Hello, I am Martha, a seasoned and published photographer with over 13 years behind the lens.
My first approach to photography was in UNARTE where I studied over 60 hours of photography in 2012. During the following years I attended workshops and seminars with very talented photographers, that inspired me to become a true professional.
I am also a certified educator and I believe that photographers must educate and improve constantly.
Photography is not just about people and emotions, it is also about the light, choosing the right location, learning and having the skills to capture memorable images.

Education
If you are here, is because you are interested in learning photographer or become a better photographer.
Each mentorship session and class it is tailored to your needs and areas of interest. Let me be part of your journey as a growing photographer!
My areas of expertise are: Maternity, Couples and Families. I also have tons of experience in events (quinceañera and weddings) photography.
My photography classes are designed around what each student wants to learn and achieve. Rather than following a one-size-fits-all approach, every lesson is tailored to the student's interests, experience level, and personal goals.
Beginners can build a strong foundation by learning camera basics, exposure, lighting, and composition, while more experienced photographers can explore advanced techniques, creative storytelling, off-camera lighting, post-processing, or developing their own photographic style.
The goal of every class is to provide practical, hands-on learning that helps students gain confidence, improve their skills, and create photographs they are proud of. You set the direction, and together we'll build a learning experience that matches your interests and helps you reach your photography goals.
