My love of photography started over 10 years ago, and I haven’t put my camera down since.

Hi, I'm Angela.

I'm so happy you're here.

Photography has been a part of my life for years, but what began as a creative hobby quickly became something so much more. It all started with a local photography community where I spent countless hours learning, creating, and falling in love with the art of telling stories through a camera. From chasing sunsets on the beach to experimenting with long-exposure photography, I discovered that my favorite images were never just beautiful—they made people feel something.

Today, my greatest joy is documenting life's most meaningful seasons. Whether it's the excitement of your wedding day, the anticipation of welcoming your first baby, the beautiful chaos of family life, or the tiny details you'll never want to forget, I'm honored to preserve memories you'll treasure for years to come.

My work became even more personal when I became a mom in November 2025 after a long journey through infertility. That season forever changed the way I see photography. I understand just how precious these moments are—the kicks you can't wait to meet, the newborn snuggles that disappear far too quickly, and the everyday moments that one day become your favorite memories. It has given me an even deeper appreciation for documenting not just what life looks like, but what it feels like.

When I'm not behind the camera, you'll usually find me spending time with my husband, soaking up every moment with our little one, or hanging out with our sweet rescue pup, Lilah. She was my "foster fail" after years of volunteering with a local animal rescue, and she's been part of our family ever since. Because of her, I have a soft spot for four-legged family members—so yes, your dog is always welcome at your session!

My hope is that when you look back at your photos years from now, you're transported right back to this season of your life—the love, the laughter, the tiny details, and the people who matter most. It would truly be an honor to tell your story.

When I'm not behind the camera, you'll usually find me spending time with my little family. Whether we're biking along the beach, exploring local hiking trails, or chasing sunsets by the ocean, I love any excuse to be outside. Traveling has always been one of my greatest joys, and I'm happiest when planning our next adventure—Yosemite, Joshua Tree, Big Bear, and the Canadian Rockies are a few of my favorite places, with Alaska high on my bucket list.

Family has always been at the center of my life. Before becoming a mom, I loved every opportunity to spoil my nephew and godson and gather my siblings and cousins for family dinners. Now, watching my own little one grow has made those moments even more meaningful and reminds me every day just how quickly time passes.

When I'm not photographing families, I'm also a registered nurse. I earned my Master of Science in Nursing Education in 2020 and continue caring for neurology patients at a local hospital in Newport Beach. Nursing has taught me compassion, patience, and the importance of being fully present—qualities I bring into every session. Whether I'm caring for patients or documenting milestones, I believe the most meaningful work comes from serving people with heart.

I'm always learning, growing, and finding new ways to create beautiful, timeless images for the families who trust me with their memories.
