This isn’t just about looking good. It’s about being seen. Photos that feel like you — bold, clear, and confident.
Working with me isn’t just about the photos — it’s about trust, connection, and getting it done right.
I don’t take it lightly when someone chooses me to be behind the camera. That trust matters. I pay attention to the details most people miss — how you stand, how you carry yourself, the way you want to be seen. It’s those details that make the difference between a photo that’s “fine” and one that feels like you.
I build real relationships with my clients. Not just so the experience is comfortable — but so you feel seen, heard, and confident from the first consultation through to delivery. Whether this is your first session or your fifth, you’ll never feel like just another client.
If you're looking for a photographer who shows up, listens, and delivers — let’s talk.

AT A GLANCE
I’m a dog lover and have two labradors that are my fur kids
MY FAVORITE PLACE TO START THE DAY IS LA VIE EN BAKERY IN WENATCHEE. THEIR BLACKBERRY ITALIAN SODAS ARE A MUST!
In 2018, I founded the Ryder Safe Foundation, dedicated to educating others about the importance of dog collar safety.
AFTER HOURS OR ON THE WEEKEND I enjoy hiking or taking MY BIKE OUT FOR AN ADVENTURE OR RIDING THE 10-MILE LOOP AND APPRECIATING THE BEAUTY OF THE WENATCHEE VALLEY.
I COLLECT HEART-SHAPED ROCKS AS A REMINDER THAT MY LOVED ONES ARE WATCHING OVER ME
I'm a total gardening addict in the summer. Dirt, plants, sunshine – it's my happy place!
THE OREGON COAST IS MY HOME AWAY FROM HOME. THERE IS A FREEDOM I FIND WHEN I’M NEAR THE OCEAN. MY SOUL IS PEACEFUL AND MY SPIRIT IS FREE.
I’M PASSIONATE ABOUT MOTIVATING AND INSPIRING OTHERS ALONG THEIR JOURNEY TO HELP THEM REACH THEIR GOALS.
I love tacos! They’re a weekly must from my favorite restaurant. Every day is Taco Tuesday.
I live by the motto, “If your dream isn’t scary, it isn’t big enough.” It keeps me dreaming big no matter what!
