Capturing Meaningful Moments With Heart
Capturing Meaningful Moments With Heart
Hello, hola, bonjour. I’m Jorge — your photographer.
I’m a Mexican-Canadian photographer based in Vancouver — and when I’m not behind the camera, I’m traversing the globe as a flight attendant. Both roles have taught me to connect with people from all walks of life and find beauty in everyday moments. I speak three languages fluently and one universally: joy. Whether you're travelling solo, celebrating a milestone, or wrangling toddlers for a family portrait, I bring an easygoing energy that puts people at ease and lets genuine moments shine.
Philosophy — Capturing meaningful moments with heart
For me, photography is about connection — the kind that lives in a glance, a laugh, a shared moment. My approach is relaxed and people-centred, with a focus on capturing natural, candid moments and crafting images that feel as good as they look. With thoughtful direction and beautifully refined edits, you’ll walk away with photos that feel deeply you.
Photography Offerings

From sun-soaked streets in Mexico to foggy coastlines in Ireland, I capture the essence of a place and your experience within it. Whether you're backpacking solo or on a family getaway, I’ll create a capsule of your trip through candid portraits and scenic imagery that brings your journey back to life.
-
Weddings, parties, celebrations, and one-of-a-kind moments — I document them all with care and intuition. Blending into the background or offering gentle guidance when needed, I capture the people, the atmosphere, and the feeling so you can relive it all long after the day has passed.

There’s an art to capturing someone’s essence in a single frame. From professional headshots to creative portraits, I work with individuals, couples, and families to create relaxed, honest images that reflect who you are in this moment in time.
The Vancouver Travel Photoshoot
Experience Vancouver like never before. This 3–5 hour photo session and tour takes you through iconic and off-the-beaten-path locations in the city and beyond. Ideal for solo travellers, couples, and families, you’ll get vacation portraits, special moments captured through candid shots, scenic views, and a beautiful visual story of your time in the city — all delivered as a digital album ready to print or share.

The Process
Every shoot starts with a conversation — we’ll chat about what you’re hoping to capture, who’s involved, and the vibe you’re after. On shoot day, I’ll guide you with care while leaving space for spontaneous moments. I’m great with kids, thoughtful with composition, and meticulous with post-production. Your final images are delivered in a digital gallery that’s easy to view, download, and share.
Let’s Capture Something Beautiful Together
Whether you're planning something big or just want to celebrate this chapter of your life, I’d love to hear from you. Let’s start the conversation and capture the magic.
