Behind The Lens

Hello, I’m Aria!

When I’m not teaching dance classes, helping with real estate, serving at church, or spending time with my family, I’m behind the camera — doing what I love most.

Photography, to me, isn’t just about pretty pictures. It’s about preserving the season you’re in right now — the messy, beautiful, fleeting moments you don’t realize you’ll miss someday. I love capturing photos that feel authentic to you… the kind you’ll stumble across years from now and instantly be transported back to how it felt.

Whether you’re becoming a new mama, soaking in your kids growing up way too fast, celebrating a senior year, or saying “I do,” I’m your girl. I’m drawn to anything that feels alive, warm, sentimental, and sweet — the in-between laughs, the teary hugs, the quiet hand squeezes.

Because honestly? The best photos aren’t stiff or overly posed. They’re the ones where you feel comfortable enough to just be yourself. I care about getting to know you beyond the camera — how you’re really doing, what matters to you, what season you’re walking through — because that’s what shapes the story we’re telling.

At the end of the day, this is about more than photos. It’s about legacy, connection, and remembering the goodness of right now. And it would be such an honor to help you hold onto it.

My Photography Journey

Since I was a little girl, I’ve always loved to take pictures and make videos. I found myself enjoying the creativity in figuring out how to use light and finding out which angles to use to make creative shots. And as I’ve gotten older, I still have this same excitement and enjoyment with it!

At 16 I bought my first DSLR camera, and would take it on every family vacation, summer walk, anywhere I could to get experience in. I would spend hours watching informative Youtube videos on how I could improve.

And now I am growing in my knowledge and experience still, but am excited to take this journey with you. I thank God for everything He’s given me so far, and it can only get better!
