Our Story

About Roots

How Roots
Took Shape

We are three Argentinians from Buenos Aires, Tucumán, and Catamarca who met while working in photography in the Riviera Maya. Photography connected us before Roots existed: Camila was one of Lucas's early mentors in photography, and Jazmín and Camila were already friends.

Each of us came to Mexico looking for opportunity and growth. Family and couple photo sessions were not something our own families commonly did, and discovering them here changed how we understood the value of photographing the people we love.

That shared experience — together with years of learning, working, and supporting one another — is part of what we now bring to Roots.

Three People. One Roots Standard.

For couple and family sessions, you book Roots rather than a personality. The person behind the camera may change, but the direction, care, and editing standard should not.

Lucas Serpa, co-founder and photographer at Roots Photography

Lucas

Co-founder · Photographer

From Buenos Aires, Lucas photographs couples, families, and weddings. He pays close attention to detail, works especially well with children, and stays calm when plans shift. What he enjoys most is getting to know the people he photographs and making images they will still care about years later. Building Roots is a dream he once hoped photography could make real.

Jazmín Alderete, co-founder and photographer at Roots Photography

Jazmín

Co-founder · Photographer · Creative Direction

From Tucumán, Jazmín photographs families, couples, and weddings and is part of Roots' creative direction. Before Roots, she worked in newborn photography in Argentina. She is patient with people who are not used to being photographed and pays close attention to whether every idea or direction feels comfortable. She is especially drawn to couples and weddings, where composition, movement, and emotion can meet naturally.

Camila, photographer at Roots Photography

Camila

Photographer

From Catamarca, Camila's experience includes families, maternity, couples, and weddings. She brings an organized, detail-oriented way of working and takes the responsibility of photographing important moments seriously. She especially enjoys the point when people stop thinking about the camera and begin interacting naturally with each other.
