Get to know the photographer
I’m a 21-year-old portrait photographer based in El Paso, Texas, and I believe everyone deserves to feel like the main character in their own story at least once.

Why I Do This
It all started when I was in my senior year of high school, taking senior pics for my friends —
actually, no… this started way before that.
Since I was old enough to hold a camera, I’ve always been that kid with too many interests — drawing, editing, experimenting with anything creative I could get my hands on. But there was just something different about photography. Something about holding a camera that stuck with me.
Somehow, that turned into this. Into storytelling. Into seeing how one photo can bring someone back to a moment or make them feel something they didn’t expect. That’s the part I fell in love with.
What I Create
My work is full of emotion, personality, and love. People have described my photos as looking like movie posters or magazine covers—and honestly, that’s the best compliment I could ask for. I pour all of my creativity and heart into every image, and most times, I end up just as surprised as my clients when the final gallery comes together.
Who I Work With
I love working with grads, creatives, couples, and families—anyone who’s looking for more than just a pretty photo. If you’re someone who wants depth, nostalgia, mood, or just something real, I’m your photographer.
"Jose is the best photographer in El Paso. The entire process of booking was smooth and no issue. The experience of the session itself, was a 10/10. I was very nervous before our session but Jose was welcoming and professional and that helped me calm down and become myself. He has a talent for getting the best shots since he has a talented eye, but he is also patient as well. He also has a gift for perfectly tailoring the pictures, and session to be so personal and intimate. When he sent the official gallery, my girlfriend and I were amazed. With no complaints or issues, I'd recommend booking him to capture your memories. Thank you Jose!"

FAQ
What if I’ve never done a photoshoot before?
You’re not alone. Most of my clients aren’t models—but they still end up looking like they belong on a poster. I’ve got you the whole way through. I’ll guide you during the session so you feel confident and relaxed, and I’ll also send some prep materials beforehand to help you learn simple posing and get comfortable before we even start.
Can I customize a photography package to fit all my needs?
Yes! Most of my packages are designed as starting points. Every session is built around you—your story, your vision, and what matters most. We’ll talk through everything and shape the experience so it fits exactly what you need.
Do you travel for photoshoots outside of El Paso?
Definitely. I’m always open to traveling for sessions. Whether it’s a city a few hours away or a destination you’ve always dreamed of, I’d love to create something meaningful with you. Travel fees may apply depending on distance, but we’ll go over all of that ahead of time.
How long does it take to receive the final photos?
Turnaround times depend on the session type and time of year—some seasons get super busy. For regular sessions, galleries are typically delivered within 1–2 weeks. For weddings and quinceañeras, it can take anywhere from 2 to 8 Months, depending on the complexity and editing load. Select packages also include sneak peeks within a few days, so you get a little taste early on.
