Photo of me by Ryan, at Dead Horse Point State Park in Utah, near Arches, Moab, and Canyonlands. One of the most beautiful places I have ever visited.
My name is Brenda and I am a portrait and wedding photographer. I live in Tempe, Arizona and am available to travel all over metro Phoenix and the state of Arizona for photo shoots.
I absolutely love to create art and capture memories with my cameras for my clients.
All throughout high school, I tried every semester to get into the photography class at Gilbert High School. It wasn’t until my final semester as a senior that I finally got in—and it was worth the wait. I had the privilege of learning from the incredible Mr. Lewellen, whose passion for photography left a lasting impression on me. That experience solidified my path, and I went on to earn a Bachelor of Fine Arts with an emphasis in photography from Arizona State University
