I am honored and humbled that you are here, considering my photography as a way to preserve your special moments in time. Whether that be your baby's first few days earthside, or your wedding day, I'm here for it! As a wife and mother I know how important each one of these milestones is and I want to give you something that can be cherished forever. I'm based in San Antonio, Texas, but can travel as needed.

"Preeya is so fun to work with. She has a very creative eye and style. She did head shots for my website and put me at ease because I was very self conscious about taking the pictures. I highly recommend her."

frequently asked questions
Q: How long have you been doing photography?
A: I've had a camera ever since I can remember, but I officially began accepting clients in 2016.
Q: How will we receive our photos?
A: After our session, I will edit any images you might love (I know everyone has their preferences!) and upload them to a private online gallery. I will e-mail you the link once your gallery is complete.
Q: Do I have to order prints through you?
A: I highly recommend ordering prints through one of my professional vendors, but it isn't required. The difference in quality is huge when it comes to ordering through a professional lab, so I always love to help with prints!
Q: Are you willing to travel?
A: Yes! Definitely! Travel fees are applied if I'm going over 60 miles, which is charged both ways. Destinations that exceed two hours driving time each way may require overnight accommodations. Please inquire.
Q: Do you bring a second photographer?
A: Whether you want a second photographer is entirely up to you. I shoot many of my weddings solo. I’m very comfortable and confident in my ability to capture most typical wedding days on my own. That being said, there are definitely advantages to having two photographers.
Q: How do I book a date?
A: A 50% deposit & signed contract is required in order to get your wedding on the calendar. The remainder of your balance is due two weeks prior to your wedding. As most couples tend to have their wedding on a Saturday these are the days that book out the quickest.
Q: What should we wear?
A: For the best results, I always recommend earth tones, natural fabrics, wearing more complimentary colors (not super matchy matchy), and avoiding loud patterns and logos.
