I started Real Estate photography in the D.R. more than 12 years ago. Having Punta Cana as my learning spot and raise a beautiful family in the warm waters of the Caribbean, helped me to grow as a photographer & as a human being.
In USA I am so glad to have had the oportunity to live & work on my RE photography in differents places like Florida, Virginia & Texas; every city is different but special. Meeting realtors and home owner's during the last 5 years and help them to sale & rent their properties through my images is what brings me here today.
Let's ride with me on this journey of lights & corners, blue skies & awesome spaces and let me help you make your dreams come true.
