About me

I'm a photographer who loves the art of photography. The first time I saw my prints I felt a connection with my camera and with the art. I describe myself as a person that likes to go beyond the limits and I will work hard to reach my goals. I always give 110% effort in all I do. Since I can remember, photography has been my hobby. Eleven years ago my dream of earning a living through my photography came true. I was given the opportunity as an in-house photographer for a well known advertising agency. I never thought I would work doing what I love to do most. I am grateful for every photo shoot I am involved in and where my creativity and talent and flourish. Never in my wildest dreams did I think my wish and dream of being a professional photographer would be what I do every day.  

I was born and raised in Mazatlan a little town in the Pacific Coast of Mexico, I lived there until I was 26, I moved to Los Angeles nineteen years ago where I met my beautiful wife who has a love for cooking and baking. We both love to travel and learn about different places in the world. We love to take road trips so I can stop and photograph whenever and whatever I want. I am the seventh child in my family - six boys and one girl. I am saddened that I don't have many childhood pictures of myself or my family. The longing for pictures of great moments in my childhood motivated my love for photography. I now photograph my life's moments which my son Noah is the main subject. Capturing him living life is one of my greatest photography accomplishments. I know how special my client's unforgettable occasions and priceless moments with their loved ones are and I am very eager and respectful to get the best shots! On a daily basis I am given the gift to photograph and be a part of the creative process for worldwide print and digital campaigns. On my off time I explore my love for capturing through my lens - planet earth. All the beauty around us in natural landscapes, manmade structures, human beings in different aspects of their lives. I also integrate my love for sports with my photography. From little league games for family and clients to professional games I attend - I get to capture great talent in action. Thanks for letting me share a little bit about myself.
