My clients come to me from all over Pasadena, Los Angeles, and beyond, because they are looking for something a little bit different. Perhaps you are, too?
I create natural newborn portraits with a minimalist aesthetic.
No props, costumes, or unnatural posing. Just the quiet perfection of you and your baby.
Sessions are held in your home or in my comfortable studio just minutes from Pasadena.
Kind Words
Ariel was a dream to work with. From our first phone call to getting our gallery she was friendly and professional the whole way through. She was so patient with us and our fussy baby. She never made us feel rushed and was so gentle and natural with our little one. Our pictures came out so beautifully, we shed tears when we looked at our gallery. She captured the joy of our new little family so perfectly. We will definitely be booking with Ariel again for our future family photos.

Hi, I'm Ariel
I've been serving Pasadena families as a portrait photographer for the past decade.
During that time, I've photographed countless newborns and developed a signature aesthetic that incorporates natural posing & minimal styling to create the timeless images my clients are yearning for.
My husband and I originally hale from Massachusetts, but are proudly raising two native Angelenos. That said, I will always choose Twizzlers over Red Vines.
