CULTURE, COMMUNITY & COMIDA! // EXPLORING PERU & MACHU PICCHU WITH EF ULTIMATE BREAK // TRAV
This week, I got to check one incredible place off of my bucket list: Machu Picchu! I booked my trip to Peru with Ef Ultimate Break this January as an impromptu graduation gift to myself and my best friend decided to come too! I’ve never been to South America before and had no idea what to expect but it ended up being one of the most wonderful and eye-opening trips of my life! I met new friends, tried new foods and learned about an incredible culture that is so inspiring and

NEW ENGLAND ADVENTURE // EXPLORING NYC, BOSTON AND MORE!
Super excited to share a few photos from my work/trip back east this summer! This trip started because my best friend works in Connecticut all summer and I wanted an excuse to go visit her! So, I started by reaching out to a photographer friend of mine in Massachusetts to see if I could second shoot with her! I made plans to shoot with her on July 6 and then came upon another photographer looking for a second shooter the weekend before in Vermont! So, I extended the trip, add

LOS ANGELES, CA // MY FIRST TRIP TO DISNEY
Okay, so the title is a bit of a lie. It wasn't my very first trip to Disney, but I hadn't been since I was a little kid so it was a totally new experience nonetheless :) David, being much more of a Disney mind than me, showed me around Disneyland and California Adventure to all of his favorite spots and it was so so magical. I love all the joy and color everywhere, it was so much fun! After Disneyland, we also explored Huntington Beach and headed down to San Diego for an eng

NEW ORLEANS, LA // THE BIG EASY & THE CARIBBEAN
When I was a kid, I used to go on cruises with my family but before this December, it had been a long time since I'd been on one! For this holiday vacation, my parents, brother and boyfriend went on a cruise out of New Orleans to Cozumel, Costa Maya and Honduras! Aside from a quick drive through adventure this spring, this was my first trip to New Orleans and the city did not disappoint! Though we only had a few days there, I loved hearing jazz music on every corner and the s

ICELAND // ADVENTURES IN THE FIRE AND ICE
Last but not least on my 2018 Europe adventure was Iceland! One of my best friends lives in England and on my way home from Portugal, we met up to explore the land of fire and ice. Iceland was incredible! There is truly so much to see! It was like a photographer's paradise! Pictures truly can't do it justice! Enjoy! #travel #personal

PORTUGAL // COLORS, CASTLES & CULTURE
I had dreamed of visiting Lisbon for so long and it finally happened! After I finished my study trip to Spain, a couple of friends and I hopped on a short flight over to Lisbon to take in the beautiful of Portugal for a few days. And I can't even believe how incredible it was! There were so many colors and every corner was so full of life! Enjoy! #travel #personal

SPAIN // FROM BILBAO TO GRANADA
I has the incredibly opportunity this summer to study in Spain for four weeks! We lived with a Spanish host and explored every bit of Spain from Granada in the south up to San Sebastian up north. Spain is such an amazing country and this was my second time visiting and I already can't wait to be back! It was just so gorgeous! Enjoy! #travel #personal

DENMARK // AN UNEXPECTED WONDERLAND
The second stop on my solo European adventure this summer was Copenhagen, Denmark. I came to Copenhagen on a whim and really had no idea what to expect. I fell in love with the city! Denmark is so innovative and cheery and everything is absolutely gorgeous! I also had the opportunity to visit Sweden while I was there, which was beautiful as well. Enjoy! #personal #travel

IRELAND // MY FIRST SOLO EXPERIENCE ABROAD
This summer, I had my first opportunity to travel solo through Europe prior to my study program in Spain! My first stop on this adventure was Ireland, where I stayed in Dublin for the majority of my stay, with day trips out of the city to both Galway on the west coast and Belfast up north! It was such a jovial and beautiful place and I could not have had a better experience exploring this beautiful place. Enjoy! #personal #travel

WINSTON // AN ARTIST'S HOME
During my time in North Carolina, I had the pleasure of getting to know Winston, a family friend and an artist living on the beach of Kittyhawk. After seeing his unique studio in a shed attached to his home, I asked if it would be okay for me to photograph him working. He happily obliged and I was able to document some of the new things in his studio that he has collected from the beach included the skulls of beach horses, dolphins and sea turtles, an assortment of shells, dr

