About Karla

I’m a grateful wife to the love of my life and a mama to a three-year-old little girl. For as long as I can remember, I’ve been drawn to natural and dreamy light. My discreet and unobtrusive approach allows me to create timeless images with a light and airy feel. My style is whimsical, soft, and ethereal, favoring a soft and gentle palette of pastel and neutral tones.


I preserve your family memories by capturing candid, organic, and heartfelt moments.

My mission as a photographer is to capture the sweet moments shared with your children and create elegant custom art pieces for your home, so you can enjoy your memories for years to come.

In addition to photography, I run a faith-based motherhood blog called Heavenward Home, where I empower women to embrace their motherhood journey and make their home a foretaste of heaven. 


Rediscover the importance of tangible photo heirlooms – a journey that begins with my own tale.

As a child, I marveled at the sight of my grandpa, a photographer. I watched him meticulously compose each shot, preserving moments that seemed to defy time itself. But his artistry didn't stop there. With unwavering dedication, he would transform those captured memories into tangible treasures, creating elegant wall art for his clients.

In a world where photos are a mere swipe away, the significance of my grandpa's craft became even more apparent.

Yes, we have the convenience of digital images at our fingertips, but they are often hidden away on computers, hard drives, or buried within the confines of our phones. They lack the emotional depth that comes from displaying them as breathtaking works of art.

That is why I am determined to continue my grandpa's legacy and help families preserve their memories and family stories. Join me in embracing the power of tangible treasures that transcend time and technology.


Imagine walking into your home and being greeted by elegant framed wall art, beautifully crafted with love and care.

These artworks, featuring your cherished moments, become more than mere decorations – they become a testament to the love, safety, and belonging that define your family.


Picture yourself flipping through the pages of a luxurious heirloom album…

…its carefully curated collection of photographs telling the story of your family's journey. With every turn, you relive those priceless moments, sharing laughter, tears, and precious memories.

Embark on an experience unlike any other, where the artistry of photography merges with the craftsmanship of heirloom design.

I’ll capture your family's story and transform it into a tangible masterpiece that serves as a lasting reminder of the love your family shares.


I’ll guide you from the moment you book your session, the reveal of your portraits, and the delivery and installation of your art pieces.

If you’ve been looking for a San Diego family photographer, book a session with me and I’ll help you create timeless family heirlooms you’ll cherish for years to come.
