CON CARIÑO COLLECTION AVAILABLE AT SIMPLY FRAMED

In 2024, I decided to use my love of photography to explore my identity and culture, photographing the home of my family and ancestors...the Dominican Republic.

“Con Cariño” is my first photo collection from the island, tinted in hues of brown, reflecting the beauty and people of the DR.

From Santo Domingo, to Samaná and Jarabacoa, there’s a taste of my homeland in each capture.

I hope these images inspire you to travel to the Dominican Republic and experience its uniqueness and beauty for yourself.
