A little color, a lot of flavor 🌮✨

La Doña Cantina brings the vibrant flavors of Guadalajara and Baja California to life in every dish. Colorful, playful, full of personality, and definitely a feast for the eyes.

I’ve had the pleasure of helping bring their dishes to life through photography since they first opened, and it’s always so much fun capturing food with this much character.

Good food deserves good photos… and these dishes (and drinks) make my job pretty easy. 🤩

Today is World Photography Day, and I want to celebrate every single photographer and creator out there.

I am constantly inspired by so many of you. 🤩✨

People often think this job is all fun and creativity, and while it absolutely can be, there are also long days, challenges, uncertainty, self doubt, and a lot of hard work behind the scenes.

And honestly? I wouldn’t trade it for anything.🤗

I love what I do. I love that my camera has allowed me to meet incredible people, tell meaningful stories, and help bring someone else’s vision and dream to life.✨

To every client who has trusted me over the years, thank you. You helped me build a career that I’m incredibly proud of.♥️

But the best part of this journey has been the community.

The photographers, creators, chefs, restaurant owners, marketers, and small business owners who believe in supporting one another.

My entire business was built through word of mouth, recommendations, and genuine connections.🙌🏾

We share opportunities. We cheer each other on. We recommend one another.

There is no competition in my creative hub. There is room for everyone.

Kindness goes a long way, and this community proves that every single day.

Happy World Photography Day. Keep creating. ❤️

The best part about living in San Diego? Mexico is literally next door. 🇲🇽♥️

Yesterday’s adventure started with a trolley ride across the border with my friend Juliana Rillos who jumped right into the adventure, to finally try Restaurante Caesar’s Tijuana the original Caesar salad where it was invented. And let me tell you… Americans completely ruined the recipe 😱 The original version was absolutely outstanding. Honestly, one of the best salads I’ve ever had.✨

The food was incredible, but what always stands out to me in Mexico is the hospitality. The service is just different, and it’s something I always appreciate.

After lunch, we spent a couple hours walking around TJ exploring… 🤩

And the cherry on top? Crossing back into the U.S. took us less than 5 minutes thanks to Global Entry and our SENTRI passes. Without it, the wait could have easily been 3 hours.

Who would come with me next time? 🙋🏽‍♀️

POV: You live in Mission Bay during king tide, so you go location scouting at 10 p.m. 🌊📸

Tonight we survived another king tide! 😂

I had to go see for myself how high the water was getting in my neighborhood. Thankfully, it wasn’t as crazy as I expected, but the high water definitely created some pretty cool photo opportunities.

What you see: a perfect scoop of Stella Jean’s Ice Cream Mixed Berry ice cream. 🍓🍦
What you don’t see: everything it took to get the shot. 😅

From styling the ingredients and creating the scene to chasing the right light, capturing movement and making every little detail look delicious… food photography is so much more than taking a picture.
This reel gives you a little behind the scenes of the creative process I love most: turning ingredients into a visual story.
And on a hot summer Monday in San Diego, with the kids back at school, there’s honestly no better time for ice cream. ☀️
Quick note: the Mixed Berry flavor was a special weekend collab with Summer Fridays and is no longer available. But the summer flavors are still here, and trust me… they’re all SO good.
Summer in San Diego + Stella Jean’s = pretty much perfection. 🙋🏽‍♀️✨

The story behind these photos ✨

A few weeks ago, I met 𝔹𝕒𝕣𝕓𝕒𝕣𝕒 while photographing the Valora Circle event, and we connected instantly.

I fell in love with her brand Use Your Words Project | Intentional Clothing and had to buy one of her T shirts. It says, “In a relationship with myself.” Honestly, it couldn’t have described this season of my life better.

Not long after, she reached out about product and lifestyle images for her website, and that little email turned into a full production.

First came two days of transforming and upgrading my garage studio, something I’d been putting off for a while. Now I’m even more excited to create there.

Then came the fun part: planning the shoot, building the mood board, choosing the Luciana Vilaça and DAPHNE models, and bringing the vision to life together.

On shoot day, Brazil was playing in the Women’s World Cup, so we had the game on in the background between setups, which made the day even more fun.

When I delivered the gallery, Babi loved the images so much she uploaded them to her website that same day.

Moments like these remind me why I love what I do: meeting amazing people, helping bring their vision to life, and creating images that tell their story. This is how I’ve built my business, one loyal, strong community connection at a time.

And the best part? We’re already planning the next shoot this week. I can’t wait to share what we’re creating next.

The beach belongs to Mexico today. 🇲🇽
Mission Beach was a sea of green, white, and red. The fans completely took over the sand and the boardwalk, and the energy was impossible not to smile about.
One of my favorite things about the World Cup is seeing people from every corner of the world proudly cheering for their countries. Different flags, different languages, one incredible celebration of the beautiful game. ⚽🌎
