Wild and Precious Life Photography

My life and work are greatly inspired by the writing of Mary Oliver. She writes, “Instructions for living a life. Pay attention. Be astonished. Tell about it.” That is what motivates my photography. I pay attention and find those magic moments in life-not just in special events, but the day to day too. I love to capture them through my lens and share them with the world. Working with me will bring you the perfect shots you were hoping for but also the magic moments you did not expect.

I am very experienced working with people with disabilities, neurodivergent, etc. Do not think that you can’t have amazing photos of your family because the photographer may not be understanding of your special needs. Nothing phases me! I am neurodivergent and so is my entire family.

Schedule permitting-sessions are assisted by River Luna, my daughter who can help with bags, wrangling children and animals and knowing the best poses and what teens are looking for in a session. She is an amazing part of my team! Extra hands and eyes make for excellent final images.
