hello there.
I’m LOLA
Mentor | Mother | Creator
I am a wife, mother of two, photographer and educator who advocates the value of a creative mindset, going against convention, and living a dream life by pursuing what you love.
In 2012 I started my photography studio out of the small living room of my apartment in Brooklyn, NY. Since then, I have been focusing in photographing maternity, motherhood and beauty portraiture of everyday women. It’s been quite a journey, from immigrating to America with only $300 to running a successful photography studio and realizing my dream.
My goal is to inspire other photographers so that they, too, can achieve their goals, transform their own lives, and make a difference in the lives of others.
I can’t say enough about her generosity and her commitment to help other photographers through their journey.
— Tracy Arredondo
