Ariel is a Santa Monica based photographer drawn to light, movement, and the quiet beauty of human connection. Her work is rooted in authenticity, focusing on genuine emotion, subtle details, and the in-between moments that often become the most meaningful.

With a thoughtful, relaxed approach behind the camera, Ariel creates space for you to feel comfortable and fully yourself. Inspired by natural light and storytelling, she approaches each session with a cinematic eye, an instinct for pacing, emotion, and story shaped by her career as a television producer.

Ariel's primary work is in adventure television, where she's spent the last ten years producing for companies including CBS, Netflix, Discovery, and The New York Times. That same eye for authentic, unscripted moments carries directly into her photography.

For Ariel, photography is about more than a single image. It's about preserving a feeling.

She regularly services Los Angeles, Mendocino Counties and destinations beyond.
