About Me
I’m a photographer based in St. Louis, Missouri. Born and raised in Mexico City, I moved to the United States after completing my Ph.D. to pursue postdoctoral training in neuroscience. For over a decade, I worked exclusively as a scientist before deciding to step back to focus on developing my photography skills and building a business.
My journey into photography formally began in 2020 as a hobby, but it quickly blossomed into a passion. Through self-guided learning, keen observation, and hands-on practice, photography has become not only my greatest creative outlet but also an endless source of inspiration.
I truly enjoy crafting flattering images that capture both the essence of a scene and the unique personalities of my subjects. By thoughtfully balancing light and shadow and utilizing depth of field, I aim to infuse every photograph with emotional depth and storytelling while preserving authenticity. My approach is unobtrusive and intuitive, rooted in a deep appreciation for the unique stories unfolding before my eyes.
My mission is to preserve stories through the art of photography, celebrating diversity and individuality in every shot with the utmost respect and admiration. Whether you’re seeking a solo portrait, a romantic couple’s session, a lively family shoot, or a branding session for your business, I work collaboratively with you to create timeless photographs you’ll treasure for years to come.
The Service
The service I offer is professional, client-focused and goal-oriented, designed to meet the professional starndard. I prioritize quality over quantity and work closely with you to ensure an enjoyable and collaborative experience throughout the process. In my approach, you’ll become a collaborator rather than a passive participant.
Here’s how it works:
Booking and Planning
When booking, you’ll fill out a form to outline your project and share your expectations for the session. Please provide as much detail as possible, as your feedback is essential for crafting a plan that ensures you’ll love every image we create together.
After submitting the form, I’ll review your answers and follow up within one business day to confirm details or ask any questions. Open communication is key during this planning phase, feel free to reach out via email at any time to share updates or ask questions.
I’ll compile all the information into a document that outlines the session details, deliverables, and important dates. Once finalized, I’ll send it to you for review and signature, formalizing our agreement.
The Day of the Shoot
On the day of the session, we’ll meet at the agreed location specified in the project plan. What sets my service apart is that it’s goal-oriented rather than time-bound. While I allot up to two hours for the session, we’ll take the time needed to capture all the images required for your project—without feeling rushed.
This timeframe allows us to set up shots, explore multiple locations, change outfits, and take breaks as needed. Time will never be a limiting factor in achieving your goals.
Image Delivery and Final Edits
After the shoot, I’ll perform basic edits—including color correction, exposure adjustments, and geometry—and provide you with a link to an online gallery within 24 hours. From this gallery, you can review, annotate, download, and share your images.
Once you’ve had a chance to explore the collection, you’ll select 25 of your favorite images for further retouching and detailed editing. These selected images will be perfected in both stunning color and elegant black-and-white versions.
The final, retouched images will be delivered via a separate link within seven days of your session. Should you wish to have additional images retouched, they can be ordered at a flat rate of $10 per image.
Follow-Up
Once the final images have been accepted and delivered, I’ll send a follow-up email to ensure your satisfaction and to request feedback about your experience. This step helps me confirm that your expectations were met and allows other customers searching for similar services to find me through your valuable insight
