I'm an editorial and documentary photographer based in San Diego, using photography as a tool for storytelling and connection.

Born in Mexico City and raised in Washington State, I am drawn to stories of identity, culture, and human connection. As an immigrant, my experience navigating different cultures continues to shape the way I see the world and the stories I tell. Through portraiture and documentary photography, I create honest imagery that reflects the beauty and diversity of everyday life. Motherhood continues to shape my perspective and my work.

After moving to Los Angeles to study photography, I spent six transformative months traveling throughout Baja California. Today, living and working in Southern California deepens my appreciation for a bicultural experience that sits at the heart of my work.

Outside of photography, I’m usually with my family, paying attention to the quiet, everyday moments that often find their way into my work.

Not in California? That’s totally fine—I’m always up for traveling for the right project.
