    We have been using Patty for almost 4 years and will continue to use her for as long as she’s still photographing! We’ve done 4 sessions with her over the years, and her skills are remarkable! The lighting by which she captures the photos are unparalleled! She is also so sweet!

    I had an amazing experience with Canela Photography! She is incredibly friendly, making the shoot comfortable and enjoyable. Her creativity truly stands out—she has a wealth of unique ideas that brought our vision to life. The quality of the dance photos is outstanding, beautifully capturing movement and emotion. In addition to dance photography, she excels at family photography as well. Her ability to capture heartwarming moments creates images that perfectly express the atmosphere. Looking at her photos brings back beautiful memories. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a talented and versatile photographer!

    We worked with Patty twice. We first found her through a special package and we are extremely impressed and grateful to have her creative input and services. She suggested great locations and took her time capturing both posed and candid photos of our daughter/family. We were happy with the results and hired her for special events for my daughter’s birthday. She had always been prompt, honest, sincere, and a pleasure to know and work with. She did not disappoint and she will be the first photographer I think of when the time comes again for a family photoshoot. We want to thank her and her son for being a delight and professional. Her turn around time was thorough and she edits all the photos in time through her gallery. (1-2weeks)

    Great experience! The photographer was very professional and helped pick a great location as we were not familiar with the area. We did a family beach session and the photos turned out amazing. We got a ton of photos and the one we chose to display in our home gets so many compliments. We highly recommend.
