About
I have always been a story-teller from a child, writing poetry and short stories, long before my introduction to photography. My goal in photography is to capture the beauty and authenticity of non-models to highlight the essence of their strengths, feelings, and individuality. I have learned that photography tells the story that I can not put into words and I am striving to be ground-breaking in the field.
I am endlessly inspired by adventure and nature, I love road trips. When I am not working, I spend my days searching for inspiration, making new friends and exploring my inner-self. Working with me will be a fun experience from beginning to end.

Started in Houston, Tx as a volunteer photographer with a ministry outreach group for 3 years. Later, I founded my photography business in 2020. I am now based in Denver, Colorado since 2021.
I like to talk to my clients during our session together. This helps the client to be comfortable and helps me to get to know my client better. Whenever I get home and I'm reviewing images, I can see the personality of the client in each one. I recall small memories based on different shots that make me smile all over again. If I can relive that happy moment when looking at those beautiful images, my client will feel the same. That is my experience.

How did you get started in this business?
I had writer's block for what seemed like forever. I can not draw or paint well, so I began capturing what resembled my feelings and thoughts. In 2017, I joined a ministry that had an outstanding media team. I volunteered as a photographer for 3 years apart of their outreach media team where I learned majority of my knowledge and skill.
What types of customers have you worked with?
Families, graduating seniors, toddlers, couples and pets.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
I photographed a maternity session for a college-sweetheart couple on their first baby. The best part about this session was their chemistry being so adorable! We laughed and giggled the whole time! My fiancé was there with me which made it all the more fun. There were moments where he fixed her hair, whispered in her ear and made her giggle, she told jokes not meaning to be funny but she was and her smile almost never left her face. Their vibe was amazing and it flowed together with my boyfriend's and I.
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a pro in your area of expertise?
You don't need to be a professional model to hire a professional photographer. Review their portfolio to be sure their style matches your vision or to get an idea of what type of session you may want.
What questions should customers think through before talking to pros about their needs?
What is my budget?
Will I need prints, digitals, or both?
How many outfits do I want to show off?
Does their gallery match my vibe/aesthetic/idea?
