"It's very important nowadays to know how to take a selfie," Sof?a begins by saying. "The one thing that I know is that you need to have a funny case so that you can hold the phone perfectly and that makes it easier," she explains, motioning to the makeshift handle affixed to her phone case.

"What else do we need?" she asks her niece.

"We need lighting, we need angles," Claudia replies while demonstrating the perfect selfie technique.

"We don't need a duck face, that's for sure," 44-year-old Sof?a quips. "She likes doing duck faces, but that's one thing I don't understand, no one looks pretty doing this. There is nothing like a smile showing your beautiful teeth."

"OK, so then we need lighting, and if you have a lot of flowers like us in the background it's better," she says as Claudia holds her phone out and snaps a pic of the two of them.
