friend and number one fan.

I'm an Orange county based elopement photographer and lifestyle photographer but I am always happy to travel wherever your love goes. I'm known for my ability to make my clients (more like friends) feel  beautiful and comfortable in front of my camera. I combine a documentary and slightly editorial approach when capturing your unique story. I focus on capturing perfectly imperfect moments, true feelings and most importantly the authentic you; because the real you is art.



Hi there!
I AM CLAUDIA. YOUR southern california PHOTOGRAPHER,

As a person

I am 34 years old and I was born and raised in Los Angeles, CA. I am the biggest early bird you'll ever meet; I'm talking 4:30am ready to squat at the gym early. I have a beautiful daughter and an adorable miniature schnauzer and together we are the coolest girl squad. I am HUGE on Family; I love spending time with my parents and siblings. Growing up, my dad bought me countless cameras- I always wanted to take pictures. My love for photography stems from wanting to preserve priceless memories with my loved ones forever and I want to do the same for you!
