Documentary Family & Lifestyle Photographer in Los Angeles

Documentary family and lifestyle photographer in Los Angeles and surrounding areas capturing authentic moments through natural, heartfelt photography. Specializing in weddings, birth, families, seniors sessions, branding, and life celebrations.

The most meaningful moments are rarely planned. They unfold in a glance, a laugh, a quiet embrace, or the way light falls across an ordinary afternoon. My work is about noticing those moments before they disappear.

 

 

As a mom, photographer and educator, my years of teaching have taught me to observe rather than interrupt. Children, and really, people of all ages don't need to be constantly directed; they need to feel seen, comfortable, and free to be themselves. That perspective shapes the way I approach every family, portrait, and life event I photograph, allowing genuine moments to unfold naturally.

MEET IVONNE MARIA

 

I have struggled with forgetfulness for as long as I can remember—especially when reaching for memories of a childhood rooted in a place that is no longer home. Though I left Costa Rica, its warmth has never left me. 

After moving to the United States, I stepped into adulthood, embracing life as a mother, a Spanish teacher, and a photographer. In 2010, I discovered a quiet, unique ability: with a camera in hand, I could truly see and capture the profound connections between people. 

In those moments, nothing could distract me. I felt fully present, grounded, guided by an intuitive sense for recognizing the fleeting, meaningful moments we all long to preserve—a way of honoring life’s beauty through each image.
