ABOUT ME

My passion for photography established the moment I held a camera in my hands, Creating pictures gave me the power to speak a new language and capture beauty in a fleeting moment. 

​

Since 2008, I have valued the quality of a photo and the importance of capturing special moments. Seeing the joy my art and photography brings my clientele is the driving force in my career and what fulfills me.​

 

Over the years, photography has drawn me to perfecting my skills as an artist, including learning film techniques. I am proudly in the process of pursuing my Bachelor of Fine Arts in Photography at Utah Valley University. 

​​​​​

When I am not taking photos, I am spending time with my beautiful family and pets. My second passion is animals. I am a Certified Dog Trainer through Animal Behavior College and love working with pets/animals. I am an avid outdoors-woman who loves adventures, mountains, and gardening. I am a proud member of ThunderPaws Flyball team where I compete with my three dogs.
