I’m so glad you’re here. It means you value wedding photography that feels wild, real, and deeply *you*.
Whether you're eloping in the Utah desert, saying vows on a California beach, or planning something in between, my goal is to make your day feel as free-spirited and unforgettable as your love.
At Desert Born Studios, I bring 12 years of experience capturing raw, emotional stories in epic places—Joshua Tree, the Grand Canyon, the Oregon coast, and beyond. Every couple is different, so I take the time to understand your vibe, your bond, and what matters most to you.
The result? Honest, intentional images that feel natural and full of heart—no stiff poses, no fake moments. Just your story, beautifully told.
