Sorry this pro can’t do your job, but we know other pros who can.
Introduction: Choosing the perfect photographer for your special moments or projects can be so overwhelming! This industry is so saturated, diverse, overwhelming, and ever-changing! To decide if I am the right choice for you I have provided some personal information as well as a brief background on my experience! I want to make sure I am the right fit for YOU! Building a trusting, professional, fun, and comfortable relationship with your photographer is the BEST way to get the BEST photos! This allows open communication about what you need and helps the shoot flow smoothly. To understand my experience you first need the origin story! I was professionally introduced to this industry at age 11 when I was signed with a modeling agency. I modeled professionally all throughout high school. While modeling a wise photographer suggested I pick up a camera to practice at home learning my angles, poses, finding my light, and understanding what the photographer sees at any given time in a shoot. So at age 15, I received my first DSLR camera and the passion exponentially grew from that moment on! I immediately enrolled in every photography class offered at my high school. I completed every Photography class, including film, which I also love. I even continued my education in college, and was certified in photography at the University of Utah! Today, I have 6 years of experience 3 of which I have been shooting professionally. I also have 10 years of modeling experience which I leverage into your shoot to best coach you in posing throughout our session!

Ava’s talent and ability to capture the art of authentic emotions is truly a gift! My husband and I wanted a re-do of our wedding photos, we wanted to capture a genuine/artsy look, and we were thrilled with the results! If you’re out in Utah, Ava is a MUST! She was thorough, ensured we were happy with the results, guided us on how to pose, would help correct when my outfit/hair was out of place (greatly appreciated, gotta love that attention to detail) and made us comfortable instantly so it was a fun experience. Ava’s responsiveness in comms also shined in how quickly we received the pics and we cannot wait for our next trip to Utah so we can have the chance to work with her again!

Details: Couples portrait • Artistic (focus on composition, lighting) • Natural / environmental (photographed in an outdoor setting) • Candid (captured in the moment) • Outdoors • Digital or online download • My home, venue, etc.

Ava made everything super easy to set up. I usually struggle with taking pictures but she made it a super easy and enjoyable experience and the pictures turned out amazing. Would highly recommend.

Ava did my graduation photos. I didn’t know her, but she came suggested to me by others in my community. The completed photos were beautiful and made me, someone who does not know how to pose for photos, feel beautiful. She was able to cue me on where to look and my body positioning, and was able to find beautiful backdrops in the location I selected. Thank you Ava! Don’t even hesitate to utilize her as your photographer ❤️

She’s unlike any other photographer I know! Being someone who has constant work with photography, she blows me away every time! She always shoots for and produces high quality photos, but not only that! She will go one step farther and constantly give you pointers on what poses you should do! Being someone who always feels awkward during shoots, she definitely made me look a whole lot better! I don’t recommend any other photographer! Thanks Ava!!
