PHOTOGRAPHER. MOM. CAT LOVER.
Hi! I’m CALI your family photographer
Welcome! I’ve been a professional photographer for over 16 years. I’ve had a camera in my hand since I was 5, taking film photos as a kid, developing my B&W film & making prints in the darkroom in high school and college photography classes. My strong foundation in film photography has disciplined me to make each photo count and be impactful.
I love to document life and the activities that we take part in to be able to look back through old photos and relive how those times felt. I capture the time in between the minutes ticking on the clock – the “kairos time”. I see through the lens what we aren’t consciously aware of. Those are the emotions I want to convey in my visual art.
Creating a photograph to preserve memories are my life’s calling. It would be my pleasure to create tangible memories for you and your family.
I would love to capture a moment in time for your family.
