06 Couple Photoshoots Couple Photoshoots
Casa Etérea is defined by reflection and landscape. Sessions are led by Caro, a San Miguel de Allende photographer working between fashion and documentary portraiture. Work is captured in natural light, typically at sunrise or sunset when contrast softens and the architecture dissolves into terrain. The result is shaped less by direction than by light, movement, and atmosphere. Please contact her in advance to ask for her availability and rate card.
