🌵 NM Wildlife Research Experience 🐾
My time in New Mexico shaped a huge part of who I am today and amplified my love and appreciation for wildlife and nature. 🌿
I am so grateful for the time I spent there and all the amazing things I got to see and experience as a Wildlife Technician at NMSU.🐻 Most people hear "desert" and think dry, dead, vast nothingness when there is actually such an abundance of magical and resilient wildlife in that ecosystem if you take a moment to look.

Although I ended up pivoting into starting my own Photography business, wildlife research will always have a place in my heart. I try to work outside in nature as much as possible and work with animals as much as I can because it brings me back to myself and it's what keeps me grounded and connected. 🔮💫🧿
I also worked as a dog groomer for 8 years before I went into this new venture / side quest ⚔️ so PLEASE believe me when I tell you your pets are more than welcome at your photoshoots! Bring your dog, cat, horses or llamas! If you don't have any pets, I also provide horse rental services for your sessions as well as llamas, snakes, and fluffy mini Highland Cows! 🐮
