Meet Me

Hello hello, my name is Cruz!

I am a California-born, Vegas-native, a barely-functioning-Jeep owner, a dog and cat mutha, a 2nd generation Chicana, an AQUARIUS, a goth at heart and appreciator of all things dark and romantic, a silly nerd, a hair-dying punk, a music lover, and as of 2024, a mom to the cutest little boy I’ve ever laid my eyes on.

Meet us

I currently reside in Las Vegas, NV with my wonderful husband, Fernando, and our baby boy in our spoopy townhouse. We love listening to music, going to concerts, watching and talking about movies like we have our own podcast, and we love traveling and exploring when we can, just enjoying each other’s company.

Although it’s me manning the cameras, the editing, and most of the emails (with my assistant occasionally hopping in), you’ll also probably see my husband from time to time as my assistant carrying all the goods that it takes to capture your special day 🖤

 
 

My Love Letter to You

I’ve been photographing ever since I was a kid, taking photos on point and shoots of the family whenever I could. I wanted to have something for us to remember and to preserve. That’s still very true to this day. I am constantly inspired by the beauty and mundaneness in everything.

I want to give you something good, something badass, something that will make you feel nostalgic. I am honestly super excited that you’re here. I am excited at the opportunity to get to know you and to show you the world through my lens. 

I really just can’t wait to capture all of the things that are your life. My goal is to capture and photograph your story and your time with love, nostalgia, and pure radness so that you have something to look back on and re-live and feel again. If you’re finding yourself curious, inspired, or ready to explore together, let’s start the magic and please feel free to hit me up with a quick ‘hello’! I can’t wait to hear from you!

Yours truly,
Cruz
