The catalogue above is the whole of what is offered, grouped into 9 families: couples & proposals; weddings & elopements; family & maternity; travel & celebrations; quinceañeras & events; personal brand & headshots; villas, hotels & restaurants; video; drone.

A service earns its own page when somebody searches for it by name, when what it delivers is genuinely different, and when its page would say something the page next to it does not. Fail any of the three and it belongs inside another service as a paragraph rather than as a URL.

What did earn a page is the shape of this market in Mexico. A destination wedding is planned from abroad and photographed in a place the couple may have seen once. A trash-the-dress session happens after the wedding, in the dress, somewhere the ceremony could not go. XV años coverage follows a family celebration with its own order of events. A Día de Muertos session is tied to a few days of the year, and drone work answers to the Agencia Federal de Aviación Civil (AFAC) and to every hotel and protected area that sets its own rule. None of those are variations on a portrait.

Each service carries a starting price in US dollars. It covers the photographer’s time, the selection and the colour work afterwards, and a private gallery at full resolution. Permit fees, site entry and venue charges that a location imposes are not included, and where a session needs a permit, the cost is named before you book.

The number that makes those prices comparable is the one most photographers leave out: how many edited photographs you actually receive. It is stated on every service here rather than described as a selection, because "from $150" means one thing at ten images and something different at forty. Session length is published for the same reason.

Where two services look alike, each page says plainly which one you want. A couple session starts at $150 and an engagement session at $180, and the difference is what a save-the-date needs. A headshot session starts at $180 and a personal brand session at $220: one answers what you look like, the other what you do, and if a photograph of your face is all you need, the headshot page says so.
