about
get to know what i love the most
step behind the lens and into my world—where my love for photography, adventure, and meaningful connections come together. From capturing once-in-a-lifetime moments to exploring the outdoors, traveling with my daughter, and cherishing time with family, here’s a glimpse into the life and passions that shape everything I do.
Exploring the Outdoors
There’s nothing like the fresh mountain air and the feeling of adventure. Whether I’m hiking in the Colorado mountains, backpacking under the stars, or camping with family, being in nature grounds me, recharges my creativity, and reminds me to slow down and appreciate the beauty around me.
No matter where I go, family is home. Whether we’re gathered around a campfire, exploring the outdoors, or simply enjoying good conversation, these moments are what matter most. Time spent with the people I love reminds me why I do what I do—capturing stories, emotions, and the connections that last forever.
Cherishing Family Time
Sharing new experiences with my daughter is one of my greatest joys. We love exploring new places, embracing different cultures, and creating unforgettable memories together. Whether it’s a weekend getaway or a trip back to San Diego or Kansas City to visit family, travel always keeps life exciting.
Traveling with My Daughter
Why i photograph weddings
my mission
Because they hold everything.
The bittersweet ache of time passing.
The rush of joy.
The miracle of gathering everyone you love in one place, for one brief, beautiful day..
All your people. All together.
I photograph weddings not for the tradition but for the story. The laughter suddenly breaking through tears. The elegance that turns to revelry by midnight. The tiny, unspoken moments that say, this is who we are. Documenting your legacy is my own legacy. My own way of saying I am here. This is who I am.
our
values
continue reading about our values
We curate each gallery and film scan with reverence, transforming your story into a tangible archive of meaning. Heirloom albums, fine-art prints, and timeless tones preserve not just the way your day looked, but how it lived.
legacy
Every story begins with listening. We seek the heart within the art: your grandmother’s hands fixing a boutonnière, the roar of laughter as the night unfolds, the quiet between songs.
connection
On the day itself, we move with calm direction and gentle curiosity, guiding when needed, vanishing when not. You’ll never feel staged or hurried; you’ll simply be, surrounded by the people who make you feel most at home.

We loved Barbara as our photographer. Not only was she incredibly easy to work with, almost as a friend, but also made the night so much fun. We got the chance to “make a pizza” and also play with our bridal party. As we got the preview... she blew us away with the clarity, framing, and even the black and white. Thank you!!
