FAMILY / INTERIOR / COMMERCIAL
Give me all the living room dance parties, home-made bread and tortillas, summer evening walks, and hammock naps touching my daughters' hair.

INTERNATIONAL AWARD WINNING PHOTOGRAPHER
I was born in Mexico (on a May 5th - no joke!) and Canada has been home to our family since 2013. I love this country for many reasons, but mostly because of its people and their wide range of cultures.
I dream of a world where my kids don't feel like they can only appreciate a face with make-up and photos with filters. A world in which perfect doesn't mean flawless, and where different is not scary but interesting. I want them to search for beauty over prettiness, and to know that simple doesn't mean conformist.
I get it, there is a beautiful vulnerability in letting anyone step into your family life to record it. But I love bearing witness of all that shines in human relationships, even when it appears to be hiding. Allow me to make the pictures that you will reach for when you are missing this particular moment in your family life, and the ones you were with.
