Hey there!

If you want to see into my world and get to know those peepers behind the camera, you are in the right place!

A photographer is typically the first or second vendor couples typically book for their wedding. I've decided that it must be because we're going to be spending a lot of time together. The importance of our connection as team is that we're buddies in my professional opinion... I am passionate about love, I pride myself in my being an inclusive woman owned business, when the camera is on and when it's off. When we have our first consultation, I actually want to get to know who I'm working with. Mainly because I like to have fun, I want us laughing, dancing, a little bit of crying, and then back to dancing again. I can’t help but to capture movement and raw authentic moments. Keeping my eye out for the real laughs, the one trickling tear, the kids doing their kid thing, you know...the good stuff. Some may say my style is true-to-life and photojournalistic. I like to call it: the memories you're not going to know happened, the moment your partner sets eyes on you for the first time, the time where the lights go down and it's the last dance of the evening. The trust you'll have in me is uncanny. I've got your back is all I mean to say. If you're dying to know a little more of what I'm here for keep scrolling.

You had me at Hello!

My style

I am deeply influenced by movement and authentic self expression. I prefer natural, candid, joyful and documentary imagery. No dull moments with this gal! It’s most important that you enjoy your party and be apart of your own wedding day. I got your back, and want to make your day memorable and provide you with a precious keepsake of your love story.

then...

In 2017, I finally got my feet underneath me and felt like a local in Salida, CO. I was engaged to be married, saving up to buy a home. It was all seemingly wonderful until the day before Mother’s Day, when I was notified at my doorstep that my mom had passed away the night before. She was in a fatal car accident. My world instantly fell apart. At 24, I struggled to see purpose in life. Getting through a day at my 9-to-5 was torturous. When I cleaned out her home I found all of the decor that she had been collecting for my wedding that was scheduled just three months later. Having those pieces at my wedding was so special knowing she helped put it all together.

That November, I enrolled in a yoga teacher training program and even though I cried every single day, I knew it’s what I had to do to mend my broken heart. I could express myself in a safe place with people who may not have understood my pain, but allowed it and supported me. I’ve also got therapy to thank, but over time, even though I still miss her, I can stand up tall and remember her loving smile and contagious laugh.

In her name, I had started taking photos again. All I had left of my mom were photos. They still mean so much to me that I decided to hold a Free Annual Mother’s Day Session in the park for all the mothers. For the past seven years, I’ve given upwards of 300 families memories to have forever at no charge. Donations were given to the local family and women’s health clinics in Salida and my home town. This year, will be the seventh year without her.

I know she would be so proud of the strong independent woman I have become. What I took from this unfortunate experience was that I am love, I am light, and unconditional love exists around us amongst everyone and everything, not just our mommas and papas.

In 2021, COVID hit us hard and I felt that I needed to make a decision. Should I keep pretending that photography is just a hobby of mine or go all in… I was enrolled in Pueblo Community College about to pay $30,000 to become a Dental Hygienist. Instead, I hired a business coach, built my website and started marketing myself as a Wedding Photographer. I figured since I’ve already put $20,000 into my photography education, might as well invest in myself and be a f*cking photographer all ready! Imposter syndrome is a tough cookie to crack. But…

and now

In 2024, I now reside in Longmont, Colorado with my dachshund Remy and my partner. I’ve traveled to Ireland, Liverpool, Scotland, Mexico, and Australia alone and felt overwhelmingly empowered and well fed. I snorkeled in the Great Barrier Reef, roller skated in the Arizona desert, came out of the closet, skydived topless, create magic, and went to Burning Man for the 5th time.

When I’m not behind the camera, you can usually catch me by the snack bar, smelling flowers, or petting any random dogs that happen to boop on by. Since we’re getting real… I try way too hard at being a kitchen witch, I love cackling at comedy clubs, and I wish so badly that I could stick to one craft and finish it before starting the next. I’m absolutely drawn towards brunch signs, drag shows, and karaoke. “Believe” by Cher is my go to.

I’m an Aries and an Enneagram 2 if you’re wondering, I’m a helper. “Two’s exemplify the desire to feel loved, to connect with others in a heartfelt way, and to be a source of benevolence and love in our world.” Well that just hit the nail on the head…

I truly cannot resist a good love story and I will definitely ugly cry when I watch you have your first dance. Photography is my work but my passion is celebrating unique love with unique people.

Other than photography and puppies, I’m very passionate about human rights, mental health, and love for all. We all deserve a safe space to share love and be ourselves without judgement. If you agree, we’ll be pals, I guarantee it!

I feel so at peace in the great outdoors, and love going on adventure shoots with outdoorsy slow pokes who enjoy being in the moment. I care deeply about providing couples with a really fun time and photos to prove it, because let's face it, sometimes memories can be a bit fuzzy after a few drinks. So, let's pop that champagne, dance the night away, and make some magic together! I believe that love is all about embracing the weird in your relationship, whether that means pushing your honey in a shopping cart through Trader Joe's, or cuddling up with your pet llama.

My goal is to make you feel comfortable, confident, and just a little teary-eyed, while being the little butterfly on the wall to capture those moments that show off the love in your eyes. So let's get weird, let's share some laughs, and let's make some unforgettable, unapologetic and authentic times together!
