ABOUT ballad

You didn't hear wrong..... my name is actually Ballad!  Growing up in a musical family they deemed it appropriate!  

My three passions in life:  faith, family and photos.  12 years ago, my life found a whole new purpose.  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!
