Hello! My name is Bonni, and I am a photographer based in Huntington Beach, CA. You may recognize me as the girl always running around the Huntington Beach Pier with my french braid pigtails, which is how I got the nickname Bonni In Braids (find me on Instagram @bonniinbraids).

​

My photography career started on the opposite end of the lens, working as a model for over eight years. I learned all about photography by paying close attention to the educators at many photography workshops and training events I modeled for. Having a prior passion for taking pictures, it only made sense to take a position behind the camera after retiring from modeling. 

​

I specialize in surf photography; however, I don't limit myself just to one subject, as you can see from the many different galleries posted under my portfolio. I am inspired by images that evoke emotion on a wide spectrum, and I love capturing it all!

​

Please feel free to reach out to me about collaborations and pricing, which can be fully customized to your needs. I hope you enjoy my work, and I look forward to making beautiful pictures with you!
