SENIOR

DOCUMENTARY & CANDID PHOTOGRAPHER IN LOS ANGELES

As a photographer, I am not merely an observer but an active participant in the narrative of each family’s story. What I love most is the ability to freeze candid moments in time — those authentic glimpses of laughter, shared glances, and unfiltered expressions that define the essence of family bonds. It’s in these unscripted moments that I truly feel like a storyteller, weaving together the emotions, connections, and shared histories that make each family beautifully distinct.

capturing candid moments with children

I live for the candid moments, especially with children. I feel like posing children is hard so I capture raw moments. I enjoy working with kids during shoots. And find children loving me back because I’m fun. Except one time when a boy asked his mom to take me back to the pumpkin patch where we did a shoot. LOL

WHAT I ALWAYS TELL MY CLIENTS

ALWAYS PRINT YOUR PHOTOS. HANG THEM UP. PUT THEM IN FRAMES.

frequently asked questions

And that’s OK. Why? They’re just kids! Capturing those candid moments with the kids being silly makes the best kind of photos in my opinion. I do not suggest giving the kids any sugar! Let’s do that later.

Back to all seriousness, I introduce myself to the kids and learn about their interests. They’re the ones who will have a great time.

I will help you with your outfits. Old Navy comes highly recommended. Choosing a color scheme matters. During our photo call, we will discuss outfit colors and will provide you with my phone number where you can exchange photos.

Do not worry!

I am a very candid photographer and I love natural posing. I love authentic laughing and just naturally being who you are.

For kids, I will take some time to warm up to them and be their cool Aunt Stella.

OMG!!!! YES!!! YES!!!!! Absolutely LOVE dogs. As a previous/past dog owner, I welcome dogs to your sessions. If you want a pet (cat, snake, bunny, etc) – please let me know.

(Past – I had a Husky/German mix dog that I returned to my cousin! lol! I “stole”/borrowed her for a few years. So I can wear black now without always buying a lint roller.)
My elopement package is the time I’ll be working by myself and assisting the couples and their needs.

Absolutely! There are so many location options we have here in Southern California.

We have mountains, beaches, city/urban, desert, sand dunes and almost every terrain you can think of. The only thing we hardly have is SNOW. At least, not in Los Angeles. It’s all about timing too.

Since I work M-F, I have weekends available. Most of my weddings happen on Saturdays. However, with reasonable advance notice, I can do a Saturday shoot. Weekdays can be accommodated as well with notice so I can take time off.

My photo shoots are an hour long. And I take some time to get to warm up to the kids so I like to connect with them before the shoot.

You will be provided with up to 40-50 images for our photo shoot. And it takes up to 2-3 weeks to provide you with the final edited photos.

Yes! I have a print shop that offers amazing print quality. Please contact me and ask me about it.
