Labor Day is a reminder that the rights and protections many workers have today were fought for by organizers, activists, immigrants, and working people who demanded dignity, fair wages, and the right to rest.

And today, so many of the people who keep our communities fed and thriving are still working, especially our street vendors.

These portraits I have taken over the years in my neighborhood are a small tribute to the people who show up every day, often carrying the weight of their businesses, families, and dreams with them.

So proud of mi amor, Josué, for completing the SAN FRANCISCO FIRE DEPARTMENT fire reserve program. ❤️🚒

This is one more step toward his dream of chasing fire and serving the city where he was born and raised. What I admire most about him is how dedicated he is, not just to this dream, but to continuing to learn, grow, and find ways to serve his community.

I’ve had the privilege of watching how much work, time, and commitment he has put into getting here. He approaches it all with so much humility and heart, and I couldn’t be more proud to stand beside him.

Felicidades to Josué and to everyone who completed the Fire Reserve program. It was beautiful to witness the dedication and care each person brought to this journey. There is so much love behind choosing to show up and serve others.

Big shout out to all his mentors and OG reservist who showed him the ropes!

Mi amor, I love you so much. I’m so proud of you. One step closer. ❤️

Presence itself is powerful.
August 9, is the International Day of the World’s Indigenous Peoples.

A day to recognize and respect Indigenous knowledge, cultures, territories, and rights. To acknowledge that Indigenous communities, voices, and presence are very much here.

Many communities continue to face violence, land dispossession, exploitation of their territories, environmental degradation, and the ongoing loss of rights and cultural knowledge.

Sharing a few portraits from Sunrise Ceremonies I’ve had the honor of photographing over the years.

I’m still learning about my own ancestry, and what it means to approach this work with respect, listening, and humility.

Indigenous Peoples Day, every day.

Photographed my insanely talented amiga Erica Jasmin Cañas in her studio with her beautiful series, Enraizada.

Seeing Enraizada all together was so special. Every piece carries so much corazón + intention. And now… I get to say that “Achiote” lives with me. ✨ Every time I walk by it I’m like, mira nomás… qué chulada.

Nothing makes me happier than watching my friends create beautiful things and then getting to support them right back.

Follow her now to see what she is creating and I’ll see you at all the art shows ✨

San Francisco Carnaval 2026 | Part 9 FINALE ✨
Carnaval is my whole heart. ❤️

There is something so powerful about seeing our communities come together to celebrate culture, identity, ancestry, resilience, and joy. We carry our ancestors with us everywhere we go, in the way we dance, the way we dress, the music that moves through our bodies, the art we create, and the love we pour into one another. Joy is something no one can take away from us.

Carnaval San Francisco reminds me that celebration is resistance. Dance is memory. Music is healing. Art is documentation of who we are and where we come from.

I love this city deeply, and the Mission really does have my heart. I hope these portraits reflect back the beauty, power, style, spirit, and love within our community. Thank you for allowing me to witness and document these moments.

Que viva Carnaval ❤️✨
