WHY AVES?

The word AVES means “birds” in Spanish. Omar was born in Mexico City, Mexico and wanted to have strong ties in the business to his culture and upbringing. Birds represent freedom, positivity, and are always one with their flock. We aim to achieve freedom in all aspects of our life, spread positivity, and be one with our community.

Photography has been a part of my life as early as I can remember our family owning a camera. I find joy in capturing candid images that encompass the unseen moments, moments that can take you back to that day. As someone who has worked most of my career in corporate environments I find photography to be my creative outlet. I was raised and educated here in West Michigan.

Copy/Script Writer

Journalism and writing has always been an integral part of who I am. While studying Journalism in university I became enthralled in learning brand voice and identity through writing. The past six years I have worked in the advertising field so it's great to be able to combine my passions for storytelling and my expertise in advertising. I was raised in a small town in SE Michigan and being able to help create content for my local community is why I value Aves Films with such high regard.
