About Mirelle

Hi, so glad you found me in this happy corner of the Internet! I’m Mirelle — a Los Angeles-based documentary photographer. I love capturing what’s real and sentimental - the honest connection, the sweet little details, the imperfect and the deeply meaningful moments of your beautiful life.



Session Style

I work with families, couples, and new parents who want more than posed photos — you want to feel something when you look back. My sessions are laid-back, creative, and yes, lots of fun. For your kids, it will feel like a goofy playdate. I’ll give you just enough direction to help you feel comfortable, while catching all the magical in-between moments that feel like home.

Every single image is crafted with intention. I hold space for your personalities, connection, movement, emotion — and turn it into art.
