎭 ¿Estás pensando armar tu primer booking actoral y no sabes cómo empezar?
🎬 ¿Quieres participar en castings, pero piden fotos actualizadas y recientes?
✨ ¿Buscas crear comunidad con artistas de diversas disciplinas?

El Congreso Estatal de Teatro de Yucatán lanza su primera Campaña de Recaudación de Fondos rumbo a la 6ª edición:
Retratos para Artistas Escénicos 🎭

Una oportunidad para contar con fotografía profesional que fortalezca tu proyección actoral en un contexto donde la escena teatral y cinematográfica del estado sigue creciendo, y donde cada vez es más necesario contar con materiales visuales de calidad para procesos de selección, circulación y vinculación profesional.

📌 Actividad dirigida a:
Estudiantes que buscan iniciar su primer booking y artistas que desean actualizar su material profesional. Todas las disciplinas artísticas son bienvenidas.

📍 La dinámica es sencilla:
Sesiones de 15 minutos por participante con vestuario neutro a elección personal.

📸 Recibirás 3 fotografías esenciales:
• Primer plano
• Plano medio
• Cuerpo completo

🎟️ Cooperación solidaria: $250
Esta iniciativa busca ser accesible sin perder el valor del trabajo artístico. El costo real de una sesión es de $2,500 MXN, y se invita a contribuir de manera consciente. Tu aportación hace posible que el CETYUC y estos espacios sigan existiendo.

📅 Fecha, hora y lugar:
• Domingo 12 de abril de 12:00pm-6:00pm en Casa Circo.

📩 Registro presencial en la ubicación por orden de llegada.

Esta campaña es una herramienta para el crecimiento profesional de la comunidad artística del estado y también es una forma de sostener comunidad y construir colectivamente el camino rumbo hacia el 6º Congreso Estatal de Teatro de Yucatán.
