Through adversity, I've found renewed passion in capturing life's beauty with warmth and authenticity at Light and Life Studios.

Welcome to Light and Life Studios! I'm Janina Dela Vega, a devoted wife, proud mother, and passionate photographer based in beautiful San Diego, CA.

Photography has been my love and livelihood for over 8 years. However, life threw me a curveball when my previous body of work was unexpectedly destroyed/damaged, leaving me to rebuild from scratch.

Despite this setback, I remain undeterred and more determined than ever to continue pursuing my passion for capturing life's precious moments. Each click of my camera is not just a photograph; it's a testament to resilience and the unwavering spirit of creativity.

As a Christian mom, I believe in the power of faith, love, and connection. These values inspire and guide my work, infusing each image with depth, emotion, and authenticity.

Whether it's a tender family portrait, a joyful milestone celebration, or a serene moment in nature, I approach each session with creativity, warmth, and dedication. My goal is to not just take photographs but to create timeless memories that you'll treasure for a lifetime.

Thank you for considering Light and Life Studios to capture your special moments. I can't wait to meet you and embark on this creative journey together!

Warm regards,

Janina Dela Vega
Founder, Light and Life Studios
