MY

Story

FAST FORWARD

THE YEAR THAT I GOT MY FIRST CAMERA WAS MOMENTOUS FOR ME. I REMEMBER IT LIKE IT WAS YESTERDAY! MY GRANDPA ALWAYS SUPPORTED MY DREAMS AND HE BOUGHT ME MY FIRST DSLR CAMERA FOR MY BIRTHDAY.

THIS WAS THE CAMERA I WOULD SHOOT MY FIRST WEDDING ON, AND WHAT I WOULD TAKE WITH ME TO SHOOT MY FRIENDS SENIOR PORTRAITS in high school. SO MUCH TIME HAS PASSED SINCE THIS EARLY YEARS, BUT THE PASSION STILL HAS NOT LEFT!

2011 - Picked up the camera

I SHOT MY VERY FIRST WEDDING EVER FOR A FAMILY FRIEND, I WASN'T THE MAIN SHOOTER, BUT I REMEMBER THIS DAY VIVIDLY. I RECALL MY DAD DID THE WORM ON THE DANCE FLOOR AND I SHOT MY FIRST EVER SPARKLER EXIT! 

I cannot believe just how far I've come and how much I have grown since this day! God is so good, and he knew exactly what he was doing when this opportunity presented itself. 

2014 - Shot my first wedding

AFTER MY THEN BOYFRIEND, NOW-HUBBY CONVINCED ME I HAD WHAT IT TOOK TO BE A FULL TIME PHOTOG, I LEAPED HEAD FIRST INTO WEDDING WORK! I SHOT MY FIRST OFFICIAL WEDDING FOR A FRIEND. IN ALL HONESTY, I BEGGED HER TO NOT PAY ME, BUTTT SHE WAS PERSISTENT AND ENDED UP LOVING HER FINAL GALLERY. 

I PROVED TO MYSELF THAT DAY THAT I COULD DO HARD THINGS AND THAT EVEN IF SOMETHING SCARED ME, IT WAS WORTH TRYING MY BEST AND TRUSTING THE PROCESS!

THAT IS A PHILOSOPHY I TAKE WITH ME ON EVERY SINGLE SESSION I'VE HAD SINCE.


2018 - Launched full time

into photography

On April 17th, 2021, I married my best friend!

My hubby and I did long distance before we got married, and it was so hard not being close to him for weeks on end. By 2021, we had been dating for 3 years and I knew I was ready to tie the knot! 

February we decided we were going to make a wedding happen, and by God, we did it! 45 days of planning, and we managed to plan an entire wedding with all of our closest friends and family. IT was my dream wedding and I was so in love with how the day came to pass. 

I am so blessed to have found vendors that I trusted, and who would become life long friends! 

2021 - I married my 

favorite person!

Let's chat!

I am hoping that we have the opportunity to finally meet and get to know one another. Just know, that when you book me to shoot your wedding, you are not just hiring someone to perform a service. You are hiring your newest confidant, friend, day of problem solver! I am also going to be your favorite third wheel as I shoot all these intimate moments you will cherish forever!

You only get one wedding, and booking me will ensure all your large, small, and in between wedding memories are carefully collected and preserved.

The next steps? Securing your date and celebrating your love story!

Today - I'm so excited 

to celebrate w/ you!

Meet 'Potato' Chavez!

TATE IS OUR GOODEST GIRL. A 4 YEAR OLD HUSKY, COLLIE, LAB, AUSSIE MIX WHO HAS ENERGY FOR MILES. I ADOPTED HER A FEW SHORT MONTHS AFTER GOING FULL TIME AS A WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER AND SHE HAS BEEN THERE THROUGH THE HIGHS AND LOWS.

I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE FUNNY TO NAME HER POTATO BECAUSE OF HOW CUTE SHE WAs AS A PUPPY, BUT SHE GOES BY TATE FOR SHORT WITH ALL HER CLOSETS BUDDIES!

let's chat

Friend...

I want to create something

beautiful together

you've invested time in your love story, and now it's time to invest money into documenting your memories. Friend - I want so much more than to photograph your love - I want to learn how you met, how he popped the question, your wedding vision, and the list goes on and on!

RATHER THAN JUST SOME AWKWARD, STAGED, "OK NOW SAY CHEESE" STYLE PHOTOS, YOU will be INVITING ME INTO YOUR RELATIONSHIP as a fly on the wall to capture your most authentic selves. I want to get to the root of what makes you two unique, digging deeper to create together and to capture who you both truely are.

Still not convinced?
Do you still have questions?

The Experience

Meant to be

You & Me

You will be spending more time with your photographer than anyone else (maybe even your fiancé!) on your wedding day. 

That may seem a little overwhelming, but it's SO true! And that’s why you need a photography team  who will be your biggest advocate, supporter, and who believes in your vision and helps you bring it to life!

LET'S Work

Together -

IF I HAD TO CHOOSE, I’D HAVE TO SAY MY FAVORITE PART ABOUT THIS BUSINESS IS THE IN-BETWEEN MOMENT SHOTS. WHENEVER MY SHUTTER CLICKS, A MEMORY IS CREATED. WHETHER WE REMEMBER THAT MOMENT HAPPENING IN REAL TIME OR NOT, THE CAMERA DOES.

THESE ARE THE IN-BETWEEN MOMENTS. THE MOMENTS YOU WILL TEAR UP AND LAUGH ABOUT FOR GENERATIONS TO COME. AND IT ALL STARTS WITH THAT SINGLE SOUND OF A SHUTTER. THESE MOMENTS ARE WHAT MAKE MY JOB SO AMAZING, WHAT MAKE MY JOB SO VALUABLE.

TO THIS DAY STILL CAN’T BELIEVE MT JOB IS TO MAKE MEMORIES TANGIBLE!
