HEY, I'M IVY

PHOTOGRAPHER FOR THE
DANCE-LIKE-NO-ONES WATCHING TYPES

Around here, we're choosing presence over perfection. The windswept hair, the uncontrollable laughter, the happy tears, the moments that don't go according to plan but somehow become your favorite memories anyway.

My photography is for people who care more about how it felt than how it looked. I'll guide you when you need it, cheer you on when you're nervous, and document the moments unfolding naturally in front of us. The result? Images that feel effortless, authentic, and unmistakably you.

YOU HAD ME AT HELLO

THE VIBES

Editorial meets documentary

guided, never stiff

Colorful, vibrant, and true-to-life

movement over awkward posing

Real moments over perfect moments

timeless without feeling traditional

LET'S CHAT

I believE...

Love is love. Full stop.

Inclusivity is the bare minimum. Celebration is the goal.

Your story doesn't need to fit a mold.

Joy looks good on everybody.

Your quirks are part of the magic.

A woman with curly hair wearing a tan crop top and jeans is kneeling in a field of yellow flowers, taking a photo of a couple holding hands and walking towards a rainbow in a cloudy sky, with mountains in the background.

Hey, I’m Ivy

I know how important it can be to find someone you truly connect with to photograph your special day.

Here’s a little bit more of my story…

I'm the kind of person who tears up during first dances, stops to pet every dog I pass, and somehow turns complete strangers into friends before we've even started taking photos.

Life has taken me on quite the adventure before planting roots in colorful Colorado. I've road-tripped across the country, traveled solo to places I once only dreamed about, danced at festivals, hiked mountains, laughed until my stomach hurt, and learned that the best stories are usually the ones you never planned. Those experiences have shaped not only who I am, but the way I photograph people—with curiosity, empathy, and a deep appreciation for the beautifully imperfect moments that make us who we are. I now reside in Longmont, Colorado with my dachshund Remy and my partner.

Photography became so much more than a creative outlet after losing my mom unexpectedly in my twenties. Looking through photographs of her reminded me that memories become priceless far sooner than we expect. That experience changed everything. It taught me that the smallest moments often become the biggest treasures, and it's why I'm drawn to documenting the genuine stuff—the teary hugs, the uncontrollable laughter, the quiet glances, and all the moments happening in between.

When I'm not behind the camera, you'll probably find me hunting for the best brunch in town, attempting yet another new craft, belting out Cher at karaoke, wandering through wildflowers, or planning my next adventure. Wherever life takes us, I can't wait to hear your story, cheer you on, and create photographs that feel like you—honest, joyful, a little weird, and full of heart.
