There are so many versions of me…
and for a long time, I thought I had to pick just one.
So this is officially me introducing myself—
the creative behind Macle Studios.
And if I’m being real… this hasn’t been easy.
As a women, we’re expected to be everything.
Perfect. Put together. Strong. Successful.
A good mom. A professional.
And somehow… never drop the ball.
That pressure is real.
But at the end of the day…
we have free will and we can do whatever the f**k we want with our lives. I had to remind myself of that.
I’m not perfect.
I’m still figuring myself out.
And instead of waiting until I had it all together…
I chose to build something anyway.
On paper, I did everything right.
I’m an accountant—structured, stable, logical.
But that was never the full version of me.
I came from a past that taught me resilience early.
So for a long time… I was just surviving.
Until I became a mom.
And everything shifted.
I started thinking about legacy…
about what I’m building, and what I’m showing my kids is possible.
And I knew I didn’t want to just survive anymore.
I wanted to create.
Macle didn’t start as some big business plan.
It started as an outlet—
a space where I could breathe, create, and be more than one version of -
And little by little… it became something bigger.
Macle is more than a photography studio.
It’s a space for creators, and brands to feel confident, seen, and elevated.
You don’t need to have it all figured out.
You just have to show up.
But for me?
It’s proof that you don’t have to fit into one version of who you’re “supposed” to be.
You can be the mom.
The professional.
The creative.
The one still healing and evolving.
All at the same time.
This is Macle, by Cristina.
Built from all I am and still just getting started.
