Discovering Joy in Capturing Moments: My Favorite Home Photos

Photography has been a profound journey of discovery and joy for me. As a lover of home and nature, I have accumulated countless cherished moments captured within the confines of my house or yard. Today, I am delighted to share some of my favorite photos with you, each telling a unique story of love, experimentation, and delight.

A Heartfelt Surprise: Tithonia diversifolia

One of the most special memories I hold dear is the flower seed given to me by my best friend. It was a delightful surprise, but he didn't tell me its name. The seed bloomed into what turned out to be a Tithonia diversifolia, also known as the tree marigold, Mexican tournesol, or Mexican sunflower. Its vibrant beauty brought immense joy to my life, and I documented its growth with many photographs, carefully preserving the memory of our friendship and the beauty of nature.

Personal Recipes and Kitchen Photography

Another passion of mine is photography of my personal recipes. One such photo is of my signature paisa seafood stir fry pasta. Created with the warmth of my home, this dish represents a fusion of flavors and memories. Taking this photo with my iPhone 8 on my bed was a delight, showcasing the perfect blend of ingredients.

Home Kitchen Experiments

When it comes to capturing moments in my home, I often delve into unexpected experiments. My kitchen photography often involves mixing various substances to create abstract images. For instance, one photo I'm particularly fond of features a mix of oil, milk, and acrylics, all captured in their magic moment. This image, as well as others, were taken in the living room or on my balcony, never in a traditional studio setting.

Natural Light and Indoor Portraits

Sometimes, the simplest and unassuming moments can yield the most beautiful results. One example is a photo taken during a spring morning, where the perfect sunlight entranced me. I used fresias to add a touch of color, creating a composition that felt both natural and enchanting. Another photo was taken at a window with a mirror, daisies, and a syringe of water, showcasing the patience and playfulness required to achieve such images.

Conclusion

Through these photos, I hope to share a glimpse into my world and inspire others to capture the beauty and joy in their daily life. Whether it's through nature's gifts or personal creations, the art of photography allows us to cherish and recreate these moments. I invite you to explore my gallery and perhaps find a photo or two that resonates with you.
