What Are You Here For?

Photography Studio in La Jolla, CA
Serving San Diego | Newborn • Maternity • Motherhood • Brand

At The Portrait Mama, I specialize in capturing life’s most precious moments with a focus on luxury maternity, newborn, and personal branding photography. My studio is based in La Jolla, and everything I do is rooted in this simple truth: you deserve to be remembered — not just as a mother or business owner, but as you.

Whether you’re holding your first baby, preparing to welcome another, or building something of your own as a creative woman, this is a space for presence, softness, and honest beauty. I serve clients across La Jolla, San Diego, Encinitas, and surrounding areas with an intentional, full-service experience that prioritizes calm and clarity at every step.

As a mother myself — and a woman who’s faced cancer and learned how fragile time really is — I don’t take any of this lightly. These photos are your legacy. This moment is real. And you are worthy of being seen in it.

Here you can explore all the ways we can work together — from newborn and maternity sessions in San Diego, to elevated brand photography for women entrepreneurs.

You’re not here by accident.
Let’s make something lasting.

Serving families and businesses across La Jolla, Encinitas, Rancho Peñasquitos, Coronado, and Mission Hills, I create heirloom-quality portraits designed to be cherished for generations.
