My Story... Faith, Family, & Everything in Between

Heyyy, I'm Skyla!


I was born and raised in sunny Southern California, but my journey has taken me all across the United States — and most recently, to beautiful Southern Spain, where my husband and I spent nearly four incredible years raising our three wonderfully bold and tenderhearted children (two daughters and one son), while traveling around Europe. Now, we find ourselves back in Southern California: San Diego!


As a military wife, homeschooling mom, and international traveler, life is full of movement and new experiences — and while it can be challenging at times, I wouldn’t trade it for anything. My faith in Jesus, my family, and my love for music, the outdoors, horses, dancing, and travel shape not only who I am but also how I see the world as well as those around me.


Those same passions inspire my photography — reminding me to find beauty in every season, connection, and adventure. Keep reading to discover where my love for photography began and what continues to fuel my passion for capturing life’s most meaningful moments.


Why... My family

My love for photography began in childhood, flipping through old family photo albums and watching my grandfather’s holiday slideshows. My mother nurtured that passion through photography classes and competitions, and before long, I was capturing moments for friends and family.


Having only a handful of photos of myself as a child, I’ve grown to deeply appreciate the power of preserving life’s special moments — from my husband’s and my engagement to the birth of our children, and all of the milestones that came after. As a military family, I’ve learned how meaningful it is to freeze time, especially when distance and change make every reunion and laugh that much more precious.


To me, photography is more than posed smiles or picture-perfect settings — it’s about capturing the real and in-between moments that tell your story. The laughter, the tenderness, the chaos, and the joy — the fleeting expressions that reveal who you truly are. Whether it’s welcoming a loved one home, celebrating an engagement, or documenting the beauty of everyday life, I strive to create timeless, heartfelt images that let you relive those feelings again and again.


Let’s create something beautiful together — authentic, emotional, and uniquely yours.


My goal is to capture beautiful in-between moments that make your story truly special
