Inquire for your wedding

Capturing weddings the way they feel—honest, emotional, and timeless—so that when you look back, you don’t just see the moments, you remember living them.

With over 18 years of experience, I’ve learned that a wedding is more than just a series of events—it’s a feeling, a story in motion, a moment between what was and what will be. That’s why I focus on capturing the energy, the intimacy, and the connections that make your wedding uniquely yours. My goal isn’t just to document what happened, but to create images that transport you back—to the rush of excitement, the tear-filled vows, the laughter echoing through the reception—so that every time you look at your photos, you don’t just remember your wedding day, you feel it all over again."

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

creating the connection between story and memory.

From the grand gestures to the quiet in-between moments, our mission is to preserve the contrast between story and memory, what was and what will be, so that every couple can relive their wedding day—not just as they saw it, but as they truly felt it. We do this by trust, respect, and storytelling, blending fine art and authenticity to create images that feel as real and meaningful as the moments themselves.

Alyssa & Ben

Barbara was amazing and she made taking photographs so joyful and fun that I was actually able to stay present during my wedding. At our wedding, we had our dog and she was able to get the best photographs we have ever gotten of him. And we love that because Barbara asked all the right questions and knew that our dog was something very important to us. Thank you, Barbara for capturing all of our beautiful moments.
