These Moments Go by Fast. Let’s Remember Them Right

browse the moments

These aren’t just party photos. They’re little stories of love, family, and that one beautiful afternoon.

What I Offer

Quiet, meaningful coverage of a day that deserves to be remembered, beautifully and effortlessly.

I’m there to catch the real stuff: the little hands grabbing cake, the cousins playing on the floor, the look on your face when you realize how fast a year just flew by. The hugs, the quiet moments, the people who showed up.

And when it’s all said and done, I take care of everything. Your favorite moments captured and delivered in a simple online gallery.  No stress, no extra steps, just beautiful memories, ready to hold.

What’s Included


  • Coverage of the event, details, guests, cake (or no cake), hugs, laughs, and quiet moments

  • You’ll receive a private online gallery to download, share, and print your photos, with roughly 50 images per hour of coverage.



Pricing

First Birthday Party Coverage — $1500

Coverage typically lasts up to 3 hours and is designed to document the full celebration without rushing moments or watching the clock.


Booking details

To reserve your date, a $500 retainer and signed agreement are due at booking, with the remaining balance due on the day of the party. Dates fill quickly, so early booking is encouraged.

Availability is on a first-come basis. A 24-hour courtesy hold is offered after an inquiry, and your session is officially reserved once the agreement is signed and the retainer is received.

Isela not only takes beautiful pictures, but is so sweet! We have had the pleasure of her taking images of both of our girls first birthday parties and she captured both events exquisitely. We will book Isela for future events!
