"we are who we are for many reasons and maybe we'll never know them, but even if we don't have the power to choose where we come from, we can still choose where we go from there" I love photography and the way i can allow myself to be as creative as i want and why not do something that i wake up excited to do cause life isnt perfect things make you upset sad and happy but in pictures you can feel any emotion you want, I make up stories and fairytales in my head and i hope my pictures can help others create there own and look back and remember there memories and how moments felt.

em-brace- to cherish, to hold on to.

D & M

This is Davina and Mike.
They were so funny! It was like i was not even there
they just laughed and it was so incredibly natural, they were telling me how they
met, what they do for fun, just everything it was like we werent
doing a photo shoot we were just hanging out. I
want people who i take pictures of to feel comfortable and if they do feel comfortable
when i ask them to do a serious face it's like ah ya i can do that. It was just a blast and
i wish them the best of luck.

temple

The temple is such a special place. I had the
chance to shoot a wedding here today and i couldn't help but
take a few shots of this beautiful building. Right when you step on
to those temple grounds it's just.. peaceful is the way i would describe it.
I'll go there.. one day:)

Farewell to Fontane

This is Travis Carter.
He is an amazing singer and guitar player.
Probably the best i have heard, he can
hear a song and then ten minutes later know the whole
thing and play it on his own.
He has a new band called Farewell to Fontane and if you havent heard of them 
look it up cause it's amazing. He's so talented
and actually very photogenic:) We had
a good night shooting, almost lost our sunset so what felt
like a marathon we RAN up a mountain to get some shots..
he was such a good sport so thank you trav and good luck

H & C.. In love

Meet Hailey and Chase.
I have known both of these gorgeous people for
most my life. I grew up with chase and
hailey has been one of my best friends ever since i moved.
I couldn't be happier for them and the fact that
they make each other so happy and
want to spend there lives together. I love them
both and wish them the best. It was hard to
pick which ones to display so here are some of my
favorties

LOVE: a wildly misunderstood although highly desirable malfunction of the heart which weakens the brain, causes eyes to sparkle, & cheeks to glow.











Oh BEYOND love the almost kissing moments.

4th of JuLy!!


This week as we know was the 4th of July..
I was lucky enough to have a booth of my photography. I had a little photo
booth for anyone who wanted a picture, everyone was
adorable and it was such a fun day! If you want your
picture just right click, copy and save it to your computer.. take it
anywhere you want and print it..
Thanks to everyone who came by and looked at my photos.
Photography is truely a passion of mine it's a way of feeling, touching, of loving.
What someone captures is forever.. it remembers little things long after
we all have forgotten everything. To me, photography is an art of observation. It's about
finding something interesting in an ordinary place. It has little to do with the things
you see and everything to do with the way you see them.
Enjoy


































Everyone was adorable so much fun!!!
