I’m an intimate wedding photographer in Moab, UT and Jackson, WY.
I’ve been shooting since 2017, when I got my first camera to capture my hike from Canada to Mexico on the Continental Divide Trail.
In 2018, I set out with a compass and a stack of maps to hike the Hayduke, 800 miles from Arches to Zion. This route showed me places around Moab and southern Utah I never would have thought to explore, and I try to imbue my work with this sense of exploration and wonder.
I worked as a hiking and archaeology guide in Moab and in the national parks.
Now, I move between Utah and Wyoming, where my partner guides on the Snake River in Grand Teton National Park.
I also work as a copywriter for evo, take photos for Patagonia, and write hiking, travel, and gear guides.
I grew up in Chicago, IL and Columbus, OH; when I go back east now, I visit family in Louisville, KY and Miami, FL.

It’s so important to connect with your photographer and I don’t think that’s necessarily an easy thing to sus out in quick video chat when my Starlink is going in and out. Before you reach out, here are a few things about me that I think relate to the way I work and live.
I hiked the Appalachian Trail, Continental Divide Trail, Arizona Trail, Hayduke “Trail,” and connected all of the high routes in the Sierra Nevada mountains. That equates to about 7,000 miles. Afterwards, I worked as a hiking and archaeology guide in Moab and this past spring I skied in the Himalayas, so it’s safe to say that I love adventurous elopements and being on my feet.
My family is from Costa Rica and Cuba and I was raised in Chicago and Ohio, so I recognize that skill and comfort outdoors is not something that everyone has. I certainly did not, and that’s why I started with simply walking. I want all of my clients to be comfortable outside, and if that means sticking near a trailhead or not climbing up that arch, that is 100% okay.
When you spend a lot of time living an atypical lifestyle and working in the service industry, you end up with a lot of LGBQT+ friends. I care about everyone’s equal opportunity to share their love.
I love reading in my free time, especially about the West - Pam Houston, John Mcphee, Gretel Erlich, Annie Proulx, Terry Tempest Williams. I’m obsessed with the way they convey the West and I try to bring that mythos into my own writing and photography.
I love birds - you can definitely count on me to point out mergansers + bald eagles (or golden eagles if we’re very lucky).
