    Book Mia now before other people booked her! Mia did our engagement photos and made my fiancé and I feel so COMFORTABLE and her photos are AMAZING!!!

    Mia was so great to work with! She did our engagement photos in September last year, and made my fiancé and I feel so COMFORTABLE and her photos are AMAZING!!! When we were finally getting around to booking our wedding photographer and of course we have Mia in mind because we love our engagement photos so much! Our wedding will be in October 2023, unfortunately she has booked out for another wedding on the day.

    Even before retouching, we could not believe the amazing quality of her photos. We will definitely be working with her in the future because of her professionalism and talent!

    We have so many people asking who our photographer was, and telling us how beautiful our photos are.

    We could not be happier that we chose PKA Photography to photograph our engagement! Just wish we could book them sooner for our wedding.

    Mia was nothing short of AMAZING!!! I would recommend her a million times over!!

    Mia was nothing short of AMAZING!!! I hired her to take pictures when I proposed to my girlfriend in San Diego. I'm from Seattle and knew nothing about the area or what I should do for the surprise. Mia helped me everything from location, clothing and even a second location once our first spot got rained out. Her pictures that she was able to capture were STUNNING. I would recommend her a million times over!!

    I loved how she handled all the guest especially that one that wants to be in all the pictures

    Mia was the photographer for my daughter's wedding. She was absolutely wonderful- made my day easier not having to worry about photos. She took beautiful pictures. Best part is you did not realize she was there. I loved how she handled all the guest especially that one that wants to be in all the pictures. She redirected that guest in a peaceful manner.

    Best part she was able to sent lots of pictures the same night for me to review. Definitely would hired her services again!

Hey There

My name is LaRon .

I come from a storied background of photography and visual media. I attended Brooks Institute of Photography for Commercials and Music Videos where I received my undergraduate degree.

After college, I continued taking photos and videos of my travels as well as my time spent living in San Francisco/ Bay Area.

I now live in San Diego, where I am exploring the realm of photography and visual media on several platforms and would love to bring my vision to your project.

I am also a skilled Drone Pilot and Photograher and highly skilled in the latest techniques of photo editing and post-production for video and film.

Photographer / Videographer

Hi I am Mia.
I learned painting since I was 5, it built my love of art at a very young age. I then learned Commercial Advertising and Design in University.
During my spare time of school , I started a part-time modeling job when I was 18, it opened a gate for me to work with many professional photographers and to learn from them. That’s where I enhanced my posing skills, layout skills, finding the best angles for lighting , and more technical aspects of photography.
Since 2002, I started traveling around the world with my cameras. The more I see, the more I want to capture it on film.
I love to capture natural things and the most natural moments of people. I love to explore with my clients and catch the spirit of the day. I love to see how happy my clients are when they see the final work is higher than their expectation. I love to capture special moments in people’s lives and share their story in a way that is honest, artistic, and unique…


My formula for photography is two parts:

  1. Tell your story. This is so important. I don't want to only tell the story of a perfectly posed smiling clients. I want those in between moments, as well. I want to see your real emotion, laughter, exhaustion, all of it! Basically, a bit more polished version of your real life.
  2. Take the photographs I wish I had of me & mine. I am mother, partner, daughter, friend. So I deeply understand the importance of capturing that beautiful bond.


I would be honored to tell your story!
