Get to know me
Hey! I am Nusha Cortez, a passionate San Diego-based photographer, dedicated to capturing the beautiful moments of your life. I believe every family has a unique story to tell. My love for photography began in childhood in Serbia, inspired by my father, who was a videographer. After starting my own family, I honed my skills and developed a deep appreciation for the joy and connection that shine through family moments. I specialize in natural, candid photography that reflects authentic emotions and creates timeless memories.
More about me
My goal is to make every session relaxed and fun, so you can forget the camera and just enjoy being together. I genuinely love meeting new families, hearing their stories, and creating images that will make you smile for years to come. When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll find me exploring San Diego with my family, painting, or hunting for the perfect cup of coffee—always ready to bring a little joy and curiosity to everything I do.
I offer a variety of session options to fit your family’s style and comfort. Whether you love the warm, natural feel of outdoor locations, the intimate coziness of an in-home session, or the clean, classic look of a studio setup, each option is designed to meet your needs. My studio sessions include professional backdrops and lighting equipment to create beautifully polished images, while outdoor and in-home sessions focus on authentic, relaxed moments in familiar spaces and natural light. No matter the setting, my goal is to create a comfortable, enjoyable experience and timeless photos you’ll truly love.
