My dear parent of a child graduating high school in the year of the Pandemic. They had no in person school. No sports. No college tours. No big parties. No teen hang outs. No last anything. No graduation ceremony. Nonetheless,  they can still be celebrated! I promise this year more than ever, getting them in […]

My senior year in high school was one of my favorite years ever. I felt excitement about my future; what it made it better was being surrounded by my friends, and the infinite activities and clubs I was part of. I was busy, but I loved it. I can’t imagine what it would be like […]

This year has rattle us like no other. Some of us can’t even begin to comprehend the impact “this” has had in some many families. But with challenges come new beginnings; new opportunities; and the making of new memories. In the middle of packing and moving out of state; this family of 4, including a […]

Photographing this family during one of the most challenging times our generation has experienced:  a global pandemic; and historic large California fires,  makes me appreciates my clients more than any other time in my 8 years in business.

She was following her dreams, like many of us are, and while in the transition from a corporate job as a industrial designer for a big multinational company, to motherhood  in a brand new […]

In this photography journey of mine, I have come to realize how my mind works. You give me a subject, a place, or certain kind of light, and my mind races with all these ideas. It’s hard to contain. The challenge is to concretize those thoughts. Often times, the results exceeds what I had in […]

I get asked a lot whether I do weddings or no. I mostly market my family photography. But to answer your questions, yes, I do photograph intimate weddings. The ones that are small family affairs, where you are present to celebrate your love. I find quite often we get lost in the big business that […]

To me, Morroco was magical; and certainly one of the best trips of life thus so far. All your senses could be heightened from the experience.
