For the seekers, the storytellers, and the wild at heart
Based in Montrose, Colorado, traveling the world to capture honest stories and hold space for artists to rise.
Come Find Your People
Hi, I’m Kena. I’m a photographer, mama, retreat host, and creative mentor living in the wild and wonderful mountains of Montrose, Colorado. I believe in honest stories, golden light, and creating space for all artists and creatives to come home to themselves.
My photography is deeply rooted in connection — the kind you feel in your bones. Whether we’re capturing a family’s quiet joy or a woman’s powerful becoming, I want you to feel seen, celebrated, and at ease.
Through Ivy & Co., My amazing husband Dan & I host retreats for creatives around the world. We slow down, make art, and remember how good it feels to create with freedom.
If you feel pulled toward presence, beauty, and becoming... you’re in the right place.

New Zealand's South Island is a photographer's paradise where dramatic fjords carve through towering mountains and golden beaches meet wild, untamed coastlines. In Milford Sound, sheer cliffs rise straight from the sea while waterfalls cascade into mirror-like waters, especially magical during golden hour. Venture to Queenstown for its adventurous spirit and alpine lakes, or explore the wild Catlins with its rugged cliffs, ancient forests, and hidden coves. It's the kind of place that makes you breathe deeper, feel more alive, and dream bigger.

The kind of photos you can feel
soft, sacred, and a little untamed.
Whether you're eloping on a mountain top, planning a backyard celebration, or just want to capture this season of life with your person, I’m here for it.
No stiff poses. No weird prompts. Just the real stuff: how you hold each other, how you laugh together, how your love feels on the inside.
We'll chase golden light and document the in-between moments that matter most.
Weddings & couples
Your story starts here
For the wildly in love.
This is your sign to stay wild
+ stay in the loop.
This isn’t about perfect poses or forced smiles. It’s about muddy toes, windblown hair, arms wrapped tight, and the way your kiddo looks at you when they feel safe and seen. These sessions are playful, connected, and full of movement , just like your wild, wonderful life.
Let’s bottle up your real and keep it forever.
Families & little ones
What memories do you want to keep
Where the real moments live.
