From now until July, I’ll be offering creative work with half the proceeds of each shoot being donated to @kesem.ucirvine 🦋🐛📸
@kesem.ucirvine offers a week long summer camp to children who’s parents have cancer— all for free to lessen the stress towards them and their families.
For the past 2 years, I have had the privilege to be UCI’s chapter photographer at camp and have seen first hand how much this experience enriches these families lives.
Camp Kesem has also deeply impacted my own life in such a positive manner. 4 years ago during my last semester of high school (2022), I had a total thyroidectamy to remove a cancerous nodule. My college experiences, especially with @kesem.ucirvine have allowed me to understand how much that has changed my outlook on life, and I’d love to give back to these kids and the overall community as much as I can before I graduate UCI this June.
If you’d like to book a creative project with me to support Camp Kesem, dm me or book on my website: thereselagrimas.com
Thank you!

‘25 felt like flying
the most audacious I’ve ever been 🥳
laughed a lot, loved a lot, worked a lot, cried a lot, lost myself, learned so much about myself, achieved career goals I didn’t see happening until after college, spent time with family and friends, enjoying the big and small things, hella brainrot one day, intellectual the next, and tried to bet on myself through it all 💗💗
so excited for you, 2026 🥳
This past September and October, I had the most amazing opportunity to be part of Beats Academy 2025! ❤️🎧 I will forever be grateful for the experience of getting to work with a group of kind, talented, and passionate creatives with the guidance of industry experts from @beatsbydre , @wearetranslation , and @space150 🚀
This internship came into my life at the perfect time. A constant throughout the creative process was understanding the affirmations that make Olympic medalist, @jordanchiles , that girl. And in a way, these 8-weeks have become an affirmation for myself. 🌸 Thank you #beatsacademy for showing me what my future could be and reminding me that I will make it happen… all by staying grounded in who I am and the people that surround me 🎧
