Bio -

Elizabeth is a first-generation Latina photographer with a passion for capturing real moments in a way that feels genuine and dynamic. She specializes in both event and portrait photography, creating powerful visual stories that capture the energy, emotion, and authenticity of every moment.

Elizabeth’s creative process is centered around connection and storytelling. Whether she's photographing a special event or a portrait session, she focuses on capturing the essence of the person or moment in front of her. For portraits, Elizabeth goes beyond just posing — she works to create a relaxed atmosphere, allowing her subjects to be themselves so their true personality shines through. In event photography, she immerses herself in the flow of the day, ensuring she captures both the planned moments and the unexpected ones that tell the full story.

With a background that influences her perspective, Elizabeth's goal is to create imagery that feels natural yet thoughtfully composed, balancing spontaneity with direction. Every shot is taken with intention, whether it’s a candid laugh or a carefully framed portrait.

If you're looking for a photographer who can capture the real you or your event in a way that feels personal and unique, Elizabeth is here to help bring your vision to life.
