it all started when
Long story short, that calling was wedding photography and I haven't looked back since. I think my favorite part about wedding days is the love stories. I know that relationships are fun and exciting, but that they also take hard work of consciously choosing your partner daily through the thick & thin. The fact that you both agreed that "yup, this is my life partner" is one of the most beautiful commitments & acts of human connection that we can make. No wonder we go all out celebrating that new chapter!
I was born in Ecuador and immigrated with my family to Miami, Florida when I was very young. Although I didn't spend much time in Ecuador, I still consider it a big part of my personality. I'm grateful to be fluent in Spanish, and once upon a time I performed with various salsa dance teams in celebration of my heritage.
I insisted on going to college in a different state, so I ended up in Baltimore to attend Johns Hopkins University, which is where my photography career began! My major was wildly unrelated to photography, but I suddenly had friends who were graduating from college and wanted somebody, anybody, to take their photos. Graduation portraits turned to engagement photos, then family portraits, and suddenly I had a side hustle on my hands.
Life then took me to a college town in Oregon, where I met my partner and favorite person in the world, Mason. Being new in town, I slowed down my photography endeavors and PNW nature was my muse instead. A friend of mine inspired me to pick my business up again, this time with a fresh set of eyes and a crazy passion for the business side of things.
Mason, Lexi dog, and I moved to D.C. in 2021, and it turned out to be an incredible place to progress my business ventures. I am thrilled with all the photography experience I have gained here and I cannot wait to see where life takes us next!
