Nothing sets my soul on fire quite like my photography. I'm not about that typical 9-5 life—I'm all about breaking boundaries and creating a life filled with peace and happiness, just like my aunt had. I want to set an example for my kids, to show them that dreams can become a reality with determination and a vision. Fun fact: I actually graduated from Grand Canyon University with a Bachelor's in Healthcare Administration (#thunder)! I know, crazy right?! I’ve always loved healthcare and helping others, and I absolutely loved learning. But as much as I enjoy that side, I also thrive on creativity and adventure.

When I was little, my grandpa would take me and my siblings to Pueblo or Eagle-Vail, Colorado, every summer for camping or snowboarding at Breckenridge if the weather was just right. My mom, aunts, cousins, and grandma made it a tradition to head up to Estes Park every Memorial Day or visit Tiny Town in Morrison. Those trips are where my love for hiking, camping, and adventure all began. I used to dream of traveling to beautiful places for a living, and now I’m so grateful I get to experience it all through photography.

Spreading happiness, whether through my photography or sharing a cheesy joke (even if it’s so bad it’s good!), is my mission. With my photos, I’m determined to make the world a little brighter—one story and one smile at a time.

these kiddos are my "why"
