Capturing the moment is a universal desire that resonates with everyone. Despite being the official photographer at events, it's clear that everyone yearns for their own snapshot of time, their personal capture of the unfolding story.


I have selected three photos that encapsulate this sentiment, each telling a story that speaks volumes beyond mere words.


  • First: The narrative unfolds at the wedding of Nancy and Brian, specifically at the pivotal moment of cutting the wedding cake. Positioned and ready, I was all set to capture this iconic scene. However, a sudden commotion behind me caught my attention. Turning around, I was greeted by a lively ensemble of guests, all armed with cell phones, each eager to capture the same moment I had been poised for. Amid this exuberant group of amateur photographers, I couldn't help but smile and momentarily joined in, posing for their shots. Yet, realizing the importance of inclusivity in this joyous occasion, I stepped back, allowing everyone their chance at happiness. Amidst the laughter and shared excitement, a unique scene unfolded before my eyes—an image I knew I had to capture. This resulted in a photo that beautifully depicted the shared joy and communal spirit of the moment.


  • Second: The following image serves as a testament to how unforeseen events can serendipitously create opportunities for capturing truly unique photos. During a Gala event, set against a meticulously decorated backdrop, everything was in place for a perfect shot. The couple was poised, and I was ready. Suddenly, a swift movement caught everyone off guard as a bar attendant darted across the scene. This unexpected interruption provided a momentary pause, a break filled with laughter, and an opportunity to reset and approach the session anew, with smiles all around.


  • Third: This photo captures a scene as seen through the photographer's lens, showcasing the perfect setup of a daylight photoshoot on a summer day in 2021. Volunteers and assistants are seen diligently holding a massive light diffuser and speedlights, preparing for the shot, while the subject waits expectantly. This image epitomizes the orchestrated effort and collaboration behind the scenes, highlighting the unseen work that goes into capturing the perfect moment.


As a photographer, my journey has taught me to perceive beyond the obvious, to find beauty and stories in the spaces between moments. It's this unique perspective that allows me to capture not just images, but narratives, emotions, and the essence of life's fleeting instants, forever immortalized through my lens.

Kairos is the right, critical or opportune moment that transforms the ordinary into the extraordinary. Why is kairos so important to me or you? March 2024 has been an intense and transformative month for me because it underscored the power of kairos in my life. I traveled extensively with my family, first exploring the west coast of the United States and then traveling to Colombia in South America. In Colombia, I experienced kairos while spending time with my nieces and contributing to one of their thesis projects through a documentary about my father's life and legacy. This experience reaffirmed my connection with photography. That's called kairos. For me, photography is more than just a profession; It is a passion that allows me to capture not only images but also moments full of emotion and meaning.
