Hello, I’m Claire!

Wedding, Elopement + Portrait Photographer in Grand Junction, Moab & beyond

I photograph weddings, elopements, couples, proposals, and portraits for people who love the outdoors, adventure, and being themselves. I love storytelling and capturing the way things naturally unfold, from the big moments to the little details in between. From Grand Junction and Palisade, across Western Colorado, to Moab and the Southwest, I’m there to tell your story as it really happens, naturally and honestly.

Capture your memories

True-to-Life Color + Clean, Classic Editing

My photography is true to life, with natural colors and light. No trendy filters or changing who you are, just photographs that look and feel like you. I love windblown hair, muddy boots, flowers, nature, and all the little details that make your story yours.

I bought my first camera while hiking the Great Wall of China. Photography became my way of capturing the adventures, stories, and landscapes exactly as I experienced them.

Wedding photography

I capture weddings across Western Colorado and Utah with a natural, bright, and joyful approach. No Photoshop or trendy filters, just clean, timeless images that feel like you and tell the true story of your day.

Elopements

Elopements and micro weddings

Just the two of you exchanging vows in Moab’s red rocks or a micro wedding with family in Western Colorado, I’ll capture your ceremony with natural storytelling, true colors, and timeless images

Portraits

Couples engagements + Proposals.

I’ll help you plan the timing and location so you can relax and enjoy the moment. I’ll capture the candid moments as they unfold, then guide you through natural portraits afterward. Relaxed, genuine, and true to you, with no forced poses or trendy edits.

Adventure Sessions

Adventure Sessions in Moab + Beyond

Moab has been part of my life for more than 25 years. I remember when the road into Arches was dirt, and I’ve spent years exploring its trails, overlooks and hidden corners. You choose the adventure and the location. I’ll bring the camera and capture the story along the way.
