Freelance & Fine Art Fotographer

: images that evoke emotion :

 

 

 

I “sleep” in Black Mountain, but “live” in Asheville, NC

with my husband, Jorge Sr. and our fur babies.

We have two adult children, Ciera and Jorge Jr.

 Originally from Miami, Fl. we moved to Western NC in 2003

and for the first time, I truly felt she was “Home.” 

I’m a self taught photographer whose passion is street photography,

I enjoy documenting people, architecture and life as it happens. 

I am very fortunate to be able to do what I love. 

 As an artist I often combine my love of photography and art

to create fine art images and offer my unique style to clients. 

A word, quote or feeling may inspire me.

 

My goal as a photographer is to be creative, bring out feelings and emotions. 

I'm not afraid to do things differently; I love to standout rather than blend in

and my hope is that my photography reflects all of these things to.

 

“Sometimes you just have to let your heart & soul guide you.”
