Hello, I am Bella.
I am twenty-five years old, born & raised here in beautiful Southern California. My family and loved ones are everything to me, and they truly are my world. There's nothing I adore more than kids, their pure little hearts, and curiosity about the world. My greatest dream in life is becoming a mother and having a little family of my own. I am a huge Disney fan at heart and can easily spend an entire day immersed in my favorite Disney films— Up, The Incredibles, Maleficent, and Coco and no matter how many times I watch them, they still bring me to tears. Speaking of emotions, I'm a true empath, often moved to tears by sweet words from a friend, witnessing a heartfelt moment, or an incredibly touching book. Although my emotions can be overwhelming at times, I consider them to be a beautiful strength instead of something negative. These emotions allow me to fully connect, feel deeply, be present and intentional with what's in front of my lens. Which brings me here today, to photograph your story. Whatever that looks like, let's document it!
My Philosophy + Purpose
Photography is something much greater than just a click of a button. It's the universal language that speaks to the heart. It's a form of art that provokes a reaction from the viewer whether it makes you feel inspired, happy, or even emotional. It's essentially an image that tells a story not even words can begin to describe. Something that brings people together.
Photography is my way of bringing love and light to you. Documenting your special moments that you can always look back on is what brings me the most joy. The opportunities & friendships this has brought me are truly beautiful gifts from God and something that I'm grateful for everyday. My purpose is to serve you with beautiful photographs that will last a lifetime and memories that will remain in your heart forever.
It's a true honor to me that I have the privilege to capture all bits of life happening around us everyday- weddings, couples celebrating their love, families growing, and the greatest gift of all documenting motherhood and the joy of bringing a little human into this world. Throughout my years of being a photographer, there is one thing that remains the same, my love for it will always be eternal.
my other joys in life
Amore Mio
The love of my life
This is the love of my life and one person who completes me in ways no one else can. Beyond this photo are lots of memories made, laughs shared, highs, lows, and lots of love. He is my best-friend, as well as my safe space. I'm beyond grateful for the relationship we've built together and the life we're creating. We met at a coffee shop back in twenty-twenty, and I'm so glad we did, because I could not imagine doing life without this sweetheart by my side. He is my mundo after all!
my other joys in life
Jackie Brown
The sweetest pup ever
Introducing Miss Jackie Brown, the sassiest but sweetest pup ever. My siblings named her after the Quentin Tarantino film made in 1997, Jackie Brown. This sweet little thing is full of so much love & personality. She makes our days so much brighter and a little hectic at times with her all-time high energy levels. She loves to cuddle, play, go on walks, be in the mix of everything, and is the friendliest poodle ever.
my other joys in life
Café Con Leche
My favorite thing in the world
Of course, coffee is on my list of joys in my life. It's what I look forward to in the morning, sometimes in the evening, and even late nights when I can't get away from working on the computer or the endless night of studying. I love going to different coffee shops, trying something new, and sharing those moments with my love. In short, it's essential in my everyday life and what I run off of when my energy levels are low.
my other joys in life
Traveling
Adventure is out there
As much as I love being an introvert at home, cozy in my bed, I love traveling. Experiencing new cultures, seeking exciting adventures, and creating lasting memories with my loved ones is where my heart is at. Traveling inspires me to see, taste, and try new things. I've been blessed to experience Mexico, New York, Maui, Florida, Italy, Greece, and Turkey. This picture was taken in Guadalajara, Mexico & I completely fell in love being over there. There's something so special about Mexico that makes me feel right at home anytime I travel out there.
my other joys in life
Disneyland
The happiest place on earth
I'm truly convinced I'm an old soul, but Disneyland is where my child at heart shines bright. I love walking through Disney's Main Street, the smell of the Pirates of the Caribbean ride, the overall ambiance, and of course the beignets! I've been going to Disneyland since I was a little girl, so many special memories have been made here with my family. Any time I go now, there's always a feeling of nostalgia + warmth that brings me joy.
