These are a few words that have been used to describe me.


I have been a photographer since I can remember. I started by taking pictures of my parents, siblings, friends, and pets. Later, I took pictures of landscapes, my boyfriend's band, and wild college nights. More recently, I have millions of photos of my kids, your kids, other countries, powerful women, talented musicians, aspiring actors, weddings, and more. One thing has remained consistent throughout my journey, I have always been most drawn to capturing the essence of the souls in front of my camera.


I am here to give you outstanding headshots, soul shots and love shots.


I love music (specifically Ben Harper, Feist, Janis Joplin, Credence Clearwater Revival, Otis Redding, Shakey Graves, Alabama Shakes, Awolnation, Dave Matthews Band, Jack Johnson, Prince...and so many more). I am spiritually moved by love, travel, the mountains, the ocean, good food, great movies, epic photography and music festivals. But more than that, I am inspired by all things that make me feel alive and PRESENT. I have the words "BE HERE NOW' tattooed on my wrist;)


Photography allows me to create art, capture emotions, and provide a timeless connection to the person in the images. Photographs are the closest thing to time traveling I've encountered. The way you can hear a person's laugh, smell their perfume, or feel their hug just by looking at a photo is MAGIC. It's the magic I long to be a part of. I believe photography can be a way to keep your most cherished relationships close to your heart and accessible even after time, distance, and space become a physical separation from the ones you love.


What are the words used to describe you?

Let's capture that and tell your story...

A few more random facts since you scrolled to this point:


  • Guns -N- Roses, Shakey Graves, and Dave Matthews are my top 3 concerts so far.
  • I had 3 homebirths.
  • I'm half an inch under 5 foot tall, and I wouldn't change a thing.
  • I've had a pixie haircut the past 10 years despite trying to grow it out every 3 years. I've accepted I'm in a "pixie phase of life."
  • I own Black Bear Coffee Shop (in Cloudcroft, NM) with my best friend and lover. We talked about opening a coffee shop on our first date...at a coffee shop. It only took us 17 years from that coffee shop date to make our dream come true.
  • It took me FOREVER to finish college. I changed my major a few times and had to repeat classes when I transferred (twice). I ultimately graduated Summa Cum Laude in the degree I chose first...Psychology...go figure.
  • I don't watch a lot of tv but I can binge watch the Bachelorette, So You Think You Can Dance, and Madmen.
  • I recently got into backpacking. I'M OBSESSED. And now I need to do more photo sessions to support my new found ultra-lightweight camping items habit.
  • If I could just photograph faces with black and white film forever, I would be 100% okay with that.
