Photographing Utah Indigenous Fashion Week 2025 was an unforgettable experience. From the stunning venue to the powerful designs on the runway, this event celebrated Indigenous identity, diversity, and artistry!

Check out the creative process behind a captivating photoshoot with violinist Angelica Salazar. Inspired by her music, we crafted a dramatic visual narrative filled with elegant poses, rich red tones, and flowing fabrics. See how creativity and collaboration brought this artistic vision to life.

Alleyways Amplified has a way of curating events that feel intentional, elevated, and full of creative energy! Their latest fashion show, It’s Not Lonely At the Top, took place on the 41st floor of the Astra Tower in downtown Salt Lake City and the setting couldn’t have been more striking. Yes, it was chilly (very chilly—it is Utah spring, after all), but honestly, the cool air made the night feel even more dramatic in the best way. The dark sky, the glowing city skyline, and the open rooftop created such a stunning atmosphere. It was the kind of backdrop that makes everything feel cinematic.

This shoot by the lake was one of my favorites! Soft light, a red gel, and the peaceful energy that comes just after sunset. I worked with the sweetest model and a super talented makeup artist, and I brought along my Godox Pro100 flash to help capture it all. I’m obsessed with this flash!

As the producer and behind-the-scenes photographer of Courage, I had the incredible opportunity to help bring this Indigenous-led short film to life from the ground up. From assembling a cast and crew rooted in Native talent to documenting the creative process on set, this project was a celebration of authentic storytelling, representation, and the collaborative effort it takes to create something truly meaningful behind the camera.

I had the incredible opportunity to document behind-the-scenes moments and teach about set design at the Dream Starter Native Youth Filmmaking Workshop in Utah County. Led by Al Groves and his daughter Dowawisnima Groves, this workshop focused on Indigenous youth learning the art of filmmaking. With filmmaker Adam Conte guiding them, the kids explored the many roles on a film set—learning that, just like in our Native communities, everyone has a role, and everyone contributes to the greater good of the project.

Working as a photographer for Park City Fashion Week 2025 during the Sundance Film Festival was an unforgettable experience. The runway show was filled with incredible talent—from designers and models to hair and makeup artists, producers, and an entire team working tirelessly to bring the vision to life. Seeing the energy and creativity behind the scenes was just as inspiring as the show itself.
