I'm Manoela

Photography is a true gift in my life, and I feel most at home with a camera in my hands. My goal is to create a space where you feel completely yourself while we capture genuine moments together. I'm a California born, Guatemalan blooded, Air Force brat living life in Colorado Springs with my wonderful husband and our precious daughter! I love coffee, playing piano, spending quality time with my family and friends and impacting the world in a positive way.

I love capturing stunning outdoor portraits, especially during golden hour. This magical time of day adds a romantic and dreamy quality to photos, enhancing the natural beauty of the surroundings. Genuine, spontaneous and candid moments are my favorite things to capture and the joy of making a special moment last a lifetime is truly fulfilling for me.

I love serving at my church and dedicating any free time I have to serving God and people!  When you look through your photo gallery, I hope you see yourself as God sees you - unique, beautifully made in His image, and full of purpose. Every person has a story worth telling, and I would be honored to help you preserve yours!
