With 15 years of photography experience, I have dedicated 7 years to Bella Baby Photography—capturing over 3,000 newborns in hospitals—and the past 2 years to Bella Life Photography, expanding my creative journey.
As a native Spanish speaker, I learned English as my second language. Additionally, being the child of deaf parents, I am fluent in sign language, which has enriched my communication skills and deepened my understanding of diverse forms of expression.
At home, I am the wife of a talented musician, videographer, and fellow photographer, and a proud cat mother. In my free time, I enjoy climbing, which keeps me grounded and energized.
I have a deep appreciation for the unique and unconventional, finding inspiration in the whimsical world of Tim Burton and his characters. I am drawn to the unusual and the quirky, yet I balance that with a sweet nature, a love for perfection, and a commitment to originality in all that I do.
