The Inspiration Behind Moments in hand

Hi, I’m Cecilia, the one behind the camera!
The last five years have been the most beautiful of my life. I’ve learned so much along the way, but the biggest lesson has been how quickly time slips by. There have been so many moments I wished I could freeze — to pause time and truly soak it in, knowing I’d never live that exact moment again.

That’s where my love for photography was born. I’ve been photographing for three years, and I’m still learning every day. For me, photography is more than pictures — it’s a way to hold onto the moments that matter most. It lets us freeze time, even just for a second, so we can look back and feel those memories all over again.

What Makes Us Different?

Moments in hand is committed to making quality photography accessible to everyone in Rio Rancho, New Mexico and the surrounding areas. I understand how important photos are and that they aren't always accessible. I want to make it so people who may not always be able to afford photos can get nice quality pictures, making moments last.

The Feeling We Want to Evoke

When you look at our photos, I want you to find joy and happiness that you'll be able to forever look back on. We aim to capture not just images, but the genuine emotions and connections that make each moment special.

"Moments in hand captured the most beautiful memories for my family. We'll cherish these photos forever!"
