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.

Outdoorsy is an understatement. Don’t get me wrong, I really did enjoy the city life: there was always a concert to go to, the airport flew internationally, and the food choices were 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 elopements out in the wild, snowboarding with my sister, or tending to the chickens in the backyard coop (now that I live in rural Texas).

I have 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 donations 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!

I’ve got the travel bug, and it’s bad. I’ve been to twelve countries: Canada, Mexico, the Netherlands, England, France, Switzerland, Italy, Spain, Greece, Iceland, Turkey, and Germany! 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.
