Photographs that feel like scenes from a film
Hi, I'm Lucia — a Brazilian-American photographer capturing families, couples and meaningful moments between California and Europe, with movement, emotion and a cinematic sense of memory.

(01) — A life between two continents
Based in California, at home in Italy
I spend most of the year in Irvine, California, photographing families and couples across Southern California — and every summer at our family home in the hills of Verona, working throughout Northern Italy and Switzerland.
My work is shaped by a lifetime of storytelling: studying Art History in Florence, fashion in Milan, and two decades across design, branding and art direction. Every session is approached with the eye of a photographer and the mindset of an art director.

(04) — The experience
From photoshoot to film scene
Before your session
We begin with a conversation about who you are, where you are traveling or living, and what this season of life feels like.
Location scouting
I recommend locations for light, movement and atmosphere — the California coast, a Verona street or a lakeside afternoon.
Styling & wardrobe
Wardrobe chosen to support the environment: natural fabrics, soft tones, texture and clothing that allows movement.
