About
I’ve been a professional photographer for over five years, but my journey with pictures started long before that. Growing up at my grandmothers house I was constantly inspired by her photo albums. I developed a deep appreciation for the power of a single image to hold emotion, story, and memory.
I specialize in connection-driven, lifestyle photography that captures people as they truly are. With an emphasis on real moments mixed with intentional posing. I take a guided, natural approach; creating space for genuine interaction while documenting the emotion, movement, and in-between moments that tell the whole story. The result is imagery that feels deeply reflective of you.

Mi Abuela
My grandmother has always been one of my greatest sources of encouragement, inspiring me to pursue the things that interested me and explore my creativity. She recognized my curiosity with photography right away, humoring me every time I wanted to look through the same photo albums over and over again and watching as I dressed up my childhood friends to take their pictures.
It only felt right to put a face to the name. This is Sally, my abuela and the woman who helped shape me into who I am today. She is 92 years old in this photograph, wearing her 60-year-old wedding dress in the summer of 2026.
Mission
The Captured Co. is rooted in telling each family’s unique story. Personally, growing up in a loud & crazy family I’m naturally drawn to the in-between moments. The quiet, the playful, the real. I capture it all. Intentionally making my sessions fun and relaxed. Being conscious to shape an environment where you, and your loved ones, can simply be yourselves while I document what’s already there. With me you will feel comfortable to be you.
Vision
My vision is simple, no matter the session, you deserve a seamless experience paired with intentional artistry. I truly thrive on the attention to detail which helps with creating mementos that feel warm, genuine, and authentic. From the first conversation to the final gallery, I strive to craft an all encompassing experience that feels comfortable but refined. It's what I do best.
