About

Born in Brazil, Marilia’s passion for photography & fashion started at a young age. She’d flip through the pages of Vogue tearing out her favorite editorial images to create bespoke collages. It was always a dream to work in the industry, so it was only a matter of time until she took flight to pursue her education in America. This is where she earned a degree in Advertising from the University of North Florida. After grasping a better understanding of the industry she picked up a camera and started producing photoshoots. Like any young and ambitious creative, the budget was small so she relied on friends and local models to produce and execute the photoshoots she envisioned. All of this merely a hobby as she continued her education earning a Master's Degree in Social Media and Business. 

Things came full circle when her published work caught the attention of a local fashion brand. She worked full time as a photographer for Natural Life for 5 years, where she spearheaded the brand’s social media content creation, produced all their lifestyle photoshoots and elevated the brand’s imagery bringing in ground breaking revenue through their online presence & catalogs. 

Now as an experienced producer & photographer Marilia works with multiple fashion brands shooting authentic content, where she is able to create unique narratives that define their identity.
