Photographs That Grow More Precious With Every Year

Ariane Moshayedi captures the real connections — between parents and children, brands and their audience, individuals and their truest selves — in images you'll return to for a lifetime.

Photography as Legacy

Ari believes the photos you take today become your most treasured possessions tomorrow — and she brings that reverence to every session.

No two sessions are the same. Every shoot is shaped around your story, your style, and what makes your family or brand distinctly yours.

A Studio That Feels Like Home

Clients describe Ari's Newport Beach studio as calm, serene, and instantly welcoming — the ideal environment for authentic, natural moments.

About Ari

More Than
a Photographer.
A Memory Keeper.

Ariane Moshayedi — known to her clients as Ari — is a Southern California native, mom of three (and one bulldog), and passionate photographer based in Newport Beach. She built her photography practice around a conviction she holds deeply: that a photograph doesn't show its full value until years later, when it becomes a window into a moment and a connection that can never be recreated.

Ari's approach is anything but stiff. Her sessions are warm, fun, and genuinely easygoing — because she knows that the best images come when people feel comfortable, seen, and like themselves. Happiest near the ocean, she brings that same unhurried, coastal ease to every shoot.

Whether she's empowering a professional to own their personal brand, documenting a family's irreplaceable bond, or capturing the tiny details of a newborn, Ari brings the same dedication to every frame: to help her clients craft and preserve their legacy.

Client Stories

What Clients Say

From the moment we walked into her calm and serene studio, we felt at ease. Coupled with Ari's friendly and warm nature, the whole experience was amazing. And then, the pictures… WOW! She captured our sweet baby girls' innocence and tiny details. We couldn't be more thrilled with the whole experience.

Newport Beach Client

Ari made the whole 1st birthday photo session seamless. She made us feel at ease, so welcome, and her studio is amazing. She knew exactly how to get my daughter photo-ready on set, bringing out those smiles and laughs. She was so great to work with and we can't imagine doing family photos any other way.
