TELLING STORIES that last A LIFETIME

BASED IN FLORIDA, WORKING GLOBALLY

Welcome to my slice of the internet, where love stories come to life through my lens! With a lifelong passion for capturing the beauty of genuine moments, I've merged my love for photography with the art of documentary-styled storytelling! Every click of my shutter is an opportunity to freeze time, preserving the emotions that weave together to create your unique love story!

Guided by my unwavering commitment to authenticity and the pursuit of raw emotions, I'm here to ensure that your journey of love is etched in photographs that resonate for generations!

HERE ARE SOME TID-BITS OF WHAT MAKE ME WHO I AM! JOIN ME AS I SIP COFFEE, CHASE ADVENTURES, AND GET LOST IN THE WORLD OF CLAY!

  • I find the therapeutic aspect of pottery enjoyable, as it allows the thoughts in my mind to drift away
  • I am absolutely travel-obsessed! The world of miles & points is something I'm slowly diving into! I want to see what the world, different countries, and other cultures have to teach me!
  • I love to cook and bake, and I equally love to eat! one of my favorite restaurants in Miami is Finka - IYKYK! Its the perfect ménage à trois of Peruvian, Cuban, and Asian fusion cuisine!
  • Two of my favorite shows are Madam Secretary and The Office. A bonus favorite is Modern Family! When it comes to movies, i rank them as follows: action, rom-coms, and comedy!
  • I loveeee Margaritas!!! Recently, I've also picked up a liking for white wine! Send recommendations my way!
  • I practice pilates and yoga weekly! Let's take a class together if you're up for it!
  • A cute bookstore aesthetic, paired with a good book and a coffee, feels like heaven on earth to me!
  • I could die a happy woman if I spent my last days on earth by the ocean with my love!
