You deserve to be seen as you are—fully, honestly, and beautifully.

Beauty lives in the
in between moments.

Your wedding day will move fast, an electric blur of love, laughter, magic, and madness. My job is to slow it down and see beneath the surface. To hold space for presence and intimacy. To capture not just how it looked, but how it felt — to strip back the layers so you can see the raw beauty of your love story.

 It’s about seeing beyond the wedding itself and into the future, capturing the memories that will one day mean more to you and the ones you love than you can realize.

I create something you’ll step into years from now, a portal back to the way you

always dreaming of Hawaii

I’m an OG Denver Bronco baby. I love escaping to my family cabin in the Rocky Mountains, but my heart lies in Kona, Hawaii. I can’t wait to adventure there again.

I have a BFA in Photography from UCR and have photographed over 2,500 clients, including over 500 weddings. My energy and enthusiasm for this path is neverending. I thrive on the human connection, adventure and new experiences it brings to my life.

The thing that drives everything I do is my daughter, Rozy. She is my biggest inspiration, and keeps me focused on living a peaceful, grounded and authentic life where healing and adventure go hand-in-hand.

It’s also why I’m a passionate glass artist. Working with glass is an alchemy of light, color, and transformation.

to reveal what’s hidden in plain sight—the textures, emotions, and fleeting beauty that make a moment unforgettable.


I see photography as an act of presence—a way of holding onto the wild, beautiful truth of who you are.

I’ve always been drawn to life’s raw, unfiltered beauty.

An artist’s eye.
A storyteller’s soul.

Photography isn’t so different. It’s about shifting perspective and seeing beyond the obvious. It’s about capturing the essence of a moment and preserving it so it can be felt forever. My camera is a vessel of devotion. It captures not just what is seen, but what is felt—the kinetic energy, the quiet truth, the serendipity of being fully present.



You take something raw and shape it into something luminous, something lasting.

The  Zoom Theory 

experience

Freedom in every frame

The best moments are the untethered ones. When you feel free to be your most authentic self, that’s when magic happens. My work is about capturing that freedom so you can be wholly yourself.

Rooted in legacy and light

Light is everything. It transforms, it reveals, it tells a story without words. Whether I’m photographing a wedding, a family, or an event, I harness the power of light to shape a legacy.

Transcendent storytelling

Memories are slippery things. A photograph holds them in place, turning fleeting seconds into something that lives beyond time. When nostalgia comes calling, a photo allows you to step back into the memory, whether it’s on your walls, in your hands, or on your screen.

Not only are our pictures absolutely perfect, but her energy was so fun to be around and made being in front of the camera feel so natural. She helped pull off such an amazing surprise and made our day that much better. 10/10 recommend for any photos you need!

From the start Meredith was so accommodating and helpful in getting us the best wedding photography package. She brings such a great attitude and genuinely enjoys her work. She was great with our family and the pictures are breathtaking. We can’t thank her enough for documenting our wedding and forever enshrining these memories.
