ABOUT ballad
You didn't hear wrong..... my name is actually Ballad! Growing up in a musical family they deemed it appropriate!
Let's start by stating, there is NOTHING more important than my faith and salvation in my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. I know undoubtedly, that my life and all the blessings that I have, are only because of His incredible love and grace.
In 2007, my life took an unexpected halt in Denver. I fell hard and instantly for a tall sexy guy that was, and still is, too good for me. I moved back to California from Denver to start our journey together. Shortly after we were married, the Lord blessed us with the most beautiful baby girl. I knew I wanted the best for her and couldn't afford a photographer. I took what was a hobby most of my life, applied my drive to it and went back to school for photography. I took every class and workshop I could get my hands on and I was thirsty for more knowledge. It feels like a second went by and here we are over a decade later.
It's always a surreal moment to this day when a client trusts me and is excited to work with me on a project or wedding. While I do see the evolving of beautiful affordable cameras, I still strongly believe there will be a need for professional services, especially with irreplaceable moments like a wedding.
I would be honored and humbled to be considered to be a part of your special day. Thanks for taking the time to get to know me a little and look forward to hearing about your story!
