Photographing Clarissa was an absolute joy—soft vibes, genuine connection, and a sense of playful exploration defined the session. During our time together, we talked about the small but profound tattoo on her hand: the German word noch. This little word, meaning "yet" or "still," became the centerpiece of a deeper reflection.

As we explored its layered meaning, we marveled at how it holds space for imperfection, growth, and possibility. Whether in language or life, noch offers a reminder that things don’t have to be perfect right now—they can still evolve, grow, and transform.

This sentiment seemed to echo through the photographs we created: warm, real, and filled with potential. Thank you, Clarissa, for the beautiful conversation and for being a delight in front of the lens!
