Hi! I’m Quinci, the face behind the camera.
I’m a Southern California–based lifestyle and portrait photographer with over 7 years of experience behind the camera (3 professionally). My work is rooted in authenticity, connection, and capturing moments like a story being told in that very moment.
I specialize in photographing couples, graduates, families, and creatives, with a goal of providing images that feel warm, inviting, and timeless. If you’re looking for a photographer who prioritizes how a moment feels just as much as how it looks, you’re in the right place.
How It All Began
Quinci Photography started from a simple love for personal growth. I was a junior in high school when I was accepting onto the Hauberk yearbook staff as a photographer. I was shy, inexperienced and overall just not feeling satisfied with my portfolio by the time I graduated. I took on assignments ranging from sports, lifestyle, event and portrait styles, and while very grateful, my takeaways from the experience left me wanting more. There was this need to explore my full potential.
So exactly that, everything translated into my college years. As a Chapman Alumni, my school, while it did have a photography program, I wasn't drawn to the grade aspect and felt the "self-taught" way was the better choice. Instead, I majored in Communication Studies and minored in Visual Journalism, where the two helped me understand how stories unfold, through emotion, body language, and shared moments.
So with that, Quinci Photography was born!
What began as photographing friends and small creative projects quickly turned into something more meaningful: creating images that help people see themselves the way others already do. Not your perceived self, but your true AUTHENTIC self.

What It’s Like Working Together
Booking a session with Quinci Photography is meant to feel easy, supportive, and genuinely fun. From the first inquiry to final delivery, my goal is to create an experience where you feel comfortable being yourself, especially if you’ve ever felt camera-shy or unsure in front of a lens.
I’ll guide you when needed, hype you up when nerves kick in, and step back when a moment deserves to unfold naturally. Sessions are relaxed, conversational, and tailored to you, not a one-size-fits-all formula.
Based in Santa Monica, I photograph sessions throughout Los Angeles and Southern California and am always comfortable traveling for the right location or story. Whether that means a favorite beach, a quiet neighborhood, or somewhere a little farther out, I’m happy to meet you where it feels most you.
At the end of it all, you’ll receive images that feel natural, emotive, and true to who you are. All in all, photos that don’t just document a moment, but reflect how it felt to be there.
If you’re ready to create something meaningful together, I’d love to hear from you!
