BEHIND THE CAMERA


Oh, hey there!


So, I guess you're curious to learn more about me. Thanks for asking! It means a lot! Now, let me share some other things about myself.


I'm a proud Latina who came to the United States as an Au Pair, which is basically like being a live-in nanny. It was during this time that I met the love of my life, Ryan, and we tied the knot. Now, we have an adorable baby boy named Liam. By the way, I'm totally a cat person. We have two Bengals, Leo and Milo, and I could go on for hours about how fascinating and unique they are!


Oh, and in my free time, I absolutely love to read! There's something magical about getting lost in the pages of a good book.




How did I become a photographer?

You know, when people ask me that question, I can't help but wonder how it all happened. But looking back, it feels like it was destined to be; I just needed to open my eyes and see what was right in front of me. Back in my younger days, I was that friend who always had a camera (Cybershot, haha) and I'd only head home when the memory card was maxed out. Sure, there were some cringe-worthy shots from my teenage years, but I think that's where my love for photography truly began.


Fast forward a bit, and in 2011, I decided to pursue journalism and headed off to college. I took a few Photography classes, but nothing really clicked in a journalistic sense. It was enjoyable, sure, but it didn't feel like the right path for me. Then, when I came to the US, I started taking pictures of my friends and the kids I was looking after, and that's when it hit me - being a photographer was my true calling.



My goal is to ensure you have a blast and completely forget that I'm even there, snapping your pictures
There's something about the unposed, natural shots that truly bring out the essence of those unforgettable occasions

My Work Style


When it comes to my photography, I like to give it a touch of my personality. You know, being an Enneagram type 4 (if you're into Enneagram, feel free to share your type when you message me, haha), I'm drawn to that moody vibe. I'm all about capturing genuine emotions and candid moments.

Warm and neutral tones are totally my thing, and oh, the magic of that perfect light during the golden hour – it's something I absolutely adore! It adds that extra special touch to my photos and creates a beautiful atmosphere.


Say hello!


Let's make something special together.
