Here is more about me personally
For years, I had the absolute joy of capturing beautiful moments for clients in Arizona—soaking in the golden desert light, wide-open skies, and colorful landscapes. From weddings to family portraits to adventure sessions, my goal has always been simple: help you feel comfortable, have fun, and let your true self shine.
Now that I’ve officially made the move to Knoxville, Tennessee, I’m so excited to bring that same energy and experience to a brand new place. East Tennessee has already stolen my heart with its mountains, forests, and dreamy fields—and I can’t wait to photograph love stories and life moments in this gorgeous setting.
Whether you're in Tennessee or still in Arizona (yes, I still travel!), you can expect the same laid-back, thoughtful approach focused on telling your story just the way it feels. Let’s make some magic together and capture memories you’ll love for years to come—wherever life takes you next.
My Educational Background
I’m committed to providing you with more than just beautiful photos—I aim to create a personalized experience that captures your story. My educational background plays a big part in making that happen. I hold two bachelor’s degrees—one in photography and one in strategic communications—and have completed my master’s degree in communication at Northern Arizona University. This blend of skills allows me to approach each session with a focus on both creativity and connection.
My degree in photography means I bring a deep understanding of how to capture images that are visually stunning, from using natural light to creating compelling compositions. This ensures you’ll receive high-quality images that are thoughtfully crafted.
My strategic communications background gives me the tools to understand your unique vision and communicate your story through imagery. I listen to what’s most important to you and translate that into photos that tell your story in an authentic and meaningful way.
With my master’s degree in communication, I’ve learned how to connect with people on a deeper level, ensuring that you feel comfortable and understood during our sessions. This means your photo session will feel relaxed and fun, allowing your true personality and emotions to shine through.
By combining technical expertise, creative storytelling, and strong communication, I strive to deliver an experience that goes beyond just taking photos. My goal is to create images that reflect who you are and capture moments you’ll cherish for a lifetime.
