“Taking photos and dancing is my happy place, and I love celebrating the yumminess in the everyday.”

— Adriana V. Oyarzun

¡Hola! I’m Adriana

I’m so glad you are here!

One of my biggest passions is meeting new people and learning about their unique history, personality, and culture.

Every person has something special to offer the world. 

When I was earning my BFA in Photography, I realized I could connect my passion for people with my love for photography to create something really special.

I could infuse my love for seeing people as their true, unique, and authentic selves and bring that personality to life through photography.

I started photographing families, kids, babies, and professionals with this documentary-style photography — and the results were magic!

By helping my subjects relax and go through their sessions with a light playfulness, we were able to capture one-of-a-kind people in one-of-a-kind images. There were no staged poses or forced smiles. Families, kids, and adults were able to let their guard down and let the true selves (and smiles) show up!

Everyone has a story, and I love to tell it through beautiful photos that individuals and families can cherish forever.

My own story has led me from Caracas, Venezuela (where I was born) to Miami, Florida (where I was raised) to Oakland and the San Fransisco Bay Area (where I now live with my husband and “chamas,”Mia and Nina). That path has allowed me to meet people from a variety of different backgrounds and cultivate an eagerness for new having experiences.

I bring that love and openness for life to everything I do — whether it’s taking photos or leading a Zumba class or spending time with my family.

I’d love to bring my passion for telling personal stories through photography to you or your family, business, or school.

I look forward to bringing your magic to life!
