I had severe migraines when I was a teenager and suffered a stroke at age 18. This led to many hospital visits and consultations with doctors. I was diagnosed with an Atrial Septal Defect (ASD) a dime size hole in my heart.
I red-shirted my freshman year in college, while on a swimming scholarship at the University of Utah, in order to have surgery to correct my heart defect.

A mini session is a quick, focused photoshoot designed to capture beautiful moments in a shorter time frame. Perfect for couples, families, or individuals, these sessions typically last 15-30 minutes and are held at a set location with a streamlined approach. Mini sessions are an affordable and efficient way to get high-quality photos for special occasions, seasonal updates, or just because. Many various mini sessions are offered during the year:
Valentine's Day, Easter sessions with live baby chicks/bunnies. Mother's Day, Beach minis, Back to school, Fall and Holiday mini sessions.
After graduating from the University of Utah with a degree in Painting & Drawing, I bought my first film Canon SLR. Not too long after that I upgraded to a digital Canon Rebel. I shot my first wedding in Cincinnati in 2008. Shortly after that NeriPhoto was born. Now I photograph brides and grooms all over the country. I book a limited number of weddings per year to provide my brides and grooms with an outstanding experience. I recently got married and had our daughter Ida.
I love art in any shape, color and size. I love early mornings, marinas and yellow roses. People inspire me.

"Neri helped us capture our day and worked with us beforehand so we knew what to expect and answered all of our questions. She was incredibly kind, professional, and went above and beyond for us. Neri met with us beforehand to see if we were a good fit, and was very communicative through the contract signing, engagement photos, and on the big day!"
My trip to Generations Resort in Riviera Maya with my 4-year-old was a perfect blend of relaxation and mother-daughter fun. It was a vacation filled with laughter, bonding, and unforgettable memories in a tropical paradise. Read full review.
