Behind the Camera: Meet the Photographer

Los Angeles family and school portrait photographer

Hi! I’m a Los Angeles–based family and school portrait photographer who also happens to be an early childhood educator—which means I’m very comfortable with big feelings, wiggly children, and spontaneous giggles.

Working with children is truly my happy place. My background in early childhood education helps me connect quickly with kids, keep sessions fun and relaxed, and capture those real, joyful expressions parents love. Whether it’s picture day at school or a family session, I create an easygoing experience where kids can be themselves and parents can actually enjoy the process.

Photography has been a passion of mine since high school, which led me to finally turn that passion into a business: Patsions (passions) Photography.

I specialize in family and school portraits that feel natural, playful, and timeless. My goal is to document genuine moments—sweet smiles, curious personalities, and the little details you’ll want to remember long after they’ve grown. I’m proud to serve families and schools throughout Los Angeles, California, and I can’t wait to capture yours.
