About
Hey, I'm Arath.
I'm a Latino photographer from North Texas, focused on colorful, cinematic photographs of people and the moments worth celebrating.
My sessions are relaxed and guided, so you never need to show up knowing how to pose.
Whether it's graduation, a family session, an engagement, or a birthday surrounded by everyone you love, my goal is simple:
Make the experience comfortable and give you photographs that actually feel like you.
More about me
I grew up in North Texas, and I've had a camera in my hand for as long as I can remember. Taking pictures was always the thing I came back to, so now I do it for families like yours.
Off the clock, I'm with my wife and our two Shih Tzus, hunting down a good espresso, or planning our next trip.
Hablo español, so the whole family can feel at home during the session, abuelos included.
