Why I photograph weddings: 

Photographing weddings is an honor and a privilege. Love is in the air and emotions are positive. Family and friends come together. Everyone looks their best. It’s a time to celebrate. I like seeing the bride in her wedding dress, the anticipation, all the connections. I enjoy seeing all the beautiful details, special touches, and traditions. It’s a big deal, and I get to be a part of something truly special.

My favorite quote: 

Less is more. Enjoy the moment.

My favorite dessert: 

Strawberry Cheesecake, Birthday Cake, Flan and Hot Chocolate

My favorite place to visit:

Mexico, California, Colorado, and Arizona

My ideal Friday night: 

Staying home, eating pizza and Netflix and chill.

A little more about me: 

Proud Latina! First-generation Mexican American! I speak Spanish. My style is diverse, journalistic, artsy, and traditional. Traditional is about 20%, and journalist about 80%. I’m an artist, creative, entrepreneur, and business owner. Every year I like to take some kind of photography workshop, attend style shoots and network to stay relevant. I’m old school. I started photography in the dark room and film. I enjoy meeting new people and making new friends. I enjoy hiking, traveling, reading, meditating, yoga, karaoke, dancing, eating good food and being surrounded by my loved ones. I’m grateful for all the blessings and optimistic about the future.
