I'm Brenda
CHICAGO MATERNITY, NEWBORN & FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHER
Here’s a bit about me… I was born and raised in Lima, Peru. I moved to the States to go to college and fell in love with this country. It has been 22 years since then!
I am now a mom to two precious girls who reawakened my passion for photography the minute they were born. I just don’t want to miss any minute of their lives and want to be able to remember it all.
​
After spending a decade in the advertising industry, I felt a calling to revisit my passion for photography. A passion that was there since I was a little kid. I'll never forget my first Pentax camera, and developing film in the dark room. As much as I love this new digital era and my bomb mirrorless camera, I have to say, there is nothing like film...
​
It has been 8 years since I made the transition to photography and I've had the privilege of working with over 500 newborns and their families. I am professionally trained to handle your fragile, precious newborn. And God gifted me with lots of patience to wrangle little ones. I do believe there is beauty in the chaos and I embrace it fully.
I also love music, good food, yoga, chocolate, wine and the beach (bonus points for the Caribbean). Being able to take beautiful pictures of your growing belly and all the special moments in your family's lives thereafter makes me incredibly happy!
Ok that’s enough about me! I’d love to get a chance to meet you and learn more about your family. Until then…
