I am 25 year old mother to my two year old son Marcos. I graduated with honors from Des Moines Area Community College with an Advanced certificate in photography in May of 2024.
I flourish in a creative environment and surrounded by other artists. When I am around other creatives and we are bouncing ideas off of each other it doesn’t feel like work and that’s always been my goal. When creating this brand my objective was to create a job that did not limit or hinder me from new experiences. This is the main reason why i shoot as a stylized photographer because i want the opportunity to have a vast range of subjects and concepts.
I have been working to add a new service this year which would be completely funded by grants and donations. This idea originated from when i was pregnant with my son Marcos. I was young and was not in the finical situation to afford the maternity shoot i was dreaming of. I was going to save and pay for it closer to my due date but ended up having my son 2 months early. Not only was it a stressful month in the NICU but i had a really difficult pregnancy as well and unfortunately was not able to have any professional photos to capture the beautiful side of my pregnancy. My goal is to not only fund professional shoots for mothers who cannot afford it but to also give out free sessions for new borns and young children. I was unable to afford a newborn session and due to my son being in the NICU for a month i wasn’t allowed to have anyone but me and his father in the room. I hope once the funding comes in I can bless all the hard working mothers with their moment of feeling beautiful and appreciated.
