Photo-Mia is a photography and design studio specializing in 35mm film and digital imagery, hand bound photo albums, and custom letterpress and screen printed invitations. The studio has been in operation since 2002 and has earned an excellent reputation for its spirited photography and individualized album designs. The photograph is used as a means of creative visual storytelling, a special document that will serve as a reminder of who was present and what took place at your event. All events are approached as being unique, and the studio creates hand bound photo albums to house and protect images that will be passed down for generations.

"I realize that not everyone is comfortable being photographed and I work in a variety of ways to put people at ease in front of the camera. With a combination of light hearted and relaxed formals and a photojournalistic sensibility I strive to capture fun, beautiful, energetic images that reveal the spirit of the day."

In 1998 she received her MFA in photography and electronic media from the University of Colorado, Boulder where she currently teaches photography in the Department of Fine Arts and the Division of Continuing Education.
