Get to know me

I’m a mom, an attorney (yes, you read that right - 19 years and counting) and family photographer specializing in family, maternity, and senior portraits. 

With a calm presence, timeless style, and a professional approach, I create meaningful images and a seamless experience that helps you feel comfortable, confident, and truly seen.

Hi, I'm Rosa! 

LET'S TALK FAMILY PHOTOS

When we work together, you can tell me anything and everything. From “I don’t love my arms,” to “My son is grumpy today.” You can share your family dynamics, your hesitations, and any concerns you have. Together, we’ll make sure everyone is comfortable. And that your photos reflect the best of each of you. (Even if your kids cry!)


YOU CAN TRUST ME WITH YOUR FAMILY.

On session day, we keep things light and playful. I’ll gently guide you with posing as needed, but also encourage genuine connection—think hugs with mom, laughter with dad, and those in-between moments that reveal who you truly are as a family.

 ...She really captured the crazy that is our family. It was a chilly, gloomy day at Morro Bay but the photos are so very good. And we had so much fun taking them! If you are in the area or if you are visiting family, like we were, I would highly recommend Rosa..”

“We had a FABULOUS time with Rosa!!!
