my story
Hi there, I’m Mercedes!
I was born in Mexico City, where I spent the first 25 years of my life. I met the love of my life in 2010, got married and joined him on his journey to follow his passion; somewhere along the way I found mine. I have been a photographer since 2012. A few years later, motherhood irrupted in my life, teaching me the reaches of that particular kind of love and the importance of living in the moment, so I would never miss the fleeting instant of perfect harmony.
Motherhood has also taught me to appreciate the beauty of chaos, the comfort of shared exhaustion and to treasure the images that are hidden in the most ordinary moments of life. Everything changes so fast. A glance, a laugh, or a quiet little moment can disappear before you even notice. That’s exactly why I love photography: it helps me catch those small, invisible moments that make life feel real and alive.
I shoot everything from family sessions to streets to personal projects, but no matter what, I’m always drawn to the ordinary moments that turn out to be extraordinary. For me, photography is about paying attention, capturing connection, and holding onto the little things before they slip away. I want my images to feel honest, human, and timeless — something you can come back to years from now and still feel the heartbeat of that day.
I now live in Miami, FL with my 2 kids and my husband.

“Mercedes brings a level of comfort and familiarity to all of her sessions which translates to the most authentic and meaningful photos. We have done formal sit-downs, mini sessions and our most treasured of all was having Mercedes follow us for a “day in the life.” This collection of photos is one of our most treasured assets. We are forever grateful for the ordinary and exciting moments she captured of our family!”
