My name is

I’m a Southern California native who just moved back home after spending four wonderful and blessed years in the beautiful state of Colorado! While there, I earned my Bachelor’s Degree in Strategic Communication and Digital Media from Colorado Christian University (Go Cougs!). During that season, that is is where I fell in love with the art of photography.

I chased sunsets, volunteered my friends as models, spent hours deep in Pinterest, and leaned heavily on my sister — who’s also an amazing photographer. And somehow, all of that turned into a business I’m pretty proud of.

Just some fun facts.

my sport

I learned how to snowboard my sophomore year of college and I was quite surprised with how fast I picked it up. I tried every sport throughout my childhood, so let’s just say I was THRILLED to be good at snowboarding.

little sis

You read that right — I’m the little sister, and proud of it. I grew up with three sisters, and while I might not have said this as a kid, it’s one of the greatest blessings the Lord has given me. I’ve learned so much from them, and they’re all truly my besties. <3

The care behind the work.

These are moments you never want to settle on capturing — fleeting, meaningful, and impossible to recreate. Your investment isn’t just for images, but for the care, presence, and intentional work that goes behind them. From thoughtful preparation to careful editing and everything in between, I believe in being transparent about where your investment goes and why it matters.

More than the moment itself.

I am so glad you’re here,

Now I’d love to hear your story.

Whether you’re planning a wedding day or dreaming up a photo session, I’d be honored to capture this season with care and intention.
