It's not about forcing you to look or act a certain way to get "the shot." It's about taking you as you are and reflecting your unique beauty back in a photograph.
This is what a timeless photograph means to me.
And I’d consider myself lucky if I get to take a timeless photo of you.
Meet people as they are, right at this moment.
I TAKE PHOTOS TO
This led to me going on hikes, not for exercise but to experience the grandness of nature. I loved taking photos of small people in grand landscapes.
Soon, I gained the confidence to post my adventures on Instagram.
I've always loved taking photos. My friends and I would dress up in nice clothes and go on photo walks in forests and parks.
I should’ve known my love for taking photos would do the same (but better).
help people by going to med school.
I thought I could best
2024 - My photography skills definitely grew with this family!
Their wedding (love the forest theme!)
Their engagement photo in 2017
I honestly didn't know what I was doing but I guess they loved the photos because I photographed both of the bride's sisters' weddings!
In 2017, after shooting for my friend’s engagement, they asked me to take photos for their wedding…and family photos (to this day!).
My first wedding client? My cousin. (She paid me $100.) Looking back, I cringe at the photos but I’m so grateful she trusted me with them! After this, I felt inspired to take my art further.
People began to ask if I could take wedding photos.
And then the unexpected happened:
Me & my husband/co-explorer, AJ
Within three years, I created a website and made it official!
Since then, life has looked a little different—I got married (!!!!), among other things—but my love of capturing life's moments stayed the same.
And I booked more weddings and engagements.
It snowballed—That family recommended me to people they knew
It just feels so right that I get to meet people (and new friends) through taking photos.
And I get to give all the glory back to Jesus whenever I get to photograph Catholic weddings and tell the story of how He worked in the couple's lives to bring them where they are today.
Now I understand why med school didn't happen.
Nothing warms my heart more than when individuals see/realize their beauty from the photos I've taken or feel a rush of emotions from looking at their galleries.
I hope that from our interactions, you see me as a friend and not just another vendor.
Wherever life takes you.
something you can take with you…..
in each session, I hope to present your core memories as
Documenting humans at all stages of life.

Gabriela and Marvin tied the knot in front of 200+ family and friends. They intentionally incorporated aspects of their church’s community celebrations – the moments of worship during the Mass, an exhortation by Gabriela’s brother, and more singing and clapping around the altar afterwards. It was so beautiful to see how Gabriela and Marvin’s first […]
