I’m Vanessa, a fine art family, newborn, and maternity photographer living in the gorgeous desert of Yuma, Arizona with my love and our three kids. Photography has been a lifelong love for me and I’m drawn to the beautiful grittiness of human emotion and connection. My style is artistic, natural, and filled with love.

I have the soul of an artist, inherited from my grandfather, and I create photographic art in addition to my client work. My personal art is focused on my family, nature, and women. I’ve been featured in several magazines and online publications (click HERE to check it out). Occasionally I sell art prints and I’ve had several exhibitions in local art shows. My hobbies are the outdoors & plants, reading & podcasts, volunteering, and good television. The most important thing to me is loving my people. My family and friends fill me up and I'm so incredibly grateful for them.

With me, you will get a relaxed session and photos that you can emotionally connect to. I will create photographs that make you feel. There is unimaginable beauty in the love you have for your people. I will document this beauty so that you may return to that feeling over and over, and always remember what it feels like to love, and be loved, deeply.
