  • A MIX of
    DIGITAL & FILM

    Hola, I’m Dina, a California-based photographer who specializes in capturing candid moments from love stories to brand concepts. I’m a hybrid photographer (digital & film) and I’m here for the natural and spontaneous looking photos, so instead of posing you and telling you what to do with each part of your body, I do my best to make you focus on your partner and what’s around you.

  • Where EDITORIAL meets
    DOCUMENTARY

    My work has been described by past clients as: honest, heartfelt, emotional, documentary, candid, warm, and of course, filmy. My goal is that when you see your photos, you see YOU. Your real laughter, real hugs and kisses, lots of candid moments.

  • ALL the FEELING,
    NONE of the BULLSH*T

    I’m all about the sentimental feel of old film photos — all of the feeling, none of the bullsh*t. My work strives to capture that magic, one snap at a time.

 

Hola, I’m Dina
I’m a storyteller at heart

 
 
 
 

With a mix of digital and film, I gravitate toward documentary-style candids — perfectly imperfect, finding the beauty in that juxtaposition of blurry and crisp, messy and real.

I strongly believe that LOVE IS LOVE, and everyone here is welcome.
