Hey There! I'm
I began my journey as a portrait photographer in 2010 after studying design and photography at San Diego State University and welcoming the birth of my daughter. Over the past decade, I have had the privilege of capturing timeless moments for families, expectant mothers, and adorable children as they reach significant milestones. As I gained more experience and my business grew, I started photographing brands and business portraits, adding another skill set to my portrait business.
Photography has been my passion since a young age. Today, I feel honored to create beautiful portraits for both locals and those who visit San Diego for special occasions. For me, photography is more than a job; it's a heartfelt passion I take to heart.
As a portrait photographer, I focus on capturing families, individuals, and business portraits for brands in both studio and natural settings in La Jolla and San Diego. I thrive on highlighting the unique essence of everyone I photograph, whether in posed or candid shots. My obsession with details, combined with my friendly and approachable personality, ensures each client feels comfortable and at ease, resulting in stunning portraits.
My love for the beach and San Diego's diverse landscapes—from the desert to the canyons, the city, and the beaches—shines through in every image I capture. La Jolla, with its stunning coastal shores, remains one of my favorite backdrops for photoshoots year-round.
The breathtaking landscape, ocean, and marine life of La Jolla inspired me to name my business Sereia Photography. "Sereia," meaning "Mermaid" in Portuguese, reflects the magic, creativity, and awe that this location instills in me, allowing me to create beautiful photography for my clients.
