To be completely honest, I'm not like all the rest. And neither are you, and that's why you're here!
You know that your love story is timeless, and undefined by conventional milestones. Your story was authored in the lightness of stolen kisses in the morning while making coffee, coming home to tight hugs plus a little ass grabbing after work, and in the moments when your partner was the only person that made you smile on a day where all you wanted to do was cry.
Those tiny moments, those little stories, they're not like all the rest. Your wedding photos shouldn't be, either. Let's create images that tell your whole story - not just one page of it.
Feeling nervous to book because you are "awkward in front of the camera?" Big same. And because I "get it," you can trust me to take the anxiety out of the experience and ease the nervous energy. I pinky promise, we're gonna have fun. And you're going to look great.
My photography is inclusive and celebratory of all identities. I'm here to make you feel seen, not judged. I am here to tell LOVE STORIES in every form. I love love, and I love taking photos that celebrate everything that makes you, you.
I'm all about the eclectic, authentic, unorthodox couples who are kind and in love. Let's get weird, but make it beautiful.
In all the forms they take, and places they inhabit.
Your hand in mine.

Life is not one-dimensional, and neither are you. That's why I strive to capture your intimacy, and your fun and playful side, too! It is my hope that when life - or even your love - gets hard, you'll be able to look back at these images, take a deep breath, and sink into memories that hold the fullness of your love.
I started on my grandpa's film camera...
When I was in high school, I took a photography course and had to use my grandpa's old film Nikon. To this day, I carry that camera (and a slew of other film cameras) around with me because I love that film captures subjects in a way that digital just can't. Not to say one is better than the other, which is why I adore shooting a film/digital hybrid.
You can add film into any of your packages. And I promise you'll love the way they somehow perfectly juxtapose and yet perfectly complement one another in your album.
Stuff I Like
Not all who wander are Lost...
And I can't think of a more symbolic and great wanderer than my favorite animal - The American Bison.
Bison have an intrinsic nature that calls them to wander and roam. I can relate. The mountains and deserts of Colorado always call me back home, but I feel called to document love stories by the sea, in the forest, on towering mountains, and even within urban cities.
There is nowhere I won't travel for your love - and there is nothing I won't do to go above and beyond when I document it!
Stuff I Like
"When you're in the desert...
you look into infinity.
It makes you feel terribly small, and also in a strange way, quite big."
Stuff I Like
"And I want to sleep with you in the desert night...
With a billion stars all around
'Cause I got a peaceful easy feelin'
And I know you won't let me down
'Cause I'm already standin'
On the ground."

My love for southwestern jewelry...
came from my grandmother. She loved old turquoise and even gave me my first turquoise and silver piece as a child. Before she passed, she gifted me one of her amazing turquoise bracelets, and a small Sleeping Beauty necklace/earring set. They are my most worn piece of jewelry.
Not only does turquoise photograph beautifully, but I love that it's a stone that's symbolic of western grit and Native Lands, and also a harmonious blend of tradition in making the jewelry, with the new fashion and travels of the person who takes it with them to their new adventures. There's something so enchanting about that.
