Honored to be a small part of what God is doing in your life.
Hi, I’m Nay, an enthusiast for capturing real joyful moments.
Being behind the lens, is one of my favorite places to be, but if I’m not there? I’m probably sipping on a vanilla caramel latte, on a hike or in my bible! I’m a Latina South Jersey based wedding and portrait photographer, capturing stories, connections, and meaningful moments for over five years. When I’m not photographing in my home studio or a beautiful union, I’m out in nature. Catching sunrises, staying active at the gym, and just embracing moments and experiences with my loved ones. Being in a world where we're constantly moving, photography grounds me, but more than that, Jesus does! My faith has radically changed the way I see photography over the past 2 years, it’s no longer just about taking images, and creating the best compositions, but about truly seeing people, seeing you and serving my clients through this work and gift. It's deepened the way I connect with every couple, family, their stories, because I know each moment is intentionally woven by God. He reminds me to stay present, cherish each moment, and to see the beauty in every story and person. With every session and moment I get to capture, I’m in awe of how extraordinary it is to create together. To preserve the love, joy, and undeniable beauty in the everyday moments God is gently unfolding in our lives.
Through this lens, I see His handiwork! Your love, the raw beautiful, once in a lifetime moments that reflect His grace. Because of this, I take on every session with a warm and empathetic approach, capturing the real through a documentary and artistic eye. Although I’m based in New Jersey, I’ll gladly follow your story wherever it takes us. I’m a girl who loves love, spontaneous moments, traveling, and, most importantly, the incredible growth and chapters God leads us through. It’s that growth, celebrated and shared with the people we love that makes me sooo grateful to be a photographer! And hopefully yours soon ♡!

Serving everyone I meet, and providing a photography experience that feels personal, true to them, and seamless.

THE INSPIRATION
Home
Suburb + city raised with a love for the outdoors. I’ve always been drawn to the high pace energy of every city I travel into. Especially Philadelphia & NYC. I’m inspired by every adventure what can I say!! I try to find creativity in both the familiar and the unexpected and sometimes it just finds me. Sorta like photography, but it might also have to do with my family.
Growing up, I watched my dad document our childhood. At home, school events, and of course family functions. Through film cameras, floppy disk camcorders, and small digital cameras. It’s was something me and my sister didn’t really understand, until now where we’re looking back on years of memories. Some that seem like forever ago, and some just yesterday.
Adventure
The peace I experience in nature, whether by the water, on a trail, or chasing a scenic view. It’s a blessing, time away from the screens, and the busyness of life.
Exploring, road-tripping, and breaking bread with people I love will always be my favorite kind of day. What’s not to love about being outdoors and just present?!
My Favorite Trips so Far
Bali, Indonesia (1st solo)
Lisbon & Lagos, Portugal
Isla Mujeres, Mexico
Life
While drawing is my first passion, photography quickly became my second. I’m inspired by how unique people are and the beauty of the world around us, how God created us with so much love, which is evident in everything.
I wasn’t quite sure if and how I'd follow in my dad’s footsteps, but he takes credit for my love of photography. An I can say he’s surely inspired my love for technology and media. I’ll forever carry a camera or three with me everywhere I go. To document my memories and hopefully leave a legacy of love and moments for my future family to enjoy!
