I started making art to show those I love that they inspire others and that they, too, are works of art.

Now, I've expanded and I love doing portraits with an abstract twist. Thank you for checking out my page and I hope you enjoy!

Winter makes it so difficult to photography because of the palette of mostly browns and grays but yesterday was a beautiful day! The weather really cooperated for a great photo walk. Thank you again to all that came out 🕺🏽

One of my favorite photos of the ballet. But I want to talk for a sec. This experience was an example of do it afraid. I’ve never seen ballet up to this point but I imagined it must be pretty. When I reached out to the ballet company, I figured they’d say no because I had no experience. I did a night of research the night before the rehearsal and that helped me get into the right headspace. But when I got to the auditorium, the impostor syndrome went on overdrive. This was such a unique situation I had never been in. The photographer that was there pulled out his two cameras with fancy gear and I was like oh god I’m way over my head here. He had done all these shows before. Everyone knew more than me. But as soon as I clicked that shutter the first time, it was game time. I know I can take a great photo. But what if I asked to be here and then all my photos flop. The dancers and the stage were often dimly lit which makes my job a lot more difficult. The impostory syndrom thrived . As the performance went, I just let jesus take the wheel. I entered a flow state of taking photos without fear. And wow. These photos turned out to be one of my favorite photography sessions I’ve done. So so many photos that I absolutely LOVE. And so many photos that y’all love as these became my most IG-liked photos of the past 2 years. The ballet provided so many opportunities for great photos and I’m so glad I could capture them. This year I hope to keep leaning into the scary, uncomfortable situations.

I had so much fun taking photos with Canyon Concert Ballet. I had never seen a ballet before I reached out to take photos for them. I was intrigued by the elegance of ballet and how my photography could capture that. And I am SO happy w these, they definitely exceeded my expectations. The performance was fun, the costumes were gorgeous, the music slapped, the dancers and the crew all did such an amazing job. Check them out if they still have tickets for tonight or tomorrow!

Come hang out, go for a walk, and take pics on Saturday, Feb 7th at Riverbend Ponds. My primary goal is to meet people and hang out: the pictures are secondary. A lot of us struggle to make friends and find our people so this is a way to work on that. All skill levels encouraged! DM me if you’re interested so I can keep a headcount.

Mark your calendars! I’ll host a photo walk on Saturday, Feb 7th for golden hour. I have a place in mind here in Fort Collins, I just want to scout it out first. If you don’t know what a photo walk is, it’s a way to meet people and enjoy some time outside. We’ll meet somewhere and we’ll go on a walk to take photos. You’re more than welcome to come as a beginner or as an expert. You’re also welcome to join us if you’re not a photographer. DM me if you’re interested!

This is one of my favorite photos of my trip to Puerto Rico. I took it where my grandparents used to live like 20 years ago. I hadnt visited in so long since they moved and later passed away. The house is still in our family so I got to go and it felt so nostalgic. The house is getting remodeled and much of the house felt unrecognizable but I remember the trees. The trees felt like when I was running in the backyard as a kid. It’s a photo that reminds me of where I come from. It’s a photo of my grandparents without getting to see them.

the December memories

Being from Puerto Rico, I live pretty damn far from lots of friends and family. Life is pretty different here. When I think about my photograpy, it’s a way to show my world to family and friends. Every time I see a deer or a squirrel, I think of my parents who arent used to seeing those animals. I always think some of my childlike awe is carrying my parents reactions to the things they dont see often. I’ll still get excited about a deer, let alone a big horned sheep or a moose. I hope people can see my world thru me but I also hope to inspire others to see the beauty in their world.
