about Elizabeth
Photographer & Storyteller
A born and raised San Diegan, I'm not just a photographer capturing moments in this vibrant city – I'm a storyteller weaving the tapestry of its beauty, warmth, and diversity. With a loving husband and a bubbly two-year-old who inspire me daily, I understand the importance of preserving memories that resonate with the heart.
Specializing in family, event, and property photography, I have the privilege of freezing fleeting moments in time, from the laughter of family gatherings to the excitement of milestone events. Each click of my camera is infused with the passion and dedication I bring to my craft.
Beyond photography, I believe in giving back to the community that has shaped me. Through partnerships with local charities, I strive to spread joy and make a positive impact, one snapshot at a time.
My work has been recognized and celebrated in reputable publications such as the San Diego Reader Magazine and Metro Real Producers Magazine. These opportunities have allowed me to share my love for photography with a wider audience and continue to grow as an artist.
Whether it's capturing the charm of San Diego's neighborhoods, the love in a family's embrace, or the allure of a property, I am committed to providing exceptional service and creating timeless memories for my clients.
how it started
“Photography has been a passion woven into the fabric of my life since as far back as I can remember.”
Photography has been my lifelong dream, stemming from childhood aspirations fueled by a profound appreciation for the art of capturing moments. Known as the family historian amongst my loved ones, I've held a special reverence for photographs, recognizing their unparalleled ability to forge connections with cherished memories and beloved individuals. There's a magic in photography that transcends mere recollection, offering a tangible link to the past that stirs the soul and enriches our understanding of the world around us.
FUN FACTS
01
As a mother and photographer, I've discovered that my perspective on capturing family moments has been deeply enriched. Embracing motherhood has transformed how I approach my craft, prioritizing those tender, heartfelt moments that resonate with every family member, especially moms, who often serve as the memory keepers of our lives. It's a privilege to translate this intimate understanding into my work, ensuring that every image is imbued with the love, joy, and cherished memories that define family life.

Working with nonprofits has been an incredibly fulfilling journey for me, touching my soul in profound ways. Over the past seven years, my collaboration with the Emilio Nares Foundation has been particularly impactful. I've had the privilege of documenting the inspiring stories of countless children battling cancer, each one radiating beauty, resilience, and inner strength. It's an honor to capture these precious moments and contribute to spreading hope and awareness through my photography.

My middle name is Ireland, and I've passed down this charming tradition to my daughter, who shares the same name. With my roots deeply embedded in Irish heritage, I'm nearly 100% Irish, while my daughter proudly carries over 50% of our vibrant culture. Growing up in the embrace of a vast extended Irish family, our gatherings were always filled with song, dance, and an abundance of love. I consider myself incredibly fortunate to have been surrounded by such unwavering support and affection throughout my entire life.
