Introducing Cruz


Cruz has grown up behind the scenes of our photography business- he was actually the reason it all began back in 2009, when he was just 6 months old. Now, nearly 17 years later, he’s joining the team with a camera in hand and a natural eye for storytelling.


Creative, friendly, and so much fun to be around, Cruz brings a quiet confidence and warm energy to every session. He’s currently interning with us and learning every side of the business, from capturing lifestyle moments and editing images to assisting at weddings and exploring studio work. He’s even done some sports photography for his school and hopes to bring his skills to future travel sessions with us.

Lifestyle & Sports Photographer


We’ve been blown away by how quickly he’s learning, especially when it comes to editing and capturing those blink-and-you’ll-miss-it moments. He’s fantastic with kids, brings a fresh perspective, and reminds us daily why we love what we do.


Cruz is currently saving up for his first car and already thinking like an entrepreneur. We’re so proud to have him by our side as he builds something of his own, right here where it all started!
