I took a black and white film class to learn how to use my first camera, a manual Minolta. I’ve been doing photography ever since.

We asked Paula to photograph our August 31 wedding in Carlsbad right after we became engaged in February. We knew our celebration was going to be small and intimate with more candid photos than staged, familiar, traditional wedding moments. We were a little scattered and in the last week we added time to the schedule, but still didn’t provide Paula with specific guidance about what to focus on. Paula rolled with the time change and lack of direction graciously. We wanted to capture the heart of the day… pretty vague :) and Paula delivered in the most beautiful way. Our wedding photos are so full of life and an amazing portal back to the most amazing day of our lives. Paula is a true professional, an incredible artist and we would recommend her wholeheartedly for any occasion.
Details: Wedding • 25 - 49 guests • Indoors • Digital or online download

We are obsessed with our engagement photos! Paula was professional, responsive and has excellent communication. Her work quality is top tier. She was able to guide into poses while still making the photos look natural. I will definitely hire her again.

Paula was great to work with! She was responsive and helpful setting up the photos and during the photos she was flexible and helpful! She did a great job with our toddler (who can sometimes be a challenging subject). Our photos turned out great! We will use her again! Thank you!

She took my daughters engagement photos. They are beautiful and she gives an amazing amount of photos for the price.
