Hello, my name is Ayla! I was born and raised in Arizona but I have lived in Oregon for over 10 years now. I love to do anything outdoors! I also enjoy plein air painting, and have my work at various shows throughout the year. My camera and my dog Harper travel with me everywhere I go. I am experienced in both digital photography and film photography.

My passions include photography and animals. I grew up around all sorts of animals, from cats and dogs to farm animals. I started taking photos when I was younger of friends and family. I took a break from photography to complete school where I became a certified veterinary technician. Photography is my full time job.

I love to capture the authenticity of a moment. Photography to me goes beyond merely pointing a camera and clicking the shutter. Instead, photography is about storytelling, emotion, and evoking a reaction from the viewer. It allows us to document the world around us, showcasing unique perspectives and narratives that might otherwise go unnoticed. Through photography, we can hold onto memories, preserve history, and convey messages in a way that words may fall short. Whether it's capturing vibrant landscapes, documenting the beauty of a fleeting moment, or telling a compelling human story, photography serves as a powerful tool of expression. It invites us to see the world through a different lens and appreciate the artistry and magic of capturing life's most breathtaking moments.
