Hi, I’m Milla Urena. My work primarily focuses on capturing emotion, style, and editorial-inspired shoots. I believe that photography is more than just taking a picture but creating a mood, telling a story, and translating feelings into visuals.

As of now, I am studying Journalism and Political Science at Texas Tech’s College of Media and Communications. I believe that my academic background shapes my perspective as a visual storyteller. Writing has taught me how to observe, listen, and make meaning out of the mundane. That same perspective influences the way I approach photography by helping me think critically, move with intention, and explore deeper connections with every project I take on.

Inspired by clean, minimalist design; I always aim to create work that feels upscale yet honest — elevated but still obtainable. Whether I am photographing a model, product, or a candid moment I always focus on creating a story in every frame. 

Currently based in Lubbock, Texas.

Available for work in West Texas and Greater Houston.
