“It’s one thing to make a picture of what a person looks like, it’s another thing to make a portrait of who they are.”

— Paul Caponigro

I am an Arizona based portrait photographer that wants to help tell your story. My goal is to build meaningful connections and be much more than just your photographer - I will also be the person you can laugh and be yourself with. I strive to offer a fun experience so we can create beautiful images that you will cherish for years to come. Here are some fun facts to get to know me!

  • I’m a natural light portrait and wedding photographer. My photography style can be described as bright, warm, and vibrant.

  • I LOVE animals. I’m a proud dog mom and volunteer at the animal shelter. You are always welcome to bring your furry friends along for your session!

  • Phoenix is my home, but I’m always up to travel! Sedona and Flagstaff are some of my favorite locations to shoot. Whether it’s wandering the desert, hiking the mountains, or swimming through creeks, count me in!

  • I was first introduced to photography and graphic design in high school. I immediately fell in love and decided that was what I wanted to study in college. During college, I decided to turn my passion into my career! This truly is my dream job.

  • I graduated from Northern Arizona University. I earned a Bachelor’s degree in Studio Photography, Bachelor’s degree in Advertising, and a minor in Public Relations. I’m an alumna member of the sorority Pi Beta Phi and Order of Omega.

  • I am Content Marketing Certified and SEO Certified by HubSpot. I’ve worked as a Digital Content Manager and Digital Marketing Specialist.
