Hi, I’m Leresa (pronounced like Teresa but with an L), and I’m so happy you’re here.

Born and raised in Watsonville, 831—though it took me a while to truly appreciate it—I’m now deeply proud to call this place my home and my roots.

For the past 12 years, I’ve worked in telecommunications as a corporate girly, but my heart has always been with photography. There’s something undeniably beautiful about capturing transformations, happiness, love, and healing. It’s a passion I discovered in high school and one that has stayed with me ever since.

Every image in my portfolio is created on film, with multiple exposures crafted in-camera—no shortcuts, just intentional artistry. I specialize in portraits that tell a story, whether it’s couples, engagements, weddings, editorials, or branding.

I bring creativity, empathy, and intuition into every session to create a space where you feel seen, celebrated, and empowered. Collaboration is key, and I’ll work with you to bring your vision to life in a way that feels authentic and uniquely yours.

I truly believe that with the energy we create together, anything is possible.

Can’t wait to connect with you.

XO, Larry
