Hi, I’m Roger Ignacio, a portrait and event photographer serving Los Angeles and Ventura County.
​
I specialize in natural light lifestyle photography with a focus on genuine, timeless moments. I don’t use props or backdrops but instead, I let nature be the setting and enhance it with subtle flash techniques in unexpected locations. My style is classic, candid, and minimally posed, allowing real connections and emotions to shine through.
​
I actually started my photography journey back in early 2013, shooting landscapes and cityscapes. I used to spend hours waiting for that perfect moment when the sun dipped below the horizon and lit up the sky with magic. It taught me patience, how to read the light, and how to appreciate the beauty of the natural world.
​​
Later that year, when my daughter was born, everything changed. I didn’t have the same freedom to chase sunsets anymore, so I turned my lens toward her instead. That’s when I fell in love with portrait photography. It felt just as meaningful, if not more. I think that’s a big reason why I love photographing sessions outdoors, using natural light and incorporating nature as part of the story. It connects my past with my present and helps me create images that feel both real and beautiful.
My goal during every session is to help you feel comfortable and have fun. I keep things light and engaging, guiding you into the best light and using a few tricks to spark laughter, connection, and interaction. While I mostly focus on capturing natural, in-the-moment shots, I also include a handful of traditional portraits with everyone looking at the camera—because sometimes you want both.
Whether posed or candid, I aim to create a relaxed experience and deliver images that preserve your most meaningful moments as lasting memories.
