I'm a lover of color, family, love, laughter + sunshine.

 

I also live on coffee + tacos, but what mom of toddlers doesn't?1

Rebecca + James – Nelson Ghost Town Elopement – Nelson, Nevada

I love elopements. Something about them pulls at the heartstrings…and when a sparkly dress is thrown in the mix I kinda go nuts. Rebecca + James have known each other for over 12 years, and knew they wanted to make their wedding day a private, personal ceremony. Other than the officiant (she’s fantastic btw), I...

Laura + Jake – Green Gables Estate – San Marcos, California

Laura + Jake’s wedding was my first wedding of 2015! Their wedding day was such a relaxed event, surrounded by friends and family at Green Gables Wedding Estate in San Marcos. Surrounded by so much lush green, it made the extra warm day seem just a little cooler. Congratulations you two!   Venue: Green Gables Wedding Estate | Flowers: Flowers...

Heidi + Jason – Engagement Session – San Juan Capistrano, California

Heidi + Jason choose one of my favorite spots in Southern California for their engagement session; the beautiful San Juan Capistrano Mission. Not only does this spot provide soooo many cool and unique backdrops/textures, but it’s down the road from a flower field! Heidi and Jason are getting married this September in Oceanside and I’m so excited to see...

Ashley + Kevin – Snowy Stardust Inspirational Wedding Shoot – Fort Collins, Colorado

What can I say? This styled shoot was a good reminder that Colorado offers a type of beauty and community that I’m so lucky to be a part of. The theme of this shoot was simple: space, stars, romance, and organic simplicity. Like always, I try to put together styled inspirational shoots that everyone could...

A look back: 2014

2014…what can I say. It was a crazy good year. I became a wife, photographed 34 weddings, traveled to 2 countries, 10+ states, and packed up and moved to Colorado with my husband + two cats that I think would be much happier plotting world domination. Thank you. Thank you for letting me into your lives...

Stori + Patrick – Couple Session – Greeley, Colorado

Stori + Patrick actually met in Greeley years ago! They were both going to UNC and after I heard that I loved the fact that we decided to have a mini session just down the road from my house! This little trail is so different every time I visit! I hope to photograph it every...

Mya + Casey – Couple Maternity Session – Mount Palomar

Mya + Casey might look familiar, and that’s because they are pro’s when it comes to being in front of my camera. Years (and years) ago, I photographed their wedding, and since then I’ve been waiting for the time to get to photograph them again! Lucky for me they are expecting their first child in...

Jess + Eric – Couple Session – Mount Falcon, Colorado

Jess owns a photography business in Denver, CO, and Eric pulls at the heartstrings working for a local non-profit feeding people in need. And together, they are the type of couple that brings a huge smile to my face. We spent the afternoon exploring a new spot for me, Mount Falcon in Colorado…and boy it...

Valerie + Kellen – Engagement Session – San Diego, California

So I absolutely LOVE making an engagement session unique to a couple. Bringing in little things that mean a lot, or picking a location that is a part of a couple’s history. It’s so much more meaningful than just pulling a photo off a Pinterest to re-create. Don’t get me wrong, I even use the never-ending-scroll...

Colorado Winter Inspirational Bridal Session – Northern Colorado Wedding Photographer

For those that may not know, snow if completely new to me. Growing up in sunny Southern California I went a whole 22+ years before seeing snow fall in person. I know, crazy. After moving to Colorado last year with my husband I knew that I was going to be running around like a 5...
