Every soul’s got a story to tell
Hi, I'm Mercy!
I specialize in pausing family moments
I’m a family, kids, and maternity photographer with a passion for capturing authentic moments. As a full-time mom of four spirited children—Nathan (10), Jesse (7), Amelia (5), and Lilianna (2)—I know just how precious those family memories are. Based in Phoenix, Arizona, I thrive in the great outdoors, embracing the beauty of nature through hiking and exploring all that our stunning state has to offer.
When I’m not behind the camera, editing, or creating cherished memories with clients, you’ll find me on an adventure, soaking up the wild spirit of country life. I’m a true country girl at heart—whether it's jamming to my favorite tunes, donning my western wardrobe, or enjoying late-night rides with my horses. I used to joke that I’d never be a doctor or a lawyer; instead, I’d ride off into the sunset, and now I get to do just that—capturing beautiful moments for you and your family!
Trust me, I know how important it is to hold on to every moment.
My passion for photography runs deep, rooted in childhood memories of my mom capturing every event, adventure, and daily life with her camera. She always said that if a fire broke out, we had to save the scrapbooks first! I didn’t realize just how significant those moments were until my first son arrived. I began photographing every tiny detail—the silly expressions, those tiny fingers, his favorite sleeping positions, and those delightful giggles. After creating countless photo albums and welcoming three more little ones, I discovered my true love for photography.
Before long, friends and neighbors in my community noticed my work and sought out my help to capture their own precious family moments in that same authentic and bold style. I’m grateful for my motherhood journey, as it’s allowed me to document the beautiful stories of other families through my lens at Caballero Photos

Growing up, I loved watching the movies, and as I got older, that love only grew stronger. In fact, I was so inspired that I named three of my kids after some of my favorite characters! Luke, Leya, and Rey are all middle names in our family
