FOR THE WILDLY ALIVE.

Wayward and Wild Photography captures the spirit of mountain adventurers, ocean lovers, old souls, free spirits, and beautifully chaotic families—those who want to preserve the magic of this moment forever. Based in Castle Rock, Colorado, we travel across the Front Range and beyond, following your story wherever it leads. We create cinematic, vibrant imagery filled with genuine connection and the moments that truly matter.

Undeniably you.

Family, motherhood, couples and elopements - across Colorado and beyond.

Here's how it actually goes: we get to know each other before I ever even pick up my camera. Then I direct - the whole way through - so you're never standing in a field wondering what to do with your hands.

I don't do generic. Not every family is the flowy-dress-in-a-mountain-valley session, and that's the entire point. I build the day around who you actually are: the inside jokes, the feral children who won't sit still, and the way your person looks at your when they think nobody's watching. With Wayward and Wild Photography, you are getting THEE experience from start to finish.

What you get back from your session looks undeniably you. Pinky promise.

Sierra

I believe in wonder. Whimsy. Adventure, even in the ordinary.

I have been doing this photography-gig since 2014.

Outside of photography? I am active-duty military, an emergency and trauma nurse, mom to two wildlings, Alani-Nu goblin, enneagram 8w7 (aka thee embodiment of chaos), wife, EDM listening, adventure chasing human who thinks sunny Sundays are the best days and that life is too short to not grab it by the short hairs and live every moment to its max.

The answer to traveling is always going to be yes. Want to climb that mountain top? Yas, let's do it! Want to frolic in the ocean? Okay, I'm there. Want to do off-the-wall sessions? Of course. Want me to barge in to your home for lifestyle? Helllurrrr, give me that address!

"Sierra is such a talented photographer. If you are looking to have some beautiful, vivid, colorful pictures done, you NEED TO book with her. She made us feel so comfortable and our photos turned out absolutely stunning. Not to mention, she will style your entire family (her clothes selection is gorgeous!), tell you how to pose, capture authentic laughs and genuine smiles. This was by far the best experience we have ever had with getting pictures taken."
