Hi! I'm Milagros. And if you've made it this far, I'm so happy for you.

Because before photographing a family, I like them to know who I am. After all, I'm going to be with them during a very intimate moment in their lives. Whether it's the arrival of a baby, an afternoon playing with their children, or simply a stage they don't want to forget, I believe trust is just as important as the photograph.

My story with images began long before I had a camera in my hands.

When I was a child, my mother, a creative director at an advertising agency, would take me to film shoots. I would spend hours watching an idea come to life. Without realizing it, I began to discover a world that fascinated me: the world of light, composition, and stories told through an image.

Years later I studied Audiovisual Communication and had the privilege of learning photography in the most traditional way: developing film in a darkroom. There was something magical about that process. Waiting. Observing. Watching an image slowly appear on the paper. I think that, in some way, that patience still accompanies me to this day.

In 2014 I moved to Australia and, almost without planning it, Onedrop Photography was born. At first, I photographed surfers. I spent my days on beaches, learning to observe the light on the sea and waiting for the perfect moment.

But life had other plans.

A friend asked me if I could photograph a newborn baby. I accepted out of curiosity and discovered a whole new world. It was a one-way street.

The families arrived shortly afterwards.

And later, while we were living in Australia again —this time with our daughter Jacinta—, I found the style that defines Onedrop today.

I discovered that natural light was where I felt most comfortable. That children didn't need to stay still to create beautiful photographs. That the best images emerged when families stopped thinking about the camera and simply enjoyed being together.

Since then, every decision I make during a session stems from that same idea.

I prefer a hearty laugh to a perfect pose.

I prefer a spontaneous hug to a forced smile.

I prefer to wait for the right moment rather than rush it.

Today I live in José Ignacio, where every sunset reminds me why I chose this path.

I still get excited by the little things: tiny hands, a nose with a nose, a child running barefoot, parents looking at each other without realizing it.

Because I am convinced that, as the years go by, it is those small moments that end up meaning everything.

Thank you for getting this far.
