 Here’s the scoop:

 

  • I’ve been a photographer for about a decade now. I began running my own little photography business when I was a sophomore in highschool. Now, at 27, I’m lucky enough to say my passion has blossomed into my full-time profession!

  • I taught myself. Well… mostly. For the first five years, it was all Youtube tutorials and practice, practice, practice (lucky for me, my dad had an old Canon camera gathering dust in the closet). Later, in college, I majored in photography and in May of 2018, I graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the University of Nevada, Reno.

  • I’ve got big shoes to fill. My dad is a successful electrician who has been in business for over thirty years, and my mom is a selfless workaholic who spends her time gathering donated items & raising funds for local rescues. I like to think I inherited the very best from both my parents, so in addition to running my photography company, I volunteer my services to a nonprofit called Tiny Spirits. These dear family friends of mine travel with their miniature horses to various hospitals in my hometown of Las Vegas to provide equine-assisted therapy (and smiles!) to those in need. Check them out!

  • Outdoorsy is an understatement. Don’t get me wrong, I really did enjoy the city life: there’s always a concert to go to, the airport flies internationally, and your food choices are practically unlimited. But I spent much of my childhood outside the city - camping, fishing, ATVing, all kinds of cool stuff - and outside the city is still where I love to be. My weekends are often spent photographing weddings out in the desert, snowboarding, or tending to our chickens in the backyard coop (now that I live in rural Texas).

  • I’ve got the travel bug, and it’s bad. I’ve been to eleven countries: Canada, Mexico, Iceland, Italy, France, England, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Spain, Greece, and Turkey! My sister and I make it a point to travel internationally at least once a year, but I’d like to up that a little (or a lot). So if you’re planning your dream destination wedding, but you still need a photographer, no worries - I’m there.

 
 

what am I paying for?

i. THE VISION: Let’s collaborate! Feel free to toss out any and all “weird” ideas you may have - nothing is off-limits. If you’re not sure exactly what you want, don’t stress! From location selection to picking the best time of day to get that “wow” lighting, I’ll help guide you through your options so we can get the photos you’ve been dreaming of. During your photoshoot, I’ll tell you exactly where to stand, what to do with your hands, and I promise to coax out those authentic smiles (even if you’re “SO awkward in front of the camera”). My job is to make your photoshoot effortless - all you have to do is show up and have fun!

 

ii. THE EXPERTISE: I am, admittedly, a tad bit of a perfectionist. While many of my skills are self-taught, I wanted to make sure I had every technique and trick I could possibly have up my sleeve. This led me to pursue and acquire a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in photography, then further my studies by working alongside some of the best in the business. I’m proud to say that I’ve learned from numerous professionals during my career, including wedding photographer power-couple Tourine & Trevor Johnstone, and Trey Tomsik of Scenic Las Vegas Weddings. Throughout the years, I’ve photographed HUNDREDS of portrait sessions and weddings, and I’ve seen it all. So no matter what the day throws at us, whether it be inclement weather, a broken heel, or fussy toddlers, we’ll make it happen.

 

iii. THE PHOTOS: “Meticulous in my craft.” That is how I would describe myself. A photographer’s job continues long after the photoshoot ends - 5+ hours of post-processing goes into every single gallery I create. Each of my photographs are edited individually, by hand; I don’t use generic presets or one-click skin-smoothing techniques, which means each gallery is unique and every photo is flawless. I pride myself in all the details, from beautiful, natural colors to bright, white smiles - because everyone deserves to have photos that are as stunning as they are.

 The FAQs:

Q: Will you travel to other cities?

A: Absolutely! Other cities, other states, other countries - I’d go to outer space for a photoshoot if I could. I adore exploring new places, and there’s so much of this world I still have yet to see. Destination weddings and elopements are my jam, and I’d love to be there to capture yours!

Q: Are you LGBTQ+ friendly?

A: You bet! We are all beautiful originals, and love is love. You can count me in.

Q: Can I bring my pets to my photoshoot?

A: In one word: YES! Pets are part of the family too, and they are more than welcome to any photoshoot (as long as the selected location is pet-friendly). I also offer photo sessions for just pets: dogs, cats, horses, hamsters, you name it! I have lots of experience with all kinds of critters and would be more than happy to assist in creating some wall-worthy shots of your furry (or scaley, or feathered) friends.

Q: I see guaranteed minimum yields for your portrait packages, but how many photos can I expect to receive from my wedding or elopement?

A: Excellent question. The reason I don’t list a “minimum yield” for my wedding/elopement packages is because every single one is different. The number of photos you get back depends on so many variables: how many guests are at your wedding, the travel time (if any) between getting ready, ceremony, and reception locations, how much time you allot for dinner, etc. So while I can’t give you an exact number, what I can promise is that you will have more than enough photographs to tell the story of your special day - accurately, and beautifully.

Q: Can I customize my wedding or elopement packages?

A: Of course! It’s YOUR big day, and I’m here to make all your wishes come true. If you’re looking to add some things that aren’t already included, or take away some things to help you stay within your budget, just send me an email with your thoughts and together we’ll discuss how we can make it happen.

Q: How can I stay informed on things like upcoming sales & destination opportunities?

A: You can always check back to this website for up-to-date info including newly-added travel dates, wedding conventions & art shows, and flash-sales on photoshoots. But the easiest way to stay in-the-know is to follow me on social media:

Q: What makes your photography unique?

A: I’m glad you asked! In addition to being a relentless perfectionist, I also consider myself an avid sunrise/sunset portraitist. With the soft, gorgeous lighting of the sun rising on the horizon and the bold colors of those evening skies, you can’t go wrong! Oh, and don’t forget, dusk & dawn are the perfect times to get some incredible sillhouettes. Check it out! ⇩
