I am a Headshot, Portrait, Event, Sports, and Fine Art Photographer based in Lake Forest, IL

 I am dedicated to creating creative, one-of-a-kind images for my clients, to help preserve their memories for a lifetime, or help increase their business. I am President of The Garden Photographic Society (Chicago Botanic Garden), where my photographs have won Best of Show and other Awards. My photos have been on display at The Chicago Botanic Garden’s “Nature in View” photography show since 2017.
My Fine Art photos were recently on sale in 2021 at Curt's Café in Evanston, (a non-profit café for at-risk youth). I was also recently a photographer for the last four seasons of the Windy City Bulls (G League).​​​​​​​ In 2019 I co-photographed the 2019 American Medical Association's 4-day Conference at the Hyatt Regency, where I did candids, the delegate portraits, and all of the group photos. In 2023 I photographed the American Medical Association Alliance dinner.
I have been a volunteer photographer for District 67 Schools, The Cub Scouts of America, The Lake Forest/Lake Bluff History Museum, The LF/LB Chamber of Commerce,  The Gorton Center, Curt's Café, and The Ashokan Center (NY). I was born in Havana, Cuba.
