Our Story
After years of building our individual careers on opposite coasts—one of us immersed in the fast-paced world of editorial and runway fashion photography in New York, the other creating signature beauty looks for television and red carpet events in Los Angeles—we’ve finally come home to the Bay Area, where our roots and our hearts have always been. Reuniting as sisters and creative partners, we’ve joined forces to create a luxury maternity photography experience that is both deeply personal and visually stunning. This venture is more than a business—it’s a tribute to the transformative journey into motherhood, and a way to honor the strength, beauty, and legacy of mothers everywhere, including our own.
Vanessa Castañeda
Photographer & Digital Artist
With over a 20 years of experience in creative direction and fine art photography, I bring a refined, editorial approach to maternity portraiture. My background includes a B.A. from UC Berkeley and an MFA from the School of Visual Arts in NYC, where I photographed red carpet events, weddings, NY fashion week, and editorial stories for Vibe Magazine, Imbibe Magazine, and MLB.com to name a few.
After nearly ten years immersed in New York’s creative world, I returned home to California, producing campaigns for global brands like Google and Apple.
Today, I offer a deeply personalized, luxury experience that blends cinematic artistry with couture styling. Every session is a celebration of transformation, captured with intention, beauty, and care. My goal is to create timeless portraits that honor your journey and become heirlooms for generations to come.
