A lover of the visual arts and the girl who always had a wall of photographs in her bedroom. I'm always giddy with excitement to share these captured moments with friends, family and now my clients. The emotions my photographs evoke is one of life's greatest pleasures for me.
In the last year I have explored my creativity and discovered a great joy for photography. I am both self-taught and also studied at Tri-Community Photo Program in Covina, CA. I shoot in natural light and my style can be best described as photojournalistic. My goal is to capture you and or your families' lifestyle, uniqueness and tell your story. The session time is our play time so fun accessories and snacks are encouraged!
Currently available for photo sessions in LA and Orange County, but I love to travel so please do inquire for pricing outside these areas.
I live in LA with my life partner Kris and enjoy cooking, travel, wine tasting, reading and the beach.

Trying to wrap up the year with some personal projects at home. Some of these have been postponed from awhile back mostly because it required forking up money, but I recently won a photo book through Shutter Sisters, it’s by Memolio (thank you and thank you) so there’s no excuse now for that project. I am...
You’re 29, where does the time go? I still remember when I met you at 5 in your little cute elephant sweater and adorable braided hair. You’ve turned out to be one lovely lady from the inside out and I look forward to more wonderful moments in our future. Get ready for the 30th Socorro,...
This was my first photo walk with the Faded and Blurred group and it was extra fun because Trude was my buddy. You know the person you’re suppose to hold hands with and watch out for so you don’t get lost? Yeah, a buddy like that. We walked, wandered off, played, laughed, ran, and took...
I’m getting ready to shoot a wedding this weekend and I am super excited as it is my first and I happen to know the beautiful bride pretty well. I worked with Heidi years ago for quite a long time and have stayed in touch through out the years. She is such a fun person...
We usually don’t go out to dinner for anyone’s birthday because of the crowds, but this year it just seemed the best choice since my mom works the weekends sometimes. My youngest brother Edgar actually arranged it and even picked the place and drove us there – SUPER NICE! We started early since we had...
I was tagged by Trude, here we go!
1. Where is your cell phone? On my nightstand, I think. It’s never attached to me, hence the voicemail when people call me.
2. Your hair: Super curly and wild.
3. Your mother: Is the best cook and a great role model for healthy eating. She loves the arts, reading, good...
A recent get together with former co-workers reminded me of all the fun, loving and silly nicknames people have given me over the years. I thought it would make for a fun post, so here we go starting from early childhood.

Given by my parents, it’s just a loving way of saying skinny girl in...
I had coffee at this little place in Pasadena called Jones Coffee, it’s really the best coffee in the area and they grow and roast their own coffee beans. The little cafe has great ambiance too, I wish I would have taken a photo of the place (next time) and that it was closer to...
I finally cleaned up the office space this week and it made such a difference! I feel way more focused and not so overwhelmed. I’ve never liked overly busy or cluttered areas, it drives me nuts and I always feel better after the clean up. I also added a chalkboard that used to be a...
This past weekend my aunt Mari turned 50 and my cousin Heidy and uncle Luis gave her the best 50th bash ever. Close friends and family were invited to join in on some yummy tacos (taco stand with a spit of al pastor meat and all), refreshing agua de piña and the night ended with a...
