Arlena is a featured freelance photographer who has been capturing memories for nearly 3 years. She has always loved snapping pictures, but her heart really grew to love photography after her oldest son was diagnosed with Autism. It was hard to take pictures that captured his wild soul and sweet spirit! So it became her mission to capture him and his crazy younger brothers loving personalities. When she is not behind the camera, this soccer-coaching, lego-stepping, Boy-Mom loves Wonder Woman, snowboarding, and Netflix binge-watching with her hubby. Oh, and don't forget the Wine! 

​

She resides in Albuquerque, New Mexico but loves to travel to surrounding states to take in their unique beauty. She has lived in many places including Utah and California, and has a knack for finding the perfect place to capture you and your families unique personalities. She absolutely adores working with special needs kids and their loved ones. She provides Engagements, Wedding, Family, Newborn and High School Senior Sessions.
