THE STORY OF A PHOTOGRAPHER
I am a photographer in my 20s with a love for artistic composition and an eye for beauty in all aspects of life. I find purpose in leading a life of service, helping others, and capturing unique & special moments along the way. I would describe myself as a photojournalist as I love to take photographs that tell a story. I also enjoy shooting in a documentary style of photography because I love photos that have an candid look. At times I add a cinematic feel to my photography. I want every photo I take to make a visual statement. I am inspired by emotion, human connection, intimate moments, filmy vibes, minimalism, urban cities, architecture, vintage cars, movement, storytelling, farm life, earthy tones, blue hour, travel, 1980's style, and so much more - Inspiration is in all directions!
key aspects of my life

Ryan & I have been together for over 5 years! Ryan has been such a strong supporter of mine since the very beginning. I often bring him onto my weddings as my second shooting !

PERSONAL LIFE
Outside of work
I enjoy learning, thifting, listening to podcasts, road trips, movie nights, and coming up with creative shoots of my own. My family is one of the most important aspects of my life. I am a proud aunt KiKi to 3 beautiful nieces. A large part of my youth that impacted me largely was my mission work in Honduras. I love the people, the language, and the culture.
Journey
How I found photography?
I like to thank my daddy. He was the happiest soul, selfless, with a mission to serve anyone in need. He brought joy and laughter wherever he went. When I was 20 years old we lost him unexpectedly in a motorcycle accident. After his death, I struggled with knowing my purpose in life. I had nothing to pull me from that sadness of loss. The only thing I knew to do was to turn to what made me happiest which was putting a smile on other's faces just like my Pops did! Finding photography is what brought happiness and purpose back into my life!
modeling
One thing my hubs and I love to do together is model for content days! We often travel to creative/styled photoshoots put on by photographers. Those photos are then often used as content for their portfolio, social media advertisement, and websites! It's been such a wonderful way for me to connect with other artists and vendors as well as feel what it's like to be in front of the camera!
