A Little Bit About Me...
I'm a queer Xicana (Mexican American) artist from The Bronx. I graduated from Mount Holyoke College in 2015 with a degree in Psychology and a minor in Latina/o Studies. I got into professional photography after completing a project called 100 Women of Color which laid the groundwork for my client base. I photographed more than 100 women of color all over New York City, a diverse group of women.
Since then, I've photographed three weddings, hundreds of people and I've worked with Getty Images as an Exclusive Contributor for their Latinx stock imagery collection. My stock photographs have been used for the U.S. Census, NYS Trainings, Metroplus Health Insurance Ads and more. I am also a small business owner ✨🫶 I currently have an online shop where I sell jewelry and accessories! With this business experience, I have delved into product photography and offer photo services for small businesses that need that extra boost for their website and social media.

Here are a few other photo jobs I've done:
- Photographed an artist their group exhibition at BRIC
- Photographed a women's retreat in Samana, Dominican Republic
- Documented a house blessing in Estado de Mexico, Mexico
- Consulted creatives on how to form and execute a photo project
Frequently Asked Questions
What area are you located in?
I'm located in the Bronx and I work all over the five boroughs of NYC. If you need me to photograph you, your team or your project in your city, we can discuss my prices and your budget in a free consultation call. For photo jobs outside of the Tri-State area, I require transportation costs to be covered in full. If the location requires me to fly out, a roundtrip flight as well as other transportation costs/accommodations will be covered in full by the client.
How far in advance should I book?
I am booking from now until October 2023. I will do my best to accommodate your timeline if we are a fit to work together. From May 12-May 22, I will not be available for any work.
Do I have to be vaccinated to book you?
Yes, as I am immuno-compromised, I require all my clients to be vaccinated at least with two doses and to show documented proof. I will provide proof of my two initial covid vaccines and my recent updated covid booster.
Do you offer other services?
I offer basic photo editing services/basic retouching services.
Frequently Asked Questions Continued:
Raw Files (Photos)/Unedited Photos
Under no circumstance do I ever give raw files, raw photos, or unedited photos for clients to keep. You may see unedited photos in the proofing process (selection of your final picks for your digital album) but other than that, you will not get raw files. If you forget this, I will remind you in my contract. If raw files/photos is something you need, then we will not work together.
