One day you’re overwhelmed, buried in a burnout caused by the very thing you spent 10 years building…and the next, you’re slowly learning to see beauty in photography again.

No one really talks about this part.How you can lose passion for something you once loved, the moment it becomes your income, your responsibility, your everything.

But here’s the truth I’ve learned, we don’t have to photograph what everyone else expects from us.

We get to choose.Our work.Our clients.Our pace.

And maybe… that’s where the love for it starts to come back 🤍

It’s been such an incredible journey finding myself professionally again! 🙌

Not childhood best friends.
We met when life was already life-ing.
Now we’re just two girls with anxiety and a group chat that should probably be in therapy 💅✨

Packing the essentials:

✔️ Dresses that respect the culture
✔️ Camera to create
✔️ Mac to work at 30,000 feet
✔️ Sunnies (obviously)
✔️ Passport
✔️ Snorkel gear — because the ocean is home

Mother. Creative. Explorer.
Always all three.

What’s in your suitcase that feels like therapy? ✈️✨

To all the Perth mums - yes, you!

To the ones behind the phones, always capturing every little detail the curls after a swim, the sandy toes, the sleepy cuddles after a long day.
You already miss the tiny fingers, the way they once fit so perfectly in your hand.

One day, these moments will be their memories — your legacy.
Let’s turn them into something that lasts beyond the scroll and beyond the years.

📸 Limited Perth sessions this spring/ summer — for the mums who never step in front of the lens, but deserve to be part of the story too.

✨ Hello & Welcome to Light by Rita! ✨

I’m so excited to (re)introduce myself as I step into this beautiful new chapter under a brand name that truly reflects my heart and my work.

I’m Rita — natural light photographer, mama, and lover of soft, candid moments that tell real stories. After years photographing in Portugal, I’ve now planted new roots here in Australia, and with that came the desire to realign and refresh my brand.

Light by Rita is all about capturing the glow in everyday life —
🤍 The calm beauty of pregnancy
🤍 The quiet magic of newborn days
🤍 The wild, warm chaos of family life

If you’re drawn to soft tones, boho vibes, and nature-inspired sessions, you’re in the right place 🌾

To my loyal followers — thank you for staying with me on this journey.
And to all the new faces — I’m so happy you’re here. I can’t wait to photograph your story, in your light ✨

Let’s create something timeless together.
With love,
Rita x
