Hi, I’m Ava — born and raised right here in New Mexico. This land isn’t just where I work… it’s home. I grew up under these big desert skies, chasing sunsets, surrounded by Southwest culture, wide-open spaces, and the kind of landscapes that make you pause for a second longer.
I’ve been riding horses since I was five years old, and so much of the way I see the world comes from that upbringing. Horses teach you patience, awareness, and how to read subtle emotion — and I bring that same sensitivity into the way I photograph weddings. I notice the small glances. The nervous smiles. The deep breaths before you walk down the aisle.
Being rooted here means I don’t just know the pretty locations — I understand the light, the seasons, the colors, and the feeling of a New Mexico sunset. That golden glow you see in my images? It’s something I’ve grown up loving my whole life.
My approach is gentle and natural. I’ll guide you when you need it, step back when you don’t, and make sure you feel completely comfortable being yourselves. Your photos should feel warm, honest, and timeless — like memories you can step back into.
If you love meaningful moments, natural beauty, and photos that feel like you — I think we’ll get along just fine.
It would truly be an honor to tell your story.

We are beyond grateful to have had Ava capture our wedding day! From the moment we met, she made us feel comfortable and completely at ease, which shows in every photo. Her eye for...
detail, timing, and emotion is truly unmatched.
Our wedding photos are everything we hoped for and more, beautifully candid, artistic, and full of life. Ava didn’t just take pictures; she told the story of our day in a way that felt authentic and timeless.
She was also incredibly professional, organized, and responsive throughout the entire process, and blended into the day so naturally that we hardly noticed we were being photographed. We’ve received so many compliments on our photos, and we’ll cherish them forever.
If you’re looking for someone who truly gets the emotion and beauty of a wedding day, look no further than Ava. Highly, highly recommend!
