Hi, I’m Destiny!

I’m 25 years old, a destination couples + elopement photographer based in Portland, Oregon. I’m a wife, avid coffee drinker, thrifter, ABBA lover, and proud cat-mom. 

If you were to tell me today that I would never get paid another penny to take photos for the rest of my life, it still wouldn't stop me from doing what I love. To me, this art is more than just a second source of income; it's what I dreamt of doing since I was a little girl looking at old family photos. It's what I was put onto this earth to do.

I’m kind and bold. Sensitive and sarcastic. A spontaneous soul drawn to travel, music, and creating art.

When we meet, we’ll laugh ‘til our stomachs hurt and capture beautiful, authentic photos in the meantime. The best part of this job is connecting with each client on a meaningful level. My heart will always be at the center of my work.

I have the best clients ever.

  • Kelsey & Drew

    She was amazing to work with! Made us feel so comfortable and made the process so easy! Could not recommend her enough!!

  • Dylan & Brooklyn

    We are from out of state and were visiting friends wanting to get some pictures done during our vacation. The shoot went AMAZING. Destiny makes you feel so comfortable. The work she puts into capturing the perfect pictures is seen. Highly recommend; thank you so much Destiny, you truly are a great photographer!

  • Hailey & Eric

    I'm so glad I found Destiny, I could not have imagined anyone else taking my wedding photos. She's super genuine and down to earth and knows how to make you feel comfortable and confident. She's not just there for a paycheck, she genuinely cares about you and what you want. Absolutely talented woman!

  • Chelsea & Tyler

    “Destiny is seriously the kindest human I've ever worked with. She's an outstanding photographer and she works well with your entire family. I'm so grateful to know her; her skill is unmatched and her work shows this!”

  • Angelica & Zach

    Destiny did such an amazing job on our pictures and went above and beyond what we could’ve asked for! Oh and did I mention she traveled to us for these?! Destiny was willing to come out to Texas and well I can not imagine a more dedicated person to do this job because you can tell how much love and effort she puts into making sure you not only look your best but how comfortable and fun she makes you feel while shooting! She’ll definitely be your biggest hype woman!!

  • Sierra & Josh

    Destiny is fantastic, welcoming, and incredibly talented! She took engagement pictures at sunrise for my fiancé and I and we couldn’t have had a better session! I highly recommend!

  • Catie & Jeffery

    I truly recommend Destiny as a photographer. She was super helpful every step of the way starting with just questions to the very last photo. During the photo shoot, she made taking photos as normal and fun as possible, which I appreciated. All of those things are just about how nice she is not to mention how well the photos turned out. I was visiting my fiancé for only 3 days when we got these done and she sent a sneak peek the same day, which allowed us to look at the photos together. I am so so grateful! I highly recommend Destiny.
