Meet your new photographer BFF...

Let me introduce myself. I'm Ariel - not like the mermaid or an antenna but like the letters R-E-L. Say it fast... get it? Lots of my clients now affectionately call me rel.

ARIEL (R-E-L)

Hey there!

We're in the age of the selfie, and who doesn't enjoy snapping one? Selfies are fantastic for capturing spontaneous moments.

However, there's another type of memory equally valuable—planned photo sessions.

These sessions are all about you, your kids, or your whole family, and they take the stress out of capturing moments filled with love. They're moments to cherish, reminding you of the special time you are in. They also have totally beautiful candid moments.
