About
📸 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.

We worked with Judith for our engagement photos, and we honestly couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out. From the moment we met, she made us feel completely comfortable and natural in front of the camera — which is saying a lot since we’re usually a little awkward with photos! Judith did a great job and captured every emotion perfectly — the laughs, the quiet moments, and all the little in-between shots that felt so genuine. The photos are absolutely stunning, with beautiful lighting, color, and attention to detail. Beyond being insanely talented, Judith was also super professional, communicative, and just fun to be around. We’re so grateful for these memories and can’t recommend Judith enough to anyone looking for timeless, romantic photos that truly tell your story.

(If I could give more than 5 stars, I would!) Judith was absolutely amazing! She took our engagement photos on the beach and truly captured the moment perfectly. From helping me imagine the perfect location to making us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera, she went above and beyond. Every photo looks like something out of a dream natural, romantic, and full of emotion. I can’t thank her enough for making this experience so special. If you’re looking for someone who genuinely cares about your vision and brings it to life, Judith is the one!

Judith took our engagement photos when I proposed to my fiancee at her parents' home in Manhattan Beach. Judith was phenomenal. The photos were stunning, she allowed the scene to unfold naturally while still making sure to get the best shots. She stopped at nothing too, once we gave her the go-ahead. She even lied down on the ground to get the ring shining off the sun. I could not recommend her highly enough for your needs. Everyone who's seen our photos has been so complimentary, and we could not be more thrilled with her work.

Judith did an amazing job with our engagement photoshoot. She was punctual and arrived before us even scouted our great spots. The photos looked great even before editing and even better after. They were very high quality. I would highly recommend anyone in the area to book her for a photoshoot.
