If I had to describe my style, I would say my images are painterly and romantic. I set my shots up methodically and ensure that everything is framed and composed just right. Your gallery will be rendered with a fine art touch and a film-like feel.
I’m a sucker for beautiful lighting. As much as I can, you will have images where the sun is just enveloping your backs providing you with a gorgeous, golden halo.

If we want to get technical, I got my first camera when I was six years old, and that really put everything into motion. Taking after my mother who was a professional photographer when I was a child, I always had a camera in my hand and was the one bothering friends to get together for a photo. In 2010, I got my first DSLR camera and spent most of my time photographing friends for their senior photos, high school sweethearts, and making my sister model for me at local parks.
I spent about 10 years loosely pursuing it, but more often than I should have I set the camera aside to focus on work and paying bills. Luckily, the lightbulb really came on in the summer of 2021 when I took maternity photos for a friend at the Mogollon Rim! I fully immersed myself at that point. Working 40 hours a week at a desk and spending every weekend photographing couples, families, and models.
Flash forward to January of 2023, I officially left Corporate America and went full-time with photography. It is by far the best decision I have ever made. Being able to pursue my passion and be more stable and far freer than ever before has been exactly what my mental health needed. -
I think my experience so far, I’ve met more people who do not enjoy having their photo taken than people who do! My number one goal when I work with you is that you feel totally comfortable and have an amazing time. I like to run my sessions more prompt based than pose based. This means we’ll be playing little games, getting cozy, and before you know it, you don’t even realize your photo is being taken. I love when someone receives their gallery and says “my husband never smiles that big for pictures!” or “how did you get such a genuine smile?”
It’s all a part of my methods and spending the whole time ensuring you are having a blast. -
Yes! I am fully licensed and ensured through both State Farm and Professional Photographers of America.
If your venue needs to see proof of either, I am happy to provide it to them!
