About Susana
Hi, I’m Susana, I am a documentary photographer, videographer, and doula passionate about capturing authentic human stories withhonesty, sensitivity, and respect. For over a decade, I have documented birth through photography and film, accompanying families during one of the most profound and transformative moments of human life.
Alongside my work in birth and motherhood, I also document dance performances, concerts, cultural events, and wellbeing retreats, bringing the same documentary approach, sensitivity, and attention to authentic human connection to every story I tell.
Since an early age, I have felt a deep calling to explore the creative and spiritual dimensions of life—spaces where healing, expression, and transformation unfold. This path has shaped not only my work behind the camera, but also my role as a doula, allowing me to accompany women and families with presence, empathy, and deep respect.
Whether documenting the first breath of a newborn, the energy of a live performance, or the atmosphere of a retreat, my aim is always the same: to create honest, timeless images and films that preserve not only what happened, but how it felt.

Initial review
Service: Birth photography at home
Experiencing the birth of my child through Susana's lens was an incredible journey. Her unique perspective and ability to capture essential details made me feel as though I was watching through the eyes of my midwives. The final photos were beyond my expectations, perfectly capturing every interaction and personality within our family.
