NOVA luz

Nova: new/star

Luz: light

an ode to my Latin roots and a TESTAMENT of the light that ignited when I decided to start creating and paying attention to every detail that makes life uniquely breath taking.

if you know me, then you know that ONE OF the most magical parts of me are my children, luna (moon) and Apollo (sun).

Nova luz honors them as well as the birth of my truest most artistic self.

there’s beauty all around us

I simply have the privilege of capturing it
