Photography Projects
Photography is both a creative outlet and a form of connection for me. I take photos for others, from portraits to promotional content, but I also shoot for the simple joy of capturing a feeling, a moment, or a mood. Whether I’m behind the camera for a client project or out exploring with my lens just for fun, I love using photography to tell visual stories that feel personal and intentional.
Kappa Delta Chi Active House
This photoshoot was created for my sorority to highlight our active members in a style that felt both academic and playful. I directed and captured all the images using a 90–300mm lens, focusing on composition and mood to reflect our unique vibe. We’re known for being “too cute,” so we leaned into that identity with soft, light-hearted poses and a studious setting. Editing was done by Ivette Pita Ruiz, and together we brought the vision to life with a balance of charm and polish that felt true to who we are.
Fuego Executive Board
This photoshoot was for Fuego Dance Crew, a group known for their fiery energy and bold presence. We leaned into that identity from the very first image, capturing an intense, powerful moment where every member looks serious and confident. I directed and shot the photos with the goal of highlighting their strength, unity, and passion for performance. Throughout the shoot, I focused on maintaining that strong, commanding tone, making sure every image radiated the same confidence that defines Fuego.
Other Photos
This is a selection of photos I’ve taken for friends through my freelance photography work. Each shoot is a chance to experiment with style, lighting, and mood while capturing people in a way that feels natural and true to them.
