Hi! I'm Farrah (she/her). I grew up in Northern Colorado and am very thankful to call the mountains home. I am half Iranian and speak Farsi. I am a Virgo, the oldest of four, and I love Studio Ghibli movies! In addition to being a photographer, I am also a high school art teacher where I get to see the beauty of my student’s self-expression in their artworks every day. I have a Bachelor of Arts in fine art photography and art education and a Master of Arts in educational equity and cultural diversity. I am deeply passionate about human rights and social justice. I love to drink coffee, paint, shoot film, go on hikes with my husband and toddler, read books, and be outside. I am so thankful that you are here and if you want to chat more about life, photography, or good books, I’m your gal.
My style is warm and photojournalistic. I want my images to feel natural and organic, I want my wedding galleries to tell a full story of your day- all the emotions, all the belly laughs, all the little details that make your day special. I am not interested in stiff poses but rather getting to know you as a couple and creating images that truly showcase your love and your story. I will direct rather than pose and prompt rather than instruct. Most importantly, I want your photos to truly look how your day felt!
Connecting with you and making you feel comfortable is the most important thing to me. On your wedding day I am a calm presence but also will direct when needed. Mostly, I like to let the magic of your day unfold naturally and document in the most authentic way possible. I love working with all genders, nationalities, races, sexual orientations, abilities, and beliefs. Every relationship is unique and it’s important to me to capture your story in a way that makes you say, "wow, that’s us."

"My husband and I are very shy when it comes to expressing ourselves in front of others. Our fears/nerves were put to rest quickly due to Farrah’s calmness, encouragement, and direction. Farrah worked so well with us and captured beautiful shots that show exactly who we are individually as well as a couple. Our photos show comfort, love, and pure happiness. Farrah is a true artist and her work is unlike anything I’ve seen before. We are beyond thankful to have these photos and will cherish them forever."

"Working with Farrah was one of the highlights of our entire wedding experience. Farrah was professional but her warm personality made us feel comfortable in front of the camera immediately. Farrah’s passion for photography shows in every single shot she takes. We could not have found a more professional and talented photographer to perfectly capture our beautiful wedding day. Because of her beautiful art, we can look back on our picture perfect day and remember each and every moment for a lifetime."

"All I can say is WOW! What an incredible experience we had. Our wedding photos turned out better than we ever could have expected. Farrah and Shasta were so kind and patient with us and were very helpful with posing since we are not models by any means lol! We are so happy to have worked with them. I wish we could get married again just to have even more photos!"

Farrah captured our day in the most beautiful way and even though we don't consider ourselves photogenic, we felt so comfortable and natural with Farrah. Our photos truly show all the details and emotion of our special day and we couldn't be more thankful for her artistic talents."
