About Me

CURRENT MISSION

The world is soooooo big, it's ridiculous to be just stuck in one place

ABOUT ME

I grew up in a farm, so i love all kind of animals. I studied graphic design in my hometown, then i was creative director of a bakery company (nom nom) For life reasons i decide to move to Playa del Carmen and start working as a photographer, BEST DECISION OF MY LIFE! Now im a freelance wedding photographer, and the good thing about my job its that i can carry my office with me ;) I love to travel and all outdoor sports like kayaking, climbing, trekking, especially mountain biking, but now im a little out of condition haha. Im back in Durango but just for a while, i have plans to travel to Tailandia, indochina in general (its one of my bucket list) so... i have a lot of work and fingers crossed for this to happen.

PHILOSOPHY

I'm no fan of making long term plans, because you never know what will happen with the passage of time, I'm an impulsive person who knows how to seize opportunities that arise. Im a catholic with a little bit of church issues, but not with my beliefs, i practice yoga and im reading The teaching of Buda now (Life of pi? anyone?? haha) (self)Respect and (self)sincerity are values that i appreciate A LOT, if we don't have any of them we are screw.
