Welcome to the blog, sort of like a digital garden where dreams are planted and grow wild! My name is Quianna and my family calls me “Qui” like key! I’m a traveling photographer based in Scottsdale and the Bay Area.
I love adventures and creating memories even more than I love photographing them—and I LOVE taking photos! In addition to capturing weddings, family milestones, and the best memories I also offer business tools, motivation and inspiration to help creatives turn their passions into their profession. We only get this one life, why not live our days doing what we love?
Please excuse this post as simply a thought bubble and thank you to my mother…
Growing up catholic has taught me a lot. Besides my faith and good ol’ catholic guilt to this day I am still indebted to my mother’s catechism classes.
Church gave me roots in my small town and a sense of community.
Church made me sit still and be quiet, even if I felt antsy/hungry/tired.
Church gave me the confidence to know that no matter what you needed someone knows someone that can help. Whether it be screen printing for softball banners, a trustworthy mechanic, good recommendations for a roofer, or the latest recipe made of three Trader Joe’s ingredients. Everyone knew everyone in our small town.
Church and it’s traditions also taught me A LOT about weddings. Let’s be honest I still have tons to learn about other religions, but I am confident to know the right questions to ask, the traditions to capture and the right time to bow my head without being distracting.
Thanks Mama. Thanks for instilling traditions and life long lessons that to this day bring me back to my childhood memories and keep me well rounded as a photographer. (Even though I very rarely attend my church every Sunday, I have selected a profession that brings me to my faith almost every weekend!) YAY!
Here’s a snap at Saint Francis Cabrini with my Goddaughter for her confirmation!
And another recent shot of my little cousin Nicholas at his Holy Communion!Â
You can expect to hear back from me within 24 hours on weekdays! Weekends are reserved for shooting weddings, but I'll be back in a jif to reply to your message!
Thank you Quianna 💕 You have blessed me in so many ways!
