Fitness portraits by the Lake: A summer session with Steve in Chicago

Natural fitness portraits — Featuring Steve & his dog Jake

Last summer, I had the pleasure of photographing Steve, a man in his mid-50s who’s deeply committed to his fitness journey and overall well-being 🏋️‍♂️.

He asked me for simple, natural portraits taken outdoors near Chicago’s Lakeshore, where he could be shirtless and relaxed, showing his progress and physical transformation with authenticity — not through perfection, but through confidence.

The session had a laid-back vibe, capturing both portraits and lifestyle moments. In some shots, Steve is joined by his dog Jake, who also got a little spotlight with his own mini photo session 🐶📸.

These types of portraits are about documenting growth and personal pride — and doing so in a setting that feels safe, serene, and empowering.

📍Whether you’re into fitness, nature, or simply want to capture this chapter of your life, I’m available in Chicago and the U.S. for outdoor or lakeside photo sessions that celebrate you — just as you are.

📩 Let’s schedule your shoot

En algunas fotos lo acompaña su perro Jake, a quien también le hice su propia mini sesión 🐾.

📍Estoy disponible en Chicago y EE. UU. para retratos similares al aire libre o junto al lago.

Summer Throuple Photoshoot — Celebrating Love and Diversity

A Natural, Casual Throuple Photoshoot in Santiago 🌞

In 2019, I had the chance to photograph something truly special in Santiago, Chile — a photo session with a throuple (a polyamorous relationship of three people), instead of a traditional 2 people couple.

We chose a casual summer morning for the shoot, with soft light and a relaxed mood. The goal was to capture their connection in a way that felt real, spontaneous, and intimate — avoiding overly posed or staged shots.

We focused on their natural chemistry, their daily interactions, and the joy they shared. Today, these three wonderful people live in Spain, but I’m honored to have documented that moment in their journey.

📍Based now in Chicago, I’m open to working with couples and throuples who want to capture their love stories in a natural, respectful, and creative way.

✨ Love comes in many shapes — and all of them are worth celebrating.
📩 Let’s talk about your photoshoot

Sesión de fotos a un throuple en Santiago, Chile

Estas fotos las tomé en 2019 en Santiago, Chile, a una relación de tres chicos (lo que se llama un “throuple”). Fue una sesión casual en verano, buscando capturar su conexión de manera natural y cotidiana, sin poses forzadas.

Hoy ellos viven en España, pero comparto estas fotos porque celebran el amor libre y diverso 🌈.

📍Ahora vivo en Chicago, y estoy disponible para sesiones similares con parejas o throuples.

LGBTQ+ Engagement Photos: A Natural, Romantic Session with Ricardo & Gerardo

My First Same-Sex Couple Photoshoot

As a visual storyteller, this engagement session with Ricardo and Gerardo was a meaningful milestone — my very first time photographing a same-sex couple 💫.

We shot this in a quiet park in Santiago, Chile, during the soft light of a morning, aiming for a calm and romantic atmosphere. The goal was to create natural moments — poses that felt real, not staged, and full of emotion.

Even though Ricardo and Gerardo are no longer together, I’m proud to share this session today. The result was visually beautiful, full of tenderness, connection, and light.
