Cinematic Film Inspired Portraiture & Wedding Photography

Hello! I'm the eyes behind the lens!

 

• I’m an Arizona native turned Alaskan as of ‘22
• Wife to the most amazing man and mom to the best kiddos on the planet.
• We have a small family farm raising dairy goats and live a self sustainably motivated and conscious life.
• I’m also a (now retired) cosmetologist by trade as well as a dance fitness instructor.

What makes life so good?

The divine creator God within us all, Christ's teachings, culture, nostalgia in all its forms, eclectic style, effortless beauty, healthy food, fitness and spiritual wellness.

I have been behind some sort of camera for the last 25 years, although it wasn't until '08 that I opened up my first studio and graduated from the New York Institute of Photography. I've shot everything from portraits and film in a studio at the age of 17 to modeling portfolios, seniors, boudoir, engagements, weddings, maternity, newborns and families...all landing me at my final destination of a honed documentary and cinematic approach that allows me to tell stories creatively and authentically using this thing that I call my “dinosaur camera”.

I believe the magic is not behind the latest and greatest equipment, it’s not behind extravagance, it’s not behind perfect smiles.

I believe the magic is in the imperfection and connection. The grit, the blur, the movement, the stillness, the details that play to all the senses, the real emotion and raw goodness that makes this human experience we call life… beautiful.
 

 I believe with my whole heart when I feel something and I capture it intentionally, it has a ripple effect.
