Let's talk about weddings! ✨
My approach to wedding photography is a mix of intention and instinct. I believe in capturing the real, unscripted moments—the laughter during getting ready, the stolen glances across the room, the unexpected tears during toasts. These are the moments that make your day yours, and I stay ready to catch them as they naturally unfold.
But I also know how meaningful it is to have a few beautifully composed portraits. The ones where you feel confident and connected, where we take a breath from the whirlwind and create something timeless together.
So I do both!
I gently guide when needed, step back when the magic is happening on its own, and make sure your photos reflect the full experience: the quiet, the loud, the in-between. Because your story deserves to be told in more than one way.
This wedding couldn't have been more beautiful and perfect for these two! Thank you for including me in your special day!

"I first found Sommer (Solstice Photo) when looking for a photographer for my son’s graduation photos. He’s a musical artist, so we wanted someone that had an artist’s eye as well. She was perfect for the job. I then hired her just before my 50th to do a shoot when I was heavy in the swings of early menopause. I wanted to feel powerful in my changing body. Now in my early 50’s, I found myself needing new professional headshots, as well as a partner in creating a photographic installation piece for an upcoming exhibition. I took the opportunity to also celebrate my post menopausal self and play in the desert. Sommer makes you feel so comfortable, and I felt as one with the desert I adore. Our combined artist energy was so fun!" -@rachelivanyi
It is SUCH AN HONOR to collaborate with other amazing artists like Rachel. I strongly encourage you all to check out her work!
Capturing the love and connection of families is one of my greatest joys as a photographer. Family photos are more than just pictures—they're timeless keepsakes that tell your unique story. And let’s not forget our furry family members! Including pets in your photoshoot adds a whole new level of joy and authenticity. After all...they truly hold a special place in our hearts and deserve to be part of these cherished memories too. 🐾❤️
Ready to create beautiful, lasting moments with your loved ones (two- and four-legged alike)? Let's make it happen!

Never done a photoshoot before and nervous about being in front of a camera?
I GOT YOU.
Whether you've never had professional pictures taken or just feel awkward in front of the camera, I’ll guide you through natural poses that feel effortless. No stiff or forced smiles here! I'll literally never ask you to smile! I focus on movement, real moments, and small adjustments that make a big difference. All you have to do is show up, trust the process, and let me handle the rest! ✨
Happy Birthday @jessi_gom! You absolutely blew me away with how naturally you pose and your kindness and beauty ☺️

Happy Valentine’s Day! 🧡
Love deserves to be celebrated.
Life moves fast, but taking a moment to cherish the person who makes your heart full is what makes it all worthwhile.
Capture the love, hold onto the moments, and never stop celebrating the connections that matter most.

Wedding vs Elopement? You really can't go wrong! Both have their benefits and difficulties, but here's 3 Signs You Should Elope ✨💍
1️⃣ You want an intimate, stress-free day focused on just the two of you.
2️⃣ You’d rather invest in experiences than a big wedding.
3️⃣ Your dream location is a mountaintop, beach, desert or even a cozy courthouse instead of a banquet hall.
If this sounds like you, it might be time to ditch the guest list and say "I do" your way! 💕🏔️🏝️
Would you ever elope? Tell me in the comments! ⬇️
This elopement couldn't be more special and beautiful and we got stormed on! It's all part of the adventure ⛈️ Thank you to the most wonderful couple @exeleeruiz and Isaiah!

Here are SOME of my favorite photos from 2024! I had so many favorites it was so hard to choose just nine! This year I found my style and my people. I fell in love with weddings and elopements and can't wait to do more next year 🧡
Thank you for an amazing year! Here's to 2025! 📸🎉

Location, location, location! The backdrop of your photoshoot isn't just a setting—it's a storyteller. Whether it’s the rugged charm of the desert or the serene vibes of a golden field, the right location brings depth and emotion to your photos. It’s more than just pretty scenery; it’s a reflection of the magic you want to create. ✨
Let’s make your next shoot unforgettable by choosing a space that speaks to your story. 📸 Where would your dream shoot take place? Drop your dream location below!
*PLEASE NOTE: this was a perfectly safe photoshoot and she was in absolutely no danger from the longhorns. They are elderly and have no interest in people, they just like snacks. Both have been exposed to people their entire lives (rumour has it they may have even been in a big movie or two!) and have no history of unpredictable behaviors. They're sweet ol grandpas ☺️🐮
