Behind the camera

Hello, I’m Brenda

I’m a portrait photographer in the Bay Area, originally from Peru. I picked up a camera to photograph my son, trying to keep what I didn’t want to forget.

Today I do the same for couples and growing families. I guide you gently, we laugh a little, and the photographs look the way the day felt.
