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.

Today’s sunset. I can never get enough photo shots of a sunset… I will always capture them and I am okay with that. This winter has brought some of the most gorgeous sunsets in Southern CA and I need to make more attempts to capturing them because it’s a shame to let this...
Can you blame me?
Just a sneak peak from my newborn session today, she’s cute as a button. I truly enjoyed meeting and spending time with this little one and her mommy whom is just smitten with her.
I can put up a good fight, don’t let the tutu and pearls fool you.
I hope everyone...
I just wanted to share some of my photos from this project since recently a good friend inquired, the rest of the set can be seen here. Thank you for the continued support for all those that are my biggest fans, it means the world to me.

I just wanted to share photos of yours truly here on Trude’s blog. I had the pleasure of participating in this photo swap and photographing her and Caroline, but I was nervous about seeing photos of myself (first photo session for me) and I must say that I was just being silly, so silly!
I’m blown...
My grandmother Soledad passed when I was only 14 years old and she was the sweetest and most loving abuelita that any girl could have. The other day I was re-organizing my jewelry box (I do this a lot, I’m an organizing clean junkie) and I stumbled upon these lovely gold earrings. They were given...
