Camera Creations Photography was established in 2005 after I made a firm decision to commit to the art form of portraiture. That’s because I enjoy the human experience and understand our need to create memories. Our photographs facilitate the emotional connections between your family and your friends in time, and help you remember your life experiences. 

As a boutique photography studio owner, I offer a warm and delightful place for you to come in for a free consultation, your photo session, or an occasional event. I have a team of qualified assistants to help with the sessions when needed. I stress a high-touch experience, attention to detail, and building a strong relationship with our clients. We have a selection of makeup artists and hair stylists to book for pre-session preparation for your portrait, dance and headshot sessions.  Your sessions can also be done on location, outside the studio, as well.

Always having a keen eye for life’s beauty I became a professional ballet dancer where I graced the international stages for thirteen years. After retiring from the stage I acquired a degree in art history from Loyola Marymount University that complemented my years of traveling around the world and admiring society’s and nature’s creations. Now, with years of practice behind the camera, I enjoy helping you own your likeness in portraiture specifically created for you. As with all of us, my experiences have influenced how I see the world and translate it to the photographic realm and can only enhance what I produce for you.

I am a photographic print artist and everything that I photograph is visualized with your final prints in mind for portrait sessions. I want to bring photography to your home with tangible artwork so that your loved ones can reflect on the various stages in their family’s lifespan.

My photography has been published in magazines such as Vogue, Huffington Post, West Hollywood Lifestyle magazine, Dance magazine, Pointe magazine, Backstage West, Larchmont Chronicle, ShoutOutLA and VoyageLA Magazine and Get Fit Where You Sit by Lakshmi Voelker and Liz Oppedijk.
