My passion for photography started about 15 years ago, with a film photography class in High School. I took the class just to fill some art credits; it seemed cool at the time, so why not? Little did I know, this art would change my life and become my reason for existence! I continued my photography education at the University of Nevada, Reno with music as my major, and photography as my minor. After college, I started working a “real adult job” for several years at Custom Ink, while still dabbling in photography on the side. 

I actually photographed a friend's wedding in Hawaii right out of college, and I was so nervous that I said I wouldn't photograph a wedding ever again. Ironic much? A couple years later another friend asked me to photograph her wedding, and I told her, "sure, but I have zero clue what I'm doing". After shooting their engagement shoot prior to their wedding, my soul lit completely on fire. Like it blew the heck up in flames!! I knew this was what I was meant to do. It was my calling. I left the shoot, called my husband on my way home, and that photography is what I want to do with my life. That was October of 2018. I was tired of sitting on the sidelines of my own life waiting for it to begin, and finally told myself, “SCREW IT! I am putting myself out there and doing the damn thing!!!” And I DID! I started deep diving into my photography business that month and haven't stopped since.

I fucking love what I do, and I do it with my whole heart and soul.

I do not take it lightly that you're entrusting me to capture the biggest day of your life. In return, I will protect you, serve you, and give you my best self. I will capture your memories and tell your story as honestly and authentically as possible. I will pour every ounce of energy I have into you two. I pinch myself every damn day to make sure this is really my job. I fucking love what I do, and I do it with my whole heart and soul.

Let's chat & get this ball rolling! →

My family is everything I never knew I needed. They rock my world and make it go round. 

What started as just me living in an apartment deciding to not be alone anymore and adopt a cat, turned into the greatest family unit of all time. Over the years I’ve added the best husband on planet earth. The tiniest cutest dog - I always say, “he’s a toy!” A collection of 105 plants - I’ve counted haha. A psychopath wild girl dog who thinks she’s the center of attention. And another dog! All of whom are named after musicians - Willie Nelson, Patsy Cline, and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. The final cherry on top is now a human baby boy to complete it all. Our house is bursting at the seams with love and feels so complete.

If I had to pick my ideal happiest last day on earth, it could be either of two very different days

01

Relax at home all day long with all the fur babies, my human baby, and my husband baby (IYKYK). Order pizza through Door Dash and binge a Netflix show.

02

Go for a crazy adventure with all of the same creatures and stay out all day long in the middle of nowhere Nevada. Off road and search for the coolest remote hot spring, cook Twinkie’s on a fire, drink red wine out of an old solo cup, and watch the sun go down together before sleeping under the stars. 

The biggest reason I love capturing love for a living is because of the immense love I have for my own family. I firsthand know the importance of immortalizing the big & the little moments in our lives. The feeling of looking back on our wedding photos years later and knowing I’m going to be reminiscing on those memories for the rest of my life. Cherishing the silly blurry candid photos of us in our first home loving on our baby surrounded by animals and plants. Our photos of our biggest memories are my most important keepsake - the only tangible thing I have to remind me that I went from a young 20 year old adopting a cat, to a 31 year old business owner with the greatest loves of her life and a world full of love she never knew was possible. 


Our family! <3
