Well, Hey there!
WHO WE ARE
I am an adventurous couples, portrait, and lifestyle photographer, passionate about creating killer imagery for your one of a kind experiences.
When I am not out doing adventurous photoshoots, you can find me chasing wild bears away from kids (literally), training marine mammals (formerly: California Sea Lions & Common Bottlenose Dolphins), chillin’ with my beloved husband Greg who is a Staff Sergeant in the Air Force, hanging out with Jesus, hiking 14,000+ foot mountains, practicing underwater breath holds at the pool (#mermaid), getting attacked by a plethora of wild animals (mostly monkeys… why is it always monkeys?) and jumping off 40+ foot cliffs into freezing cold lakes.
I have backpacked alone in Southeast Asia for six consecutive months, swam with wild Stellar Sea Lions (who average a whopping 1,250 lbs), and had a close encounter with a wild 27-foot long whale shark. To say I love adventure would be a huge understatement. It is one of my biggest core values.
WHAT WE DO
We photograph dauntless adventure seekers, wild about exploring the Great Outdoors, traveling to epic destinations, climbing mountains, traversing waterfalls, sharing stories, and jumping into freezing cold water to get that killer shot.
Whether it’s on peaks of mountains, inside beautiful Cathedrals & Churches, on black sand beaches in Iceland, or at a humble cabin near the PNW coastline, I am ready to take you on the adventure of a lifetime.

The people we love.
1 Corinthians 13:4-8
4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
8 Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away.

MEET GREG
My beloved husband since 06.08.17 <3
MEET GREG
This man is one of a kind. Everybody who meets him is quick to let me know how lucky I am. Believe me, I know what a true blessing he is. Greg proudly serves our country in the Air Force, has the faith of a lion, yet the heart of a lamb, and has the best child-like sense of humor that can put a smile on my face no matter how hungry I am. Most of all, he is an incredible husband who is quick to forgive and love unconditionally.
HOW WE MET
Guys, I met Greg on a cruise ship. You read that right. On June 8 of 2014, we locked eyes at the piano bar on the Carnival Liberty. The place where no woman expects to meet a humble, Christ-like man. Well, it happened. And, it seems to run in the family because my grandmother met my grandfather on an Alaskan cruise. Here's to new family traditions (lol?).
OUR STORY
After six short days of getting to know each other on the Carnival Liberty, Greg asked for my phone number. I was pleasantly surprised, because although we were both from Colorado, I candidly let him know that I would soon be backpacking in South East Asia for an indefinite period of time. Greg was a man of conviction, and long distance was no match for him. We continued to talk daily for six months, and he stood by me during the good and bad experiences of travel. While we did not make things official until I returned to Colorado, we did not pursue relationships with anybody else during that time. Our coursthip journey lasted two years prior to engagement, and invovled a deployment, ten months of travel, over a year of long-distance, and a whole lot of love. We got engaged in May of 2016, and were married on the third anniversary from the day we met.
DON’T FORGET DUDLEY!
Dudley is our sweet baby-meerkat-rat-dog-chihuahua-best-friend and love of my life! God truly blessed me with this animal nine years ago when my parents surprised me with him on Christmas day. He was so small he could easily fit into my palm and one stair step was the equivalent of Mt. Everest for him. He is named after the friendly fox, Dudley, from an old Casper movie. And if you super duper love Dudley, you'll go follow his ista:
