HELLO, I'M KIERA. Mom of three. Avid traveler. Tattoo enthusiast. Coffee addict. Always laughing. What do you do when you feel called to something, but don't know where to begin? Take a leap in crazy faith, and trust that you're right where He called you to be. Spending time behind the lens allows me to capture so many special memories, while also living in my purpose. I can't wait to have you become a part of this journey, and hope these are memories you will cherish for a lifetime. Let's make your 'remember when' moment.

Awarded Best of Zola
I can’t say enough wonderful things about Kiera! She has been our go-to photographer for all of life’s special moments—our wedding, maternity, newborn photos, and family portraits. Kiera is incredibly understanding, patient, and accommodating. Her attention to detail is unmatched, and she truly goes above and beyond to ensure her clients are happy. I just got married this past weekend and spent over seven hours with Kiera. Not only did she capture breathtaking photos, but she also helped keep the day running smoothly and put me at ease as a bride, which was invaluable! Her calming presence, friendly demeanor, and professionalism made everything feel effortless. One of the standout features of working with Kiera is the convenience of her online album. After each session, we get quick access to our photos, where we can easily view them and select our favorites. This allows us to have full control over the final selections, ensuring that we get the exact photos we want to have edited. I highly recommend Kiera to all my family and friends. Whether you’re in New Mexico or the surrounding areas, Kiera is the photographer you want. She even travels out of state! We are so grateful to have her and will continue trusting her with all our photography needs.

Vic was the best photographer my husband and I have ever worked with!!! We hired her for our wedding and she was so professional and fun to work with. My family, bridal party and guest loved her! Vic had us laughing the entire time and made us feel comfortable with posing and suggested us the best ideas too. After a week or 2 after the wedding we got our photos and they were breathtaking!! Most photos I didn’t realized she captured since she was so quick on her feet. It looks like there was 3 photographers since she got all angles from the ceremony, speeches, and dances. We are so impressed by how amazing she is. We highly recommend her to photograph any event you have and want to make sure everything is captured!

I started photography in 2017 and after being a part of many weddings, engagements, and family sessions, I still love what I do and I am deeply dedicated to serving my clients. I consider myself a storyteller and love capturing the little details, the half-smiles, and the simple motions. For me, it is about seeing the real, the lovely, and the messy moments, the everyday magic that tells the stories of our lives. Each wedding and session has its own unique story to tell and I challenge myself to capture those stories through my camera as best as I can and would be honored to capture yours too!

Awarded Best of Zola
We can’t express enough how incredible our experience with Eugene was and how perfectly he captured our wedding day. After Hurricane Helene, we had to change our venue and it was a little farther away from our original venue and Eugene made it happen and didn't want any extra travel fee or anything from us. On the wedding day he made us feel completely at ease in front of the camera and made sure no moment from our wedding went unnoticed. Not only is he an amazing photographer, but he’s also a fantastic person, and we truly hope our paths cross again in the future. We highly recommend planning your special day around when Eugene is available to document it—you won’t regret it!

Jeff and Jon did an incredible job with our wedding video! We had a destination wedding in Santa Fe and they did such a great job at capturing the day on video in a way that makes us feel like we're there again. Jon was there with us for the event and was pleasant to be around and very professional. He worked with our photographer on documenting our day. They had a very quick turnaround time of 2 weeks for editing and completing our videos. The music was based on our personalized selection. We had a very small ceremony so wanted to be able to share with those who couldn't make it and they did the best job we could imagine.

Hi, I’m Moss—photographer, filmmaker, and storyteller. I’ve been capturing weddings since 2011, with over 150 love stories told. My background in shooting snowboarding, climbing, and outdoor campaigns gives me an eye for movement, emotion, and natural light. I work mostly between Lake Tahoe and Northern New Mexico, bringing calm energy and a documentary style to every wedding I shoot. It’s an honor to tell your story in a way that feels real, timeless, and true.

