BIENVENIDOS TO MY STORY...
​
Some people will go their whole life never really discovering what their true passion is. Had I never bought my first camera in 2011, I too would have been right along side with said folks. 

In a nutshell, my life isn't documented. From the time I was born until about 25, there is only a handful of images of me. As a father, I wanted to give my girls what I didn't have growing up, memories to look back on. The sole purpose for buying a camera was to just get one good picture of my daughters. That's it!

Truth is, I never really wanted to be a wedding photographer. Photography was only a hobby that later turned into a passion. That passion later led me to start shooting 1hr sessions. Those hour long session became too short for because I wanted to shoot all day. I asked myself, "How can I get out and and shoot more... that's it... I can shoot weddings!" lol  

As strange as it may sound, I still didn't know if I could be a wedding photographer, I just wanted to assist and carry bags. I thought it would be cool to reach out to several wedding photographers and ask them if they needed help. It wasn't until NONE of them ever replied to my emails or voicemails that I said:

"NOW I want really want to be a wedding photographer! I'LL DO THIS MYSELF!"
