t couldn’t have been a more perfect golden sunlit evening in the beautiful community of Vistancia in Peoria, AZ. For those who might not know, Vistancia is a vibrant neighborhood community in Arizona, known for its friendly atmosphere and stunning landscapes. Speaking of community, that’s precisely how I met Zoey. During my years as a photographer, I’ve always made it a point to immerse myself in the local community and give back whenever possible. Theater is another passion that is near and dear to my heart, and I volunteer whenever I get the chance. Capturing theater production photos at Canyon View High School in Waddell, Arizona, is how I crossed paths with this extraordinary young talent. Speaking of community, that’s how I met Zoey.

I am not exaggerating when I say superstar! Every time I photographed a high school theater production, Zoey was the one who always shined the brightest on stage. Her talent was undeniable, and I was beyond thrilled when she chose me to capture her senior photos.

While working together, I learned she actually was accepted into Chapman University in California, College for Performing Arts. I am NOT surprised. She has so much for the world to see and I’m so excited about it! I truly hope to see her on Broadway one day.

Zoey loves to spend her time dancing, modeling, and acting. And we had so much fun together. I loved that she wanted a hug at the end of our session and she couldn’t be anymore sweeter.
