Hi, I’m Tesla — an Orange County based photographer capturing weddings, families, motherhood, brands, and the beautifully imperfect moments in between with a candid, natural approach.

At 34, I’ve built a business rooted in connection, creativity, and documenting people in a way that feels effortless, emotional, and true to who they are. I’m drawn to natural movement, genuine interaction, good light, thoughtful details, and imagery that feels timeless without feeling overly perfect or posed.

Born and raised in Huntington Beach, California, I grew up with disposable cameras constantly in my hands and a deep appreciation for preserving memories before I even realized photography would become my career. Motherhood only deepened that love. My daughters, Harloe and Haven, are a huge part of the heart behind everything I do and constantly remind me how quickly life moves and how meaningful photographs become over time.

Outside of photography, you can usually find me with my family, thrifting vintage pieces, listening to music, chasing sunsets somewhere near the coast, or dreaming up my next creative idea. I’ve always been drawn to things that feel nostalgic, lived-in, warm, and real — and I think that naturally spills into the way I photograph people.

My approach is relaxed and lightly guided, creating space for people to actually settle in, connect, and enjoy the moment instead of worrying about posing perfectly. Whether I’m documenting a wedding day, a growing family, a personal brand, or a meaningful celebration, my goal is always the same: to create imagery that feels honest, effortless, and full of life.

More than anything, I want the experience to feel comfortable from beginning to end — like hanging out with someone who genuinely cares about capturing your story well. The photos matter deeply to me, but so does the feeling people leave with after working together.
