About Me
THANK YOU FOR STOPPING BY
Born in Venezuela and now rooted in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Asheville, I create photography that blends fine-art intentionality with soulful storytelling. As a mother of two (and keeper of a spoiled cat), I’ve learned that beauty is found in fleeting, unposed moments, the way laughter fills a room, the way a glance lingers, the way love reveals itself quietly and boldly at once.
My approach is candid, not conventional, because I believe the most powerful images are the ones that hold truth. At the same time, I love exploring playful, creative ways to make art together working on concepts and ideas beyond the unposed, so your gallery carries not only heartfelt storytelling but also a touch of editorial refinement. Each frame is an invitation: to feel, to remember, and to return to the essence of what matters most.

FINE ART WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY WITH A TOUCH OF editorial
My Philosophy
As photographers, we have the important task to create an overall experience that can make our clients feel safe, heard and portrayed in their purest form. In the years of experience in making genuine connections with clients, has led to final images that reflect my subject's satisfaction. But what really fuels my growth is the feedback that I receive at the end of each journey. I'm forever grateful and moved by the love that I have received after every session and knowing that it's just the start of connections that I get to maintain and document for years to come.
Eve and Meghan ✨
We spent a beautiful afternoon wandering the lush trails along the Parkway for their engagement session. The colors, season, the peaceful mountains, and the way these two adore each other made it such a joy to witness and capture.
I can’t wait to celebrate their wedding this fall at @thevenueavl Until then 🥂
Marie and Matthew 🌿
A pair that saw rain coming, and decided to play in it. Their day was a dream, because of all of the beautiful elements they so carefully curated, but most importantly, because the joy they shared throughout, rain or shine, they celebrated each hour with presence and gratitude.
Congratulations to them and to the incredible team that made this day such a memorable experience 🤍
A little break from wedding content…🤍
A love note to the families who continue to grow in front of my lens and to the way my relationship with each of you has grown right alongside you.
Last season was filled with muddy boots, mountain sunsets, babies behind the wheel, siblings rolling around in laughter, and parents holding on just a little tighter. These are the fleeting days.
Spring family sessions are now booking, and spots are limited 🌿
So grateful for every memory captured this past season🤍
Once upon a time at @magnoliahousehotsprings , when I realized the wallpaper matched the outfit. Getting used to wear all black for weddings for a long time, I’m starting to let some color in.
I’ve come to really love the rhythm of my work seasons, slower months to envision growth, continue learning (it truly never ends), reconnect, recharge, and meet the new couples and stories I’ll get to document.
Feeling inspired and excited for the 2026 season with only a few Saturdays left available. 🍃☕️

Engagement sessions are more than creating beautiful portraits. They’re the opportunity for us to build trust, find your rhythm, and create together, so your wedding day feels effortless in front of the camera.
Remembering their last summer’s engagement session. Shoot in digital and film 🎞️
Counting down to their spring wedding 🤍
Drew and Shelby 🍃
Color therapy for this winter day, a reminder of what a North Carolina mountain wedding feels like on those warm summer days.
Shelby and Drew celebrated their big day surrounded by wildflowers, meadows, and that summer golden light. From the sweetest getting ready moments to butterflies making a special appearance during their ceremony, every part of this day felt so alive. One of my favorite things about photographing outdoor weddings is how nature becomes part of the story.
Still swooning over this celebration at @emeraldridgenc ✨
Aleisha and Geordie 🤍
From a memorable engagement session at the farmers market where their story began, to basking in the beautiful light as they celebrated an intimate wedding at @thencarboretumevents every moment of this day was so intentional.
We wandered the parkway together (thank you for the playful energy you brought into these), and ended the evening surrounded by the warmth of home and the people who love them most. I felt so welcomed into these meaningful moments.
What began as a family tradition, cutting the cake with the family heirloom sword, revealed an unexpected serendipity, they chose to exchange vows on the very same date engraved on it, without ever knowing.
Congratulations again, you two. I can’t wait to witness the milestones to come. 🍃
Nina and Brent ✨
I have so many “pinch me” moments doing what I do, and most of them come from the connections that feel almost serendipitous.
Meeting Nina and Brent, and sharing these moments and conversations behind the camera, was one of them.
The way they love each other, the intention they hold for the life they’re building and the vision they’re creating for their wedding day, it’s something truly special.
Photographing their engagement at the Biltmore felt like stepping into a fairytale. And knowing I get to document the next chapter this fall makes my heart so full.
I truly can’t wait. 🤍
Margaux and Matt 🍃
Venue: @hawkandhawthorne
Looking at all the moments captured from last season, I am reflecting on what it means to fine tune our creative voice, vision and presence. Understanding how it all plays an important role on the collaborative process that it’s to document moments, both as they naturally occur and playfully directed, and the trust not only from couples but in oneself to know when to make the call, click the shutter, hype the subject, be quiet, be present.
To hold reverence for the craft, and for the human stories on the other side of the lens, is what I hope to keep cultivating with every season ahead.
And yes… more film, always. (Peak at some of my favorite film moments here !)
Margaux and Matt, thank you for the trust, the play, and the beauty you conjured with such grace and joy.
Congratulations 🥂
Jenn and Jessica 🤍
A windy mountaintop. Two rings. So much joy 🌈
A double proposal on top of the world, and a love that felt as infinite as the view. Thank you both for the opportunity to capture those smiles and braving the weather with me. So so worth it!
Ollie and Sean
Reminiscing on this gorgeous warm summer soft light and day. Surrounded by their friends and family. Yesterday’s Spaces was such a perfect atmosphere for a day filled with lush greens, garden games and joy all around.
Some film moments sprinkled and space to slow down and enjoy all the details ✨
Excited for these winter weeks and season to share more highlights of my 2025. What a fantastic year it was!
“To pay attention, this is our endless and proper work.”
— Mary Oliver
We went from playful waterfall mist
to mountaintop golden hour, then settled into the quiet blue hour. A reminder to honor the flow, in the light, in the landscape, and in the way we connect with each other.
Margaret & Nick,
thank you for trusting me with this moment. 💙
