ABOUT ME

My passion for photography established the moment I held a camera in my hands, Making pictures gave me the power to convey emotions through a whole new medium and allowed me to capture true rawness in a fleeting moment.

​

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

 

Photography has drawn me to perfecting my voice as an artist, I am proudly in the process of pursuing my Bachelor of Fine Arts in Photography at Utah Valley University. During this pursuit of higher education, I was introduced to film and historical photo processes. 

​​​​​​

My second passion is animal behavior. I am a Certified Dog Trainer and graduated from Animal Behavior College. I love photographing pets and wildlife. I am an avid outdoors-woman who loves adventures, mountains, and gardening.
