Rafael Sotomayor is our favorite photographer. We met him back in 2010 & he delivered our engagement photos, family photos, post wedding, newborn & most recently our Old San Juanthemed family shots in 2025. We are highly satisfied with his work & that’s why when we visit Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 or if he comes to NY we book him right away. He is very patient and perfect to use with busy toddlers. He still manages to get precious candid shots. Sometimes I send him my Pinterest inspired themes & he makes them come to life. Our family adores his work and his pictures are all around our home. If you are considering getting family, engagement, newborn, wedding or self portraits, he will deliver. He is professional, creative and talented with editing. Make sure to see his work with our family. Thank you Rafael!!!

Had a nice family photo shoot while on vacation in Puerto Rico. Very professional and great communication. Pictures turned out well with a two day turn around for the delivery of pictures which is very impressive! Thank You

"Rafael was amazing to work with! We called him the day before on a whim, and he drove to the other side of the island (at no extra charge no less) and walked onto a location to which he had never been before. He immediately saw the best angles, shots, and lighting to create truly memorable images. He made us feel incredibly comfortable and relaxed, and we truly enjoyed our experience.... and then there are the pictures. In a word - INCREDIBLE!! If we didn't know it, we would have thought we were on a movie set. All in all, we would highly recommend Rafael for any photography work you may need. We will cherish these pictures forever."

Taylor + Travis

Very professional and great to work with. Was available last minute when another photographer was not responding to my emails/messages. He listens to what you desire and have in mind for your photo shoot and makes it happen. Very happy with our Engagement photos.

Portraiture, to me, is about presence — about creating imagery that feels natural, intentional, and quietly powerful. For over three decades, I have refined an approach that blends craftsmanship with thoughtful direction, allowing my clients to feel confident and at ease in front of the camera. My foundation is rooted in portrait photography, where I learned that true luxury lies not in excess, but in simplicity, light, and connection.

Over the years, my work has been recognized by leading professional photography associations, reflecting a commitment to artistry and precision. While portraiture remains at the heart of what I do, I bring the same refined perspective to destination weddings, maternity sessions, and professional portraiture — documenting life’s milestones and leadership moments with an editorial eye and timeless elegance.

Whether you call Puerto Rico home or are visiting our island for a meaningful chapter, my goal is to create sophisticated, enduring artwork — imagery that feels effortless today and remains powerful for generations.
