Colorado-based Wedding Photographer Excels at Capturing Intimate Moments
After 5 years of teaching high school Spanish, I made a pivot and followed a deep longing in my heart and heritage to become an artist. I have now been a photographer for 5 years, and I have never looked back. I love being able to connect with people from all over the world. I feel honored to witness and capture some of their most intimate and joyous moments. I can without a doubt say that being an artist is the most fulfilling life work for me. It is more than a job for me, it is a lifestyle and it is what makes me come alive.
Although a beach girl at heart, I am falling in love with the mountains of southwest Colorado. If I’m not taking care of my 2 kids, you can find me in the sunshine biking, boarding, pulling weeds, feeding chickens, or playing soccer. I'm a Sagittarius, enneagram 7, single mom, and recently turned into an aspiring homesteader.
As a wedding and elopement photographer, I love to anchor an environment that is relaxed, present, and carefree. When you forget you're being photographed because you're having so much fun - that's when magic comes to life in a photograph. My photos are authentic and intimate, keeping colors true to how you saw them, and capturing your feelings as honestly as you felt them.
Thanks for taking the time to click around and get to know me a little. I would love to hear from you!
