Things to know about me?


I am a mother of two and a wife to my husband, Chreston Moody who often tags along with me! We have rooted ourselves in our small cozy town, El Dorado Springs. But we love to travel and see the world, go camping, hiking, etc. Outdoors, you have our attention!

Often at times, my son Dawson and my bonus baby Symphony will make an appearance with us or just me! Don't mind their onry selves, they are just toddlers! Which also brings me to say that I am full time stay at home mom with a photographer career.


I love all things neutral colors and I am a plant lover! I LOVE plants (great gift idea ;) haha!) . Coffee is another thing that I like personally and Dr. Pepper (nothing can go wrong with a good ole' Sonic Route 44). But what I love most of all, is being a photographer.

Blue is also my favorite color; golden hour is my FAVORITE time to shoot sessions as well. And cheesecake is a must in my life (when I can snag it!).


Most of my early years for a career choice was a Certified Nursing assistant (7-8 years long). But I knew it just wasn't for me for long.. and that was when I decided to take the next big step. Picking up a camera for the first time and pulling head strong into photography. Which brought me to realize, I may have been way in over my head in the beginning (haha!) but I am finding my foothold now! And I would LOVE for you to be apart of this huge passion with me. This is also why I love doing photography, I can show my family the world and what God created for us to see!


Please note;

I do also submit into magazines or photo contests during the year; this has become a HUGE goal of mine. You can always see the progress or check out this content in the next box below! Otherwise; enjoy your time!

I hope to hear from you.

What is important to me as a photographer?


I strive to make sure that everyone is comfortable during their session. Comfort, safety, and fun is my main concerns. I am all for hiking a trail with you to capture a surprise proposal, traveling to a new studio, or a new destination for your wedding; but comfort and safety is my top priority while your in my care during the session.


My next most important thing would have to be making sure you love your album just as much as I do! Don't tell me you love it if you don't, that is the only way that I will learn and grow! Feedback is a blessing over here. Why? Picking a photographer can be a struggle sometimes. SO many styles, and endless possibilities.

But it boils down to what YOU are seeking in the end.

Pricing, style, locations and communication is a big three factors for your session, of course along with other factors as well.
