Since 2016, wedding photography has been a blend of my passions for travel, storytelling, connection, and love.

Before going full-time, I worked as a yoga teacher and corporate recruiter. A pivotal yoga retreat in Mexico led me to work with a photographer in San Diego, turning the hobby I loved into a craft and career.

Eventually, I returned to Mexico, where I started my business and lived for 5 years photographing weddings, couples and families from all over the world. In 2020 I found my way to Colorado and the mountain west. These days you can find me hiking, skiing, practicing yoga, taking my dog for a walk around Wash Park and enjoying this beautiful state that I call home with my partner and friends.

OWNER | LEAD PHOTOGRAPHER

For eight years I’ve been photographing life’s most memorable and exciting moments. I’ve pulled from my own life experiences, education and my family to find a perspective to call my own.

My background in Fine Art photography lead me to weddings, and from there, I have evolved through the years to incorporate different styles and mediums into my work.

Today, being a mother and having my family influences my perspective most of all. To preserve moments for generations to come is something very close to my heart. Being part of the JL team allows me to do what I love across the US and collaborate with a kindred soul in Jess while we do it!
