Photo of me by my boo, 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, wedding, and documentary photographer. I live in Tempe, Arizona and am available to travel all over Arizona for photo shoots. I absolutely love to create art and capture memories with my cameras.
In high school, I tried every single semester to get into my school’s photography class. my final semester as a senior at Gilbert High School in Gilbert. My teacher, Mr. Lewellenstudied photography in high school and then in college at Arizona State University, getting a degree in fine arts with an emphasis in photography.
