our story

hi, i’m vanessa

Photography preserves history. As a photographer, that's what I'm all about. I want to document your history. While I'm on the subject of history, here's some of mine.

Originally from Chicago, I spent four years in England before moving to New Mexico, taking my newly acquired British husband along for the ride. There's a big difference between the rainy British skies and the desert sunsets of New Mexico, but I love it all. I've happily settled here with my husband and beautiful baby boy to raise a family and study to become a Montessori teacher. When I'm not busy juggling my family, work, and school, I can be found needle felting and listening to true crime podcasts - or The Beatles. What can I say? I'm versatile! I also love getting to know our community. Speaking of community, that's where you might come in.

I absolutely love being a photographer and what I love most about it is that I get to learn about other people's stories. I get to help showcase what makes people special and unique and that goes far beyond looks. The camera captures what's on the inside. I love getting to know people through photography, whether it's how a couple met or how a baby was born. It's such an honor to be part of major life moments from weddings to anniversaries, promotions, birthdays, and more. After 15 years of stories, I'm not bored yet. Not even close! The tiny details from dimples to crooked smiles make every single photoshoot exciting and worthwhile.

My main goal as a photographer is to celebrate your authenticity. To celebrate you. I can't wait to do just that.
