    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!

    We had an amazing experience with Canela Photography! Our family was long overdue for pictures, and as outdoor enthusiasts, we wanted a session that captured the beauty of one of our favorite family spots. Patty was an absolute pleasure to work with—she truly listened to our ideas and, along with her team, ensured we had beautiful backgrounds and perfect lighting for every shot. Setting up the appointment was a breeze, and Patty’s flexibility with the photo location made everything so convenient. She was prompt and professional throughout, and we were thrilled with how quickly we received our photos for review. The final images exceeded our expectations, and we couldn’t be happier. We are absolutely planning to use Canela Photography again to document our family milestones. If you’re looking for a talented, accommodating, and skilled photographer, look no further! Highly recommend!

    Patty did an AMAZING job for my daughter’s senior pictures. The photos turned out better than we envisioned. Just wow!! She was flexible, easy to work with and quick to respond. I love that she provides access to the entire digital library, unlike many other photographers. We will definitely use her again for family pictures.

    Canela Photography is one of San Diego's best photographers. She takes stunning photos of my daughter. She is incredibly patient and enjoys working on new projects with my daughter. Patty is wonderful, knowledgable, and genuinely amazing at what she does. Also, it makes us feel so comfortable never rushes you out. I would highly recommend Canela Photography to anyone searching for a photographer; she’s absolutely amazing.

    Patty, took so many great photos in a short period of time. She was fun and got a ton of different angles. She provided me with a huge digital library, something I have not received from other photographers in the past. Her edits/retouched photos are awesome. Lastly, she is very responsive to texts! Thank you Patty!
