Hi! I am Araceli, owner of AM Designs & Photography.  

I am the mother of two children, Mario, 25 and Jazmine, 23.   Believe me when I say, the years fly by so quickly!  When I am not busy photographing your beautiful milestones, I enjoy my couch & my Chihuahua Daisy.  I love to travel & see new sights. 

I think I have the best job in the world! I get to celebrate your most memorable & special moments with you. I have been in business for over 17 years and have been lucky enough to meet so many amazing people.  

I have had the honor of being voted Merced Sunstar Reader's Choice -Favorite Photographer for several years.

I am amazed at all that is created by the union of two people in love. LOVE=BABIES=FAMILY and that is where our relationship forms. In my eyes, weddings are the beginning of the never-ending circle of love and life.  I always enjoy meeting new people and would love to meet you & work with you to create your own fun, comfortable & beautiful session just for you!
