For as long as I can remember, I have had a passion for photography. I first started photography while in high school taking a photography class and working for our school yearbook.
I later photographed my first wedding and that is where I learned to capture all the love, joy and happinesses of the day and I knew immediately that is what made my heart full!
Hi, I'm Miguel
n an era where there are so many wonderful photographers to choose from, I am honored to work with so many amazing clients, and I sincerely thank you for your interest in my work and services.

Even though I was accepted to Brooks Institute of Photography in Santa Barbara, CA. I wasn't able to attend because of the cost of tuition. I continued my education at Spokane Falls Community College and then Central Washington University (CWU). At CWU I received my bachelors degree in interdisciplinary studies with a minor in psychology. Honestly, I believe my psychology minor is what helps me the most with photography, allowing me to understand the needs of my clients, their personalities and how to best capture their special day.
My background story

Life

When I am not photographing clients, I am most likely chasing the sun to our second home in Palm Springs. I love to run, workout, ride bikes and paddle board. I try to stay as active as possible and enjoy the beautiful outdoors.
But in all honesty my very favorite thing to do is stay home with my husband and our two pugs Bella & Frank. "I love cuddling those two!"

I’ve been fortunate enough to have the opportunity to travel to many places not just for my work but to savor the beauty around us!
Travel makes you more open-minded and knowledgeable of other people’s experiences. I have been to more than 15 countries and have had the opportunity of experiencing many cultures and communities.

My husband and I wanted our engagement session somewhere special and sentimental. So when I asked Miguel to hike 5 miles round trip (in the dark) for our sunset session,
he didn’t hesitate to say yes!

Miguel is sunshine in human form! We had so much fun during our shoot and the photos are absolutely incredible. The preview alone had us over the moon—we couldn’t be happier!”

“Our engagement photos with Miguel were absolutely amazing! He made us feel so comfortable, kept us laughing the whole time, and captured us just being ourselves. We love every single shot and are so grateful for the memories he created for us.” – Cassie & Kyle
From the beginning, Miguel was incredibly kind and helpful, offering thoughtful suggestions on everything from outfit choices to the perfect time of year and location for our shoot. He made us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera, and his guidance with poses and angles really helped bring out the emotions we were feeling.
Working with Miguel has been absolutely amazing! We first fell in love with his bright photography style and from our first meeting with him we had no doubt we wanted him as our wedding photographer. He has made taking pictures feel so natural and effortless and he will absolutely be our first choice the next time we need a photographer.
