Arizona Milestone Photographer
A TRUE TO COLOR, YET MOODY MILESTONE PHOTOGRAPHER
Hi there, sweet friend! I’m Raven, the girl behind the camera. I’m based in Scottsdale, Arizona… but honestly? I’ll travel pretty much anywhere. If there’s love, a good story, and good light… I’m in.
I’m a milestone photographer, which basically means I don’t just want to photograph one chapter of your life, I want to be there for all of it.
The engagement.
The wedding day you’ve been dreaming about.
The quiet in-between moments.
The baby bumps.
The messy toddlers.
And the annual family photos where someone is definitely bribed with snacks.
What really matters to me is connection. I love turning complete strangers into people I’d honestly consider family. I want you to feel known, comfortable, and fully yourself in front of my camera. Like you’re hanging out with a friend who just happens to have a camera.
milestonesIT IS ALL ABOUT YOUR LIFES
WHY I DO WHAT I DO
For my couples — especially my brides — I’m with you way before the wedding day even arrives. I help with timelines, discuss with you what photographs beautifully and what will not, and how to feel confident and natural in front of the camera. I’ll tell you exactly what to do with your hands, how to stand, and remind you to breathe when it all starts to feel like… well a lot.
I love walking alongside all of my clients. I guide you through the entire process. From before we even sign a contract to figuring out what outfits to wear, to posing, to keeping things fun and stress-free. And if kids are involved? We’re playing games. No stiff smiles being delivered in your galleries.
My goal is for your session or your wedding day to feel more like you’re living it rather than performing for it. I will captured the laughing, moving, and reminding you to soak it all in… even when it’s a little chaotic, because honestly, that’s real life, but that’s the good stuff.
So if you’re looking for a photographer who will hype you up, calm your nerves, capture the big moments and the in-between ones… and turn this whole experience into something that feels personal, meaningful, and lasting. Hi, it’s me.
I’d be honored to tell your love story. I cannot wait to be your personal hype-woman behind that camera.

“Working with Raven was such a great experience! The entire process was smooth, stress-free, and so easy from start to finish. Communication was clear, scheduling was simple and everything felt effortless. I couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out. Highly recommend!”
— Trevor Black (Google Review) “Raven did an amazing job on our family pictures. So happy with the results. Made the session so fun and exciting. And so good with Winston and got great shots of our cute pup. We love Raven, and highly recommend you book her NOW!”
— Gayla Smith (Google Review)“I can’t say enough wonderful things. Raven makes you feel completely comfortable and at ease in front of the camera (Even when you have people standing around watching you). Her attention to detail, lighting, posing, glasses glare, hair, etc is impexxable. She also was happily involved in assisting with picking outfits & accessories (as a friend and professional). Raven’s genuine emotion is incredible - every photo perfectly captured my boyfriend and I’s relationship. She caught all the little “in between” interactions/moments. Who doesn’t love candid photos? The gallery quite literally made my jaw drop;. I’ll treasure these photos forever. Raven’s work is phenomenal but i didn’t realize i’d fall in love with every single photo in the gallery the way I did. So hard to narrow my favorites down. If you are looking for someone who is not only talented but also kind, patient, and passionate about thier product and services…. RAVEN IS YOUR GAL”
