Hey!

I’m so glad you’re here! I’m Brenda, a full time mama and photographer that understands how quickly our babies change and how meaningful each stage of motherhood is.

Through my photography, I aim to craft art that immortalizes the fleeting beauty of everyday moments. Whether it be capturing an expecting mama, a family of 5 or a newborn that has just arrived in this world, for me it all comes down to capturing those cherished (beautiful and sometimes chaotic) moments that seem to slip away way too quickly.

Let's connect and collaborate to produce heartfelt imagery that will stand the test of time, serving as precious reminders of the essence of life during those special moments.

Based in Pasadena and serving LA, OC and Ventura counties.

Testimonials

Hawes Family

“I have nothing but good things to say about Brenda! I stumbled upon her Instagram through a friend and absolutely LOVED her style! She was so easy to communicate with and willing to answer the (many) questions I had about what to wear. The day of our shoot, Brenda was amazing with my young kids and really understood how to best photograph 2 children under the age of 3. She made us so comfortable and at ease in front of the camera and her photos were incredible. I don't have a better work to describe them! She is so talented and knows exactly how to achieve the perfect shot. I specifically appreciated that she captured my family in such a natural way, allowing us to move freely while still posing us to achieve the best photo. I will cherish these photos forever!.”

Martinez Family

“Brenda did a beautiful job at capturing our family of 5. From the beginning she was very communicative and open to our ideas and questions. We have a 3 year old and year old twins and not only was she up for the challenge of capturing the beauty in the chaos but she completely exceeded our expectations. She was very patient with the kids and their needs on a warm Pasadena evening and made us feel comfortable from start to end. Highly recommend to anyone looking to make some special memories!”