Moss Halladay is the preeminent professional videographer and photographer. From the start, he developed our vision for the wedding video into an actionable game plan. He guided us through the unfamiliar world of videography in a way that made it feel natural. Between researching the site, the event, and the vibe, Moss came prepared to an unfamiliar venue he seamlessly blended into. An unexpected snow storm hit on the day of our wedding, and Moss quickly adapted. He captured how the wedding party reacted and made memorable drone shots of our celebration in the storm. Throughout the event, Moss was capturing the heart and soul of us as a couple and our guests. He was enthusiastic, instructive and brought out the best in others. In addition, Moss collaborated very well with our primary photographer and quickly integrated as a team unit when needed. After all was said and done at the event, Moss promptly got back to us with our final video, which he had graciously edited in our requests. Our friends and family, and ourselves too, still marvel at the high quality of his work. If you are looking for a responsive, personable and actionable professional for your videography or photography needs, Moss is your guy.

HEY! My name is Jade! I am a follower of Jesus Christ and He gave me this passion for photography. I’ve grown up and lived in New Mexico my whole life. I am stoked to be surrounded by the desert, the Rio Grande river, and various mountain ranges. I literally get to drive through and roam around these beautiful God-given landscapes to inspire the work I create. I believe that it is important that YOU choose to work with me because of who I am. What makes me different from the handful of other photographers you are considering? I care. From the moment you contact me, I am praying for you. What I love about being a photographer is

Long story short- Jade cares about YOU and this will be completely evident in her work. You won’t regret hiring her to capture one of the sweetest moments of your life. Your photos will last as long as your marriage-forever! Hire a professional to ensure every sweet moment is remembered for years to come. HIRE JADE. Because Jade cares about each of her couples you will see her professionalism, support, and amazing work on the day of your wedding. She was key to keeping our wedding on schedule, capturing our sweet candid moments, handling a huge crowd and crazy schedule (that never goes as planned), AND getting us our flawless prints very quickly after. This is someone who works hard and is in the business to use her skills for others. I truly felt she went above what we asked because she knows how precious these wedding photos are. We initially chose Jade because we loved her work. Her photos aren’t over edited and she has a range of creative shots. She provides photos of everything, from sweet bride and groom shots that capture the couples personalities to the shots of the little details that make your day special. I cannot recommend Jade enough! She was FANTASTIC (and her husband too!! Yes- hire both! the dream team)

Your wedding photographer should be a perfect mix of a fly-on-the-wall and a director. Not someone who’s going to yell cut during your ceremony or give you exact directions on how to deliver your vows, but someone who will guide you on this super important day and deliver the photos you’ve been dreaming of. Whether it’s through my specific formulas for creating ideal timelines or managing your family for hassle-free group photos, you’ll experience this direction throughout wedding planning (Pre-Production), your wedding day (Principal Photography), and delivery (Post-Production).

Maya Papaya Pictures was an absolutely amazing wedding photography team to work with. From the very beginning, Maya’s communication was outstanding, she was so on top of every detail, ensuring we had everything we needed and validating any worries or concerns we had along the way. Our wedding gallery exceeded every expectation, capturing our special day in the most beautiful and authentic way. Maya was not just a photographer, she was truly a lifesaver. She kept me calm and present amidst the stress and chaos, and somehow made my husband, who hates getting his picture taken, feel completely comfortable, relaxed, and even have fun with it! She also made sure that every special, sentimental moment we had carefully planned into our day was captured flawlessly. That means the world to us, especially now, as both of our grandmas have since become very sick. Maya preserved those moments with them so beautifully, and now we have those memories to cherish forever. Her presence and light were felt by everyone, and she became such a highlight of our day that we couldn’t imagine it without her. Honestly, if we could re-live our wedding over and over again, a huge reason would be because of Maya. Maya and her team were a blast to work with, they weren’t just behind the camera but right there with us, even hitting the dance floor and celebrating with our family, which remains one of our favorite memories. Guests still compliment us on how incredible our photographers were. Truly, Maya is so much more than just a wedding photographer, she curates the entire wedding experience. She is the ultimate wedding guru, guiding the day to flow in the best way possible. If you want your wedding to not only be beautifully documented but also to feel seamless, joyful, and stress-free, Maya is the only option. I wouldn’t change a single thing, and honestly, I would have wanted her there as a guest even without the camera, she is that wonderful!
