When I started Lucalia Photography in August 2016, I, like most small business owners, debated what to call my "baby". I could go with "Sarah Lockyer Photography" which would be ambiguous and could be confusing if my name changes in the future (which it did!). I could go with something photographic like "Frame Photos" or "Making Memories" which wouldn't be terribly unique. Instead I settled on "Lucalia Photography".
Say what?
Loo-cal-ia.
This is a Lucalia. It's also my dad, Nick.

Mum and Dad started their business many moons ago "Lucalia Partnerships". They designed and built racing cars. I grew up in the bush, with a garage so big I rode my bike in there on rainy days! In between the chassis, wheels and other bits of cars.
But where did "Lucalia" come from for my parents?
This is a Luculia. Loo-coo-lia. It's also a flower my Mum had in her wedding bouquet.
Dad passed away when I was 8. Mum and I were very lucky to have such a wonderful man in our lives. I wanted to continue his wonderful legacy in my business.
Hence Lucalia Photography.
