I believe that meaningful, soul-filled photography begins with connection. That's why I make it a priority to get to know you, and I also think it's important that you know a little bit about me, so here's some history:
Although I'm originally from Puerto Rico and have lived around the world from Central America to Asia, I now consider the Washington DC area home. When I'm not shooting weddings, I love to explore new restaurants with my boyfriend Danny, and go on long walks with our puppy, Ace.
I'm so honored that you're considering me to be part of your wedding day and I look forward to hearing your story.
Your photos should feel like you...
Photography is the Bauer family's call to action. My love for this craft is heavily inspired by my father, an award winning nature photographer, who has documented both the ecological diversity of Latin America for over 40 years and our day-to-day lives.
I believe photography is a deeply important documentarian. Photographs preserver our history - whether it's the ever changing landscape of a national rainforest, or your sweet grandmother's smile on your wedding day. These are moments we can't get back.
This is why I am so deeply invested in not only capturing beautifully curated moments, the ones you'd frame for your mantel, but also the ones you can't stage. The laughs, the tears, the hugs, the dancing. It's in these moments that a legacy is commemorated. Every person on your wedding day is important to me, and they each deserve to be photographed in all of their glory.

A POP QUIZ
My goal is to capture timeless photographs that make you smile, even as the years pass and trends change. Among these classic images, you'll also find a few that are fun, creative, and that can't necessarily be duplicated.
You've got enough on your plate through the wedding planning process, let me take some of the load off! I'll be your guide through this experience by scouting out the perfect portrait locations, building your photography timeline, helping you visualize your most desired images, and more.
You should enjoy your day to the fullest - from getting ready in your beautiful suite to shaking your thang on the dance floor. I'll make sure that all the planning is done in advance so that, come wedding day, you won't be sweating the small stuff.
