My given name "Ziva" means "ray of light", which turned out to be prophetic as I developed my photography skill and keen eye while working at a top Entertainment and Public Relations photography studio in Los Angeles.

I am extremely passionate about photography and feel that it not only
nourishes my eye but also feeds my soul. This is parlayed into the way I shoot and is evident in my subject matter, composition, creativity, and "feel good" images. My personal shooting style includes capturing the spirit, emotions and essence of the day, from the spontaneous moments, to the portraits, all of which tells a couples unique story.

When I am not shooting events and award shows in Los Angeles, I am often globe-trekking the four corners of the world in order to capture the spirit of diverse cultures, including photographing various wedding traditions in different countries. While traveling, I often volunteer my photographic services to several non-profit organizations as I feel that it is important to give back to those less fortunate than I.

My images have been published in several newspapers, magazines, books and calendars and have been exhibited in Los Angeles.
