AUTHENTIC, JOY-FILLED PHOTOS HAPPEN WHEN YOU CAN BE YOURSELF
San luis obispo senior photographer
Portraits that celebrate your story, your style, your moment.
I am an award-winning San Luis Obispo photographer specializing in family, maternity, and senior portraits. I’ve been recognized by the National Association of Portrait and Child Photographers (NAPCP) as a Master Photographer in Lifestyle Family Photography, and my work has been featured in New Times San Luis Obispo and SLO Life Magazine. I am also a member of the Professional Photographers of America (PPA) and a volunteer photographer for The Gold Hope Project, serving families facing childhood cancer.
In addition to photography, I’ve practiced law for nearly twenty years. That background shapes how I serve my clients — with professionalism, clear communication, and meticulous attention to detail.

Rosa was super sweet and helped me feel comfortable in front of the camera, guiding me through different poses. The turnaround to receive the photos was also super quick and they are stunning. I would highly recommend!
I absolutely loved my session with Rosa! I did her full senior session as a Cal Poly grad, and she was more than happy to spend plenty of time making sure we got great photos at each location we went to, including the Cal Poly campus and off-campus at Terrace Hill.

My heart sings every time I see the photos she captured during our day, both of us and our family and friends.

...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!!!
