Meet our California photographers
Nusa Cortez
Location: Vista, California
About Nusa: Hey, I’m Nusa, a San Diego family photographer and nature-loving gal who’s always chasing golden light and genuine moments. I’m based in San Diego, CA, and I work with families all over San Diego County, from Balboa Park to the beaches of La Jolla and Carlsbad.
I believe in the magic of preserving real, candid moments: those little laughs, wild hugs, and quiet in-between glances that make your family yours.
My sessions are calm, playful, and connection-focused. I bring a relaxed energy to each session so you can feel at ease, especially if you have little ones in tow.
Working with me feels like hanging out with a friend who just happens to have a camera. We’ll play, explore, and capture the real stuff. No stiff poses, no pressure.
You’ll walk away with photographs that look and feel like you. Honest, warm, and full of love.
Favorite places to shoot: park, beach
Nicolas Velazquez
Location: Los Angeles, California
About Nicolas: Hola, my name is Nick, I'm an easy-going, art-loving photographer in San Fernando, CA.
I have a big family that loves taking photos! When I was young, I was the typical teenager that dreaded standing there while my grandma said “one more” for the 12th time. Now, going through family albums and sharing stories with my grandparents saying “when I was that age…” mean the world to me. Time flies so fast. and being able to freeze moments for the family to look back on as they grow is why I love capturing photos. I take great joy in knowing I am part of so many families being able to relive moments with their family for years to come like family does.
I approach shoots with a laid back, open minded mentality. I’ve been all around the valley, from Santa Clarita to LA, and met all combinations of fun and interesting people to share stories with. This photo journey has allowed me to capture birthdays, family parties, weddings, and even metal concerts. I want sessions to feel relaxed and fun while tailored to fit your natural style. So feel free to let loose and be yourself. Don’t hesitate to bounce ideas off me or tell me some funny poses you saw and want to try out. We’re here for a fun time and beautiful photos. Good vibes and lots of smiles to remember.
Genuine memories is the goal. Photos to look back on with your family and say, “remember…”
