Weddings were my foundation. In 2014, I began photographing women in a different way — indoors, outdoors, in studios, along rivers, in washes, and wherever the story led me. Then a bride asked me to create an intimate album for her husband before their wedding day. That session stayed with me. I never stopped.
Since then, weddings and women’s portraits have both become a part of my work — two worlds I love equally, each allowing me to tell stories in their own way.
Wild Sol Collective grew from that passion. From my private studio in Willcox, I create intentional experiences for women who are drawn to something different. Quiet, personal, and one-on-one every time.
MORE THAN A PHOTOGRAPHER
I've been a licensed stylist since 2006, long before Wild Sol existed. Hair and makeup have always been part of my work, and I still do both for my own sessions.
That means you aren't being handed off to someone else before you step in front of my camera. I handle the entire experience, from hair and makeup to the sets, direction, and photographs.
I see you before you see yourself.
I'm Anita. This Is My Work, My Passion, My Purpose.

I was born and raised in Tucson and have lived in Arizona my entire life, aside from a few years away. No matter where I went, I always found my way back to the desert. There is something about this place that has always pulled me in — the history, the quiet, the wide-open stretches of land between somewhere and somewhere else.
This is the world I create in.
My husband helped bring the bones of this studio to life, but every detail from the design to the atmosphere was created by me. From the layout and finishes to the spaces where each experience unfolds, this studio was built with intention.
Located in Willcox, surrounded by the landscapes and stories that inspire my work, this place is not just where I photograph. It is part of the experience itself.

My Approach
Art ignited something in me early on, the ability to see beauty in what's already there without needing to change it. That led me to boudoir photography, where I could work with women in a way that felt honest and grounded.
Each session is deeply personal. I'm documenting vulnerability and strength as they naturally exist, creating portraits that hold weight because they're real. This work allows me to show women what I see and what was there all along.
Each session is a chance to create timeless portraits that hold onto what's real, strength, softness, and everything in between.
Where Art meets Emotion
I didn’t plan on boudoir. A bride changed that.
Weddings were my foundation — I started photographing women in 2015, indoors, outdoors, studios, rivers, washes, wherever the work took me. Then a bride asked me to shoot an intimate album for her husband before their wedding. That session stayed with me. I never stopped.
Weddings and women’s portraits have been mine ever since, both of them, equally.
My why is rooted in my own journey toward self-acceptance. I know how life-changing it can be to embrace not just your body, but your whole self. That experience shaped the way I photograph women and the way I approach this work.
Wild Sol Collective was created to offer something different. Through intentional sets, unique concepts, and a vision all my own, I create experiences where women can be photographed honestly, without performance or pressure.
This work is about more than photography. It’s about showing you what was already there.

I believe women deserve to be photographed honestly, without having to perform, pose, or become someone else for the camera.
I built Wild Sol to create that space. Private, calm, and completely intentional. A place where you can step into the experience as yourself.
When you’re ready, I’m here.
