About Skylar

I grew up in a small town in Western South Dakota but moved to the beautiful state of Oregon in 2021. My small-town upbringing taught me to value community, but Oregon has given me a better understanding of diversity and culture. I’m excited to explore that deeper as I meet new people from all walks of life. 
​
I got my first camera when I was a freshman in high school and quickly became obsessed with capturing the world around me. After shooting my first wedding for $600, I called my parents a week later and told them I was moving to Portland to become a wedding photographer. I did not have near enough money in my savings account and zero weddings on the calendar. But I had fallen in love with this job, and there was no holding me back. 

Since then, photography has become much more than just a career for me. It’s transformed the way I view the world and has allowed me to connect with people on a deeper level. It’s a form of expression, and an essential part of who I am.
