Mother and Daughter: A Simple Life in Harmony with Nature

Amidst the wild hills of Alentejo, surrounded by picturesque landscapes, Anastasia and her daughter Theia live a life deeply connected to nature. With a herd of neighboring sheep and an abundance of nature's creatures, their daily lives are an ode to simplicity and a love for the environment that surrounds them.

This photo session, captured by the talented photographer @nata.horinkova, invites us to step into their world. Through warm and authentic images, we see Anastasia and Theia picking oranges, savoring them, and playing together. It’s an intimate portrayal of a mother-daughter bond that transcends the ordinary and celebrates the beauty of a simple life.

Anastasia, in addition to being a mother, is a passionate photographer who creates images for sustainable and bohemian brands in unique settings, both in Portugal and other special corners of the world. Theia, on the other hand, spends her days learning and playing at the village school, where, as her mother says, "she can spend an entire day barefoot."
Anastasia reflects:
"I always knew I would grow alongside my daughter, but only now am I beginning to grasp what it truly means: expanding into becoming a more creative, present, and compassionate being. She is my daughter and also my teacher. I am grateful for her presence, for inspiring me to live simply, in harmony with nature, and to be a better mother each day."

This collaboration between Anastasia @ayakhnina, her daughter, and the unique perspective of @nata.horinkova offers us a visual story that not only captures the profound connection between mother and daughter but also celebrates the spirit of living purposefully and in balance with the natural world
