Aria has always been a creative at heart. When she was young, she would spend hours creating iMovie videos on her iPad and taking photos on her tiny digital camera. She loved capturing moments in time to be kept and cherished forever.
As she's grown older, that same zeal for creation has stayed with her. Originally from Denver, Colorado, she now attends the University of Michigan, where she studies Business Administration with an emphasis in Marketing.
When she's not in class, you can find her snapping photos and producing videos around campus. As Head Photo Editor & Photographer at the Michiganensian Yearbook, she covers games, events, and stories across campus. Her favorite event to date has been covering the Michigan v. Alabama ReliaQuest Bowl game in Tampa on New Year's Eve. She also works as a Producer at Filmic Productions, a student-led ad agency on campus with UofM clients and local businesses.
Beyond her work on campus, she loves connecting with people and photographing them. This past semester, she got to do just that: she backpacked across Europe (with a quick stop in China) over 100 days, visiting 15 countries and more than 45 cities to capture the human experience: food, culture, community, and nature.
This translates into her sessions with high school seniors, college grads, families, couples, and students, with her focus on authenticity. Each session is centered around one goal: genuinely capturing her clients' spirit, personality, and story. While she provides direction when needed, she also pays close attention to quiet moments, small details, and candid interactions. By blending guidance with observation, she ensures clients leave with photos they love and feel true to them.
Her degree in business and marketing also gives her the knowledge to work with companies, where she offers a unique perspective—a blend of marketing expertise, comprehensive business analysis, and visuals that reflect their brand's story and resonate with their customers.
Whatever it may be, Aria would love to work with you! She welcomes you to meander around here and hopes you feel the same warmth, nostalgia, & joy that she feels when capturing these moments.
