I HAVE BEEN CREATING FINE ART FAMILY PORTRAITS FOR OVER 30 YEARS
WITH HUNDREDS OF FAMILILES IN ORANGE COUNTY AND LOS ANGELES.
Hi I’m Edna
I am the person behind the camera creating the images you see before you. I just moved to Los Angeles a couple of years ago having spent my entire life in Orange County .. doesn’t seem like a big move but for those of you who have done it.. it’s like a different universe! I love it! My heart will always be in OC but my artistic side loves Los Angeles! So come on in, get cozy, make yourself at home. So excited you are here. I know you are gonna love it here!
My pastimes are listening to Mississippi Delta blues, collecting vintage metal robots and spending my free time painting, oil on canvas. Art is everything to me… It can transform, transport and enlighten. It can tell a story. It can take a peak into our souls. You can create with it and it can create you!
I may not have it all together when it comes to certain things. Like… I’m not a great driver, well at least that’s what everyone else says. I think I drive fine! I may not always keep up with my blogging, so now I hired my daughter. But you know what I am AMAZING at… taking photographs. I take some really amazing images. I love love love my profession. I ooze passion for it!!!! It is what I live for!
SOOOO if you are here because you need some AMAZING photos, that are not only gorgeous and elegant and beautiful and stunning and TIMELESS but are also FUN and SILLY and really embody WHO YOU ARE! AND OMG YOU ARE SICK AND TIRED OF EVERY PHOTO BEING “LIGHT AND AIRY” (BTW this will be the defining look that people will hate in 10 years).. Then you, my friend, have come to the right place! With over 30 years of experience in Southern California, you will have nothing to worry about when I am photographing you!
Can’t wait to meet you!

Let’s do this LA and OC families!
I do not even want to know when the last time you had you wrangled your family for family photos!
I can tell you that growing up we had one professional family portrait and it still breaks my heart to remember it. It’s the only photos of us all were we looked good. I was ten.. can you believe it 10. I think it was an Olen Mills portrait and boy oh boy I cherished it.
But family portraits should be taken yearly to document the every changing growth of our kids and ourselves. I mean this is everything you will leave behind… your legacy, your truth. So do it with style. Let’s get creative, go somewhere fun, talk about what wardrobe to wear and make some magic happen!!!!
If you need a photographer hire Edna now and you won’t regret it! She has been with me and my family every step of the way and I’m so grateful that we have had her to document all of our family milestones! I found Edna in 2012 while searching for a wedding photographer. She is the best and captures all the special moments in our lives!! From engagement to wedding, to maternity, newborn sessions and yearly family photos she has done it all! She even did a COVID shoot for me where she separately photographed all the cousins and cropped them together so we could make a special gift for grandma! She is the sweetest most fun loving and genuine person and her artistry shines in every photo she takes! We love you Edna and are so happy we have you to document our lives in such a beautiful way!
A friend of mine was always posting such vibrant and colorful pictures of her daughter. I’m so glad I asked her who did her photography because that’s how I met Edna. She has since done our family portraits. I have a love for photography and by no means am I an expert but I am very particular about details in my pictures. You don’t have to worry about this with Edna. She’s very thorough with details and pays attention to your wants/specifics prior to your photo shoot. She is very passionate about your satisfaction with her work and has a way like no other to make your pictures magically come alive. Your pictures from Edna will tell a story about a captured moment in time, gone forever and only a memory. Her sessions are fun, finished pictures are colorful and vibrant and truly one of a kind priceless pieces of art and she does this all for a reasonable cost.
