About - Poetic Captures

Hey, we're

Also known as poetic captures

We are portrait photographers based in Phoenix, Arizona, capturing couples, seniors/grads, families, and lifestyle portraits. We are honored to have you considering us to capture your story!

We're a pair of adventurous creatives capturing all of the joy-filled moments in your life. We are originally from California but are fortunate to now call Arizona our home. On any given day you can find us climbing mountains, chasing sunsets, and always looking for our next adventure. We love to travel, explore new cultures, and enjoy discovering new ways of living, thinking, and being. As photographers, we aim to create a space that invites you to be who you truly are and celebrates your identity. We welcome all people to work with us and are committed to capturing timeless, joyful images that feel uniquely YOU

While we love capturing special moments in the lives of the people we work with, we are also invested in pursuing our educational and professional goals. Rafa is a Presidential Postdoctoral Scholar in the math department at Arizona State University while Victoria is an Academic Success Coordinator at ASU. Thanks to you, we are able to continue pursuing both of our passions!

First and foremost, we want you to know that everyone is welcome to work with us! We are committed to creating a space that is safe, inclusive and celebrates you for who you are. All races/ethnicities/cultures/orientations/gender identities and expressions/abilities/sizes are welcome. No matter who you are, or how you identify, come as you are.

We also know that being in front of the camera can feel intimidating for many people. We wholeheartedly believe every individual is unique and distinctly beautiful and our goal is to capture that in every person, couple, or family we work with. We strive to make you feel as comfortable and confident in front of the camera so that when you receive your photos they feel like an authentic representation of YOU.

Our goal is for you to have images that authentically capture who you are and accurately portray how you felt in that moment in time.

That is our commitment to you.
