As a 40-something, first-generation Cuban American, my upbringing in a family rich with culture has deeply influenced my approach to photography. From a very young age, I distinctly remember falling in love with the old photographs that my grandfather kept in his study.  Although many were of he and my grandmother's youth and my father as a child, there were some of family members that I never got to meet. Family that passed long before I was born, but live on in these beautiful photographs. Although I don't know who the photographers were, what gifts and legacies they've left behind. Those moments they captured have meant and will continue to mean so much to so many. It's all we have left. I found it all to be so inspiring and thus began my passion for photography.

As a wife and mother of four boys (my eldest is eleven and my youngest is one), family holds a special place in my heart. I understand the importance of capturing not only the significant moments but also the subtle nuances that define relationships. As the person in our family who documents all big moments as well as the little moments in between, I may rarely appear in a photograph, but a big part of heart is in every single one.

My journey as a photographer is deeply rooted in the love and joy that family brings, inspiring me to document weddings with a personal touch and an eye for genuine emotion.

Beyond photography, my life is filled with the joys of caring for my beloved pets—a lively Goldendoodle that is my shadow, a sweet Ragdoll cat who is essentially me in feline form, and a charming herd of adorable guinea pigs that truly melt my heart. Their companionship enriches my days and reminds me of the importance of unconditional love and companionship. If I could have become anything else, it would have been a veterinarian.
