Introduction: 📸 Welcome to Judith’s Photography Services! 📸 🌴 Southern California & Mexico-Based, Ready to Wander Hola! I’m Judith an architect turned photographer with a passion for capturing life’s most precious moments. With over a decade behind the lens, my journey has taken me from the vibrant streets of Mexico to the sandy shores of Southern California. 🌟 Specializing in Love Stories While my journey began with a focus on architectural design, my heart found its true calling in photographing love stories. From intimate engagement shoots to joyous weddings, I’ve had the honor of documenting these magical moments in stunning locations like Tulum, Puerto Vallarta, and Guadalajara. 🐾 Pets, Portraits, and Everything in Between But my lens doesn’t stop there. I’m dedicated to capturing the essence of every soul, whether it’s a furry friend, a couple in love, or an individual seeking a moment of self-expression. My passion for animals shines through in every pet portrait, reflecting my deep love for our four-legged companions. 🏞️ Natural Beauty, Captured I believe that the best moments are often found in nature’s embrace. That’s why I thrive on shooting with natural light in breathtaking outdoor settings, from majestic mountains to serene beaches, and even amidst the hustle and bustle of the city streets. 🎨 Crafting Art Through the Lens With a background in architecture and interior design, my approach to photography is infused with an artist’s eye for detail. Every shoot is meticulously planned, from the choice of wardrobe to the play of colors and textures. It’s more than just a photo—it’s a masterpiece in the making. ✨ Beyond the Picture Frame When you choose to shoot with me, you’re not just getting a beautiful image. You’re embarking on a journey, a shared experience filled with laughter, love, and unforgettable moments. Let’s create memories that will adorn the walls of your home and the corners of your heart.

Judith captured our engagement surprise and subsequent photos after the grand unveil. I can’t say enough positive things about Judith and her work. She was beyond helpful, professional and a true master of her craft. The only thing I’d nitpick is her directing us during our shoot, because we’re both ridiculously awkward, but we also had my fiancée’s two best friends in the mix, so we there’s a good chance Judith took a step back to allow them to achieve their dreams of being subject posers. Jokes aside, I’d absolutely hire Judith again. The turnaround time was a few days to get digital copies over to us and we were happy with all of the pictures. We setup a walkthrough a few days before to make sure that the day was perfect. I envisioned myself potentially being a pain in the ass customer because I’m a “hobbyist” photographer and I know in most cases, us hobbyists try to flex our limited knowledge to a professional, but Judith took it all in stride. Of course, the proposal was on 10/15, the one day in months that it rained in LA. Judith took it in stride. Big fan, would certainly hire her again. Thank you Judith!!

I had the best time working with Judith and Chris for my wedding proposal and post-proposal photoshoot on Catalina Island. They were absolutely amazing! From start to finish, they were so professional, friendly, and easy to work with. They captured every moment of the proposal perfectly without taking away from the special moment. And during the photoshoot, they made us feel so comfortable and natural, which resulted in the most beautiful photos that truly captured our love and joy. I really can't recommend Judith and Chris enough. They are such talented photographers who will go above and beyond to make your special occasion unforgettable. Thank you so much for everything!

Judith went above and beyond to ensure our special moment was brought to life in the photos. We are so happy to have had her capture this day and the editing of the photos was incredible (and quick!). We could not have asked for a better experience for our engagement shoot. Judith was sweet, professional, and you could tell she loves what she does. Would love to have her be our photographer for the wedding!

We were looking for an artistic photographer for our engagement photos. Someone with a sense of style who can make interesting use of lines and draw your eye into the entire photo. We found Judith after searching dozens of portfolios. Her work showed she has an artistic view and makes the ordinary look amazing. She was able to accommodate our tight schedule and quickly set up a pre-photo session meeting via Zoom. After learning about us she recommended an amazing location and brought along some materials to enhance the session like extra cloth, etc. We had photos by trees, in a park, and on a beach at sunset. The results blew us away! We highly recommend Judith for your photography sessions.
