About

The first time someone called me, “a Renaissance woman”, I paused. I had never seen myself that way. But as I reflected on my lifelong tendency to teach myself, to follow curiosity wherever it led, the description began to make sense.

I have always been drawn to learning, to exploring artistic, social, and intellectual paths with equal devotion. Photography is one of those paths.

It came into my life after I left Chile in the 1980s, but it truly found its voice years later while I was volunteering with nonprofit organizations in Chicago. In those spaces, surrounded by people who care deeply, I witnessed humanity at its most generous and tender. I felt moved and I wanted to preserve those moments.

When I lift my camera, I do so with humility and reverence. Every moment holds the unexpected, a quiet reminder of how much there is still to learn.

Photography, for me, is a form of poetry. It asks for presence. It asks for patience. It asks that I listen before I see. To photograph a child, I must meet innocence with playfulness. To photograph celebration, I must observe with the eyes of the heart. To photograph nature, I must first practice silence. In its subtle language, photography continually teaches me how to be fully here.

Over the years, I have had the honor of photographing intimate weddings, children and adults, environmental campaigns, fair-trade products, art installations, and the quiet eloquence of nature.

This multidisciplinary approach extends to my advocacy. When I am not behind the lens for others, I dedicate my time to personal projects that support Traffic Stops Where Love Begins . I founded this nonprofit to serve as a creative bridge—using artistic campaigns and public discussions to shed light on the realities of modern-day slavery. Through this work, I raise vital funds to support my own educational awareness programs and to provide financial grants to established organizations that deliver direct schooling and vocational training for survivors.

As my journey unfolds, I will continue honoring what photography means to me. It is more than a medium; it is about the sacred act of witnessing. It is about honoring what is fleeting and, through art and advocacy, remembering our shared humanity.
