Soft light,
honest stories
Portrait and lifestyle photographer, based in ORANGE COUNTY.
We're based in Orange County, California - with a cozy studio in Mission Viejo and travel sessions available throughout Orange County, LA, and San Diego.
Whether it's your newborn's first days, quiet family moments, or just a season of life you want to remember — we're here to gently capture it all.
Our sessions are simple, relaxed, and
intentionally calm. We want you to feel at ease, to enjoy the process, and to walk away with photos that feel just like you.
We offer both natural-light lifestyle photography and in-studio sessions with custom lighting setups - because your story deserves to be captured the way that feels right to you.
my only rule is
To show people how beautiful they are
since 2005
Hi! I'm Ziba
the person behind the lens
photographer, artist, mom of three, and a lifelong lover of light.
I'm based in Mission Viejo, Orange County, and I speak both English and Farsi.
My passion for photography began early - so early, in fact, that instead of attending regular high school, I enrolled in a photography-focused school in 8th grade. I earned my diploma with top marks, exhibited in two group shows as a teenager, and even received a local award at 18 for my work on social documentary photography.
Later, I studied graphic design and illustration at university, where I deepened my love for visual storytelling. After moving to the U.S., I started my photography business in 2019 — and it's been the most fulfilling journey of my life.
Photography isn't just my profession — it's how I connect, how I express, how I grow.
I specialize in lifestyle and portrait photography, both in natural light and studio settings, and my goal is always the same: to create gentle, meaningful images that feel like home.
