Who this is for

This isn’t about looking sexy.
It’s about feeling safe, soft, and deeply seen.

If you've been…

Moving through life on autopilot
Forgetting what it's like to feel beautiful
Holding it all together for everyone else

Then this was created for you.

You’re allowed to want more.
You’re allowed to come undone.
You’re allowed to come home to yourself.

Why this matters

"I didn’t create this as a marketing campaign. I created it because I needed it."

As a mother, artist, and woman living through anxiety, ADHD, burnout, and beauty fatigue — I know what it’s like to lose connection with yourself.

This is the experience I wish had existed:

No pressure to perform
No expectation to feel confident
No need to shrink, smile, or pose

Just space to remember who you are.

A Portion of Your Session Supports STESSA

This experience is about more than reflection.
It’s about reclamation — and collective healing.

10% of every Return to You session is donated to STESSA (Standing Together to End Sexual Assault), Santa Barbara’s rape crisis center and support hub for survivors.

This cause is deeply personal.
Because being seen — safely, tenderly, without performance — is not something all women have had the privilege to experience. And it’s something every woman deserves.

When you say yes to being witnessed in your own softness and strength,
you help create the conditions for other women to feel safe, too.

Visibility becomes legacy. Power becomes shared.

"I had an absolutely amazing experience with Lucia creating my branding portraits. From her website to the detailed preparation guide to the "countdown to the day" emails, every detail was meticulous and made me feel excited for the shoot. During the photography session, Lucia and her team helped me feel beautiful and confident, which led to incredible portraits. I highly recommend her services."

—Former Client
"Lucia is simply thee best! I've worked with other photogs and my experience with Lucia was vastly different in all the best ways! It was a little overwhelming thinking of the day, the outfits, the details etc. However Lucia absolutely knows what she is doing and puts you at ease. She provided a wonderful space, wardrobe styling, hair, makeup, (snacks!), and best of all is her direction, knowledge, and talent to produce incredible photos!! You have no worries when you're in the hands of a true, experienced professional. I will cherish my photos for life! Thank you Lucia!!"
