"Co-crear una experiencia de renacer,
Esa fue mi experiencia con Hestia.
No fue solamente una sesión de fotos, fue un acompañamiento con sensibilidad y cuido a mi vivencia y agradezco profundamente que haya sido capturada en esas imágenes con amor."
Gracias,
Lucia.
I WANT TO ATTEND TO YOUR FUNERAL
I want to honor the dead of whom you used to be.
I want to cry with the ocean while you become one with her, and as if we were one, I want to let parts of me die too.
I want to eat your remains with the vultures. They are waiting for the deliciousness of your rotten flesh.
And, after that, I want to see you.
Reborn.
In light.
who is
HESTIA?
Hestia is a Goddess central to civilization because she represented the center of the home, the community, the town, the city. No meal could be eaten without her, for she was the very fire that transformed the ingredients into nourishment.
For us women, the essence of Hestia is invoked by simply lighting a fire in our hearts and reminding ourselves of the importance of self-love as our nourishment.
Now is the time to come home and let Hestia guide our way. She is the sacred fire that burns within us; she is that feeling of being complete in ourselves and trusting our intuition. It represents the connection with the inner center and also with the others. It is an expression of Being.
Hestia says that wholeness is nurtured when you learn to come home to yourself and create the appropriate physical manifestation: a home that will nurture you.
I'm here to offer a safe space for you to find your beauty, to see yourself with my eyes, eyes of no judgment.
Eyes that have seen hundreds of bodies and found the wonder in each one of them.
Because that is the truth, the truth is that we are all perfect, we are all enough,
We are all Nature.

My experience with Flavia was a 10/10! She made me feel so comfortable in my body and helped me to see the beauty in my imperfections and that my body was apart of nature. Although our session was brief, I got more than I paid for during our time together and she has such an amazing soul. We connected instantly, and I felt like she was one of my friends from home. The pictures came out beautiful. From the start to finish, the experience and service was exceptional. I will definitely book her again in the future!

ABOUT ME | Flavia Villalba
Hey, I'm Flavia, but people call me Flo. My journey with photography started ten years ago in my home country, Argentina. I fell in love with the possibilities that opened up for me with a camera in my hand, and I felt like photography infused me with the courage to embark on new adventures. From Argentina to Brazil and finally, to where I currently reside in Costa Rica, photography has given me the key to explore new countries and cultures, which has helped me learn more about myself and the world.
I have captured images of one adventure was moving to Brazil to do tourist reports in the north of Brazil. When I returned to my country, I dedicated myself to newborn photography. Portraying families for me put me under a spell. I can feel the flow of love in every session, in every shot. If you ask me why I like to take photos, the answer is MAGIC. There is something in the pictures that I cannot explain in words; it is as if invisible energy floods me from within and connects me with the beauty of life in a profound way.
Two years ago, I came to Costa Rica with a job proposal in an "All-Inclusive Hotel" chain. My horizons expanded by offering portraits and sessions to the families who came to the hotel, but I also felt a bit empty inside.
At the time, I was "struggling" with my self-esteem issues, and that lifestyle was not helping me at all. So when I decided to change the environment - and the hotel - I began to explore nude photography. At first with curiosity, then with passion. I discovered that exposed, natural, and vulnerable bodies, as they are, contain much beauty.
Those imperfections that we try hard to cover make us who we are, and we are beautiful. When I started working with bodies, I also noticed changes in my relationship with mine, and instead of fighting it, I began to accept and pamper it.
And when the pandemic arrived and I sat down with myself to ask what I really want to do, the answer came to me in a clear way: I want to change the paradigm of beauty. I want to accept myself completely and accompany those who want to accept themselves as well. I want to overthrow the oversexualization of the naked body, of nature, of the base, of the root.
But I can't do this alone. I need an army of women willing to do this with me. We must understand that the body is our home and is also the means of communication with our Spirit, that in our womb the creative force that characterizes us as women is born, and that if we display that force, if we allow ourselves to give it a voice, we discover our power, which is the power that resides in everything and everyone.
If you ask me why photography, the answer is magic.
If you ask me why Hestia, the answer is spirit.
When I began to accept my body, I began to see the power of my spirit.
Today my body is my home, photography is my tool, Hestia is my guide and women are my sisters.
Together, we change the world consciousness to a more loving and divine frequency.