ROAD TRIP // FROM AZ TO DC
My first destination wedding experience was indeed a special one. I had two weddings in one week: one in North Carolina and one in Virginia! So, my mom and I decided to turn the trip into a big adventure, driving across the country from Tucson to the east coast! We stopped in San Antonio, New Orleans, Pensacola, Atlanta, Kittyhawk and Washington DC, all places I've never been before! So, needless to say it was a great experience and I'm so happy I got to share it with my mom

CHICAGO, IL // WINTER IN THE WINDY CITY
Back in October, I found round trip tickets to Chicago out of Phoenix for only $110 and I just couldn't say no. Chicago has been on my must-see list for so long and I was so excited when I had the opportunity to visit the city. I went with just my dad, and we had a great time exploring the city! I love the amazing art museum, the architecture and the fast-paced culture of the city! Would love to go back and visit one day. Enjoy! #travel #personal

VICTORIA, BC // WEEKEND IN A CHRISTMAS WONDERLAND
I went to Canada! I've never been before! I flew up to Seattle with a friend to visit another friend at the University of Washington and we decided to spend the night in Victoria during our trip and I fell in love with the quaint little town! Victoria was so gorgeous and I love all of the cute shops and restaurants! Though we didn't have a lot of time in the city, we made the most of it and saw all of the town's sights and ate all of its food! It was right before Christmas so

ARTIFACTS // A PERSONAL PROJECT
For my final photography project this semester, I wanted to do an alternative set of portraits that use the most important objects in one's life to describe themselves. Here is my artist statement: "Every ancient history class will undoubtedly spend time looking at the objects left over by ancient civilizations. Archaeologists uncover pots, tools, jewelry, and art created by ancient peoples every day and we use these objects to not only learn about past civilizations, but als

A TRIP TO THE LANTERN FEST
When I heard that the lantern fest was coming to Arizona again, I was super excited to be a part of it. The event was so incredible! A sea of golden light illuminated from the ground around us outward, towards the far reaches of the fairgrounds. Thousands and thousands of orbs of light were all flying away. It was honestly so incredible to watch. I recommend that anyone who can go should! Enjoy! #personal #events

NICOLINA // PLAYFUL PORTRAITS IN A LAMP SHOP
As a photographer, I think it is super important to have personal projects to help you keep your creativity flowing and allow yourself to experiment. Last week, I took my good friend Nicolina to a light store to take some fun photos with unique lighting. I used a copper pipe and the reflections of a chandelier to create interesting patterns of color and unique combinations of light. It was so much fun! Enjoy! #personal #portraits

NASHVILLE, TN // COUNTRY MUSIC & FRIED CHICKEN
A couple of weeks ago, I had the opportunity to visit Nashville with my good friend Nicolina! The decision to buy plane tickets and head out there was rather spontaneous but I'm so glad we did it! Nashville is such a lively city and we absolutely LOVED being able to hear live music everywhere we went. We saw the the Grand Ole Opry, visited the beautiful Cheekwood Gardens and kayaked down the river. We had such a fun time in the city and I would love to go back! Enjoy! #person

SAN FRANCISCO, CA // OUR WEST COAST GETAWAY
This week, I was lucky enough to be able to visit my favorite city ever: San Francisco! I have been visiting San Francisco every summer for years with my family and this year, I was able to bring my boyfriend David with me! We had an amazing time in the city, and even took a few days to go south to Santa Cruz and visit the boardwalk! We had so much fun and have a ton of recommendations for anyone else visiting the city! Here are some of my favorite snapshots from the week. En

SCOTLAND // A SPONTANEOUS DELIGHT
Our last stop on our trip was a two day weekend trip to Scotland with our friend Alexys. Sarah, Alexys and I took a train up to Edinburgh, checked into our hostel and began exploring. I had originally planned to add Edinburgh photos to the London post, until I realized just how beautiful Edinburgh is and I had waaaay too many photos to add them together. We went to Cramond Island, a small landmass only accessible via a landbridge that is uncovered at lowtide. It was one of th
