1-on-1 sessions

I’m a photographer and multidisciplinary artist with roots in Mexico and home in South Minneapolis. My work is about connection—capturing the beauty in everyday life, telling honest stories, and holding space for people to be seen.

I offer one-on-one sessions for aspiring photographers, whether you’re just picking up a camera or trying to find your unique voice. I teach the technical stuff—like camera settings, lighting, and editing—but also how to trust your eye and tell stories with heart. My teaching style is calm, patient, and hands-on. You’ll learn by doing, walking, observing, and making.
