Meet Your Photographer
I was born and raised on the ridge of Paradise and Magalia, California. Two small mountain towns that shaped me, tested me, and taught me what resilience truly means. When the Camp Fire in 2018 ripped apart our community, I lost almost everything I had, but in rebuilding, I found a new kind of strength - the kind that comes from starting over and still choosing to see beauty in the struggle.
❤️ Family Is My Why
These days, I call Stirling City home, where I’m raising my kiddos and loving my soon to be husband.
Family is the reason I wake up, the reason I work, and the reason I fight through every hard season. I’ll be honest, motherhood and business haven’t always been an easy mix. During postpartum, I almost lost myself and my photography completely. But rebuilding Wild At Hart became my way back. It reminded me that even in chaos, there’s beauty; even in exhaustion, there’s love worth capturing. Serving my community with the art we create together is a calling that I can never give up on.
📸 What Wild At Hart Imagery Stands For
Wild At Hart Imagery isn’t a brand built on perfection - it’s built on survival, compassion, and connection. It’s a space for real people, real families, real emotions, and real stories. It is here for the ones doing their best, showing up tired but full of love, laughing through the mess, and loving fiercely through it all.
Every session I shoot comes from that place of love, chaos, and fierce protection — the same energy it takes to rebuild a life, to raise a family, to keep going when things get hard. I don’t just take pictures - I hold space for people to be seen as they truly are.
Because when you’ve walked through the fire and come out stronger, you start to notice the small, sacred things that make life extraordinary.
So if you’re looking for a photographer who knows that strength and softness can exist together, who believes that imperfection is what makes love and memories real - I’m your girl. Because I’ve lived it. And I’ll show you just how beautiful that truth really is.
