Platte River Fort Family Photos

Platte River Fort is one of my favorite locations hands down for family photos! (and every type of photo) Last October I met with the Steuben Family and we explored all Platte River Fort had to offer…and boy I was blown away! Not only did we have our own tour guide that took us to...

Weld County Adoption Photos

Christmas Eve was extra special for the Williams Family…after 3 years of the back and forth, the three youngest children officially became a part of the family. Allison and I have been friends though-out those 3 years, and have had countless conversations over coffee about those three special kiddos. So when Allison asked me to...

Greeley Family Photoshoot

You might recognize this family! 3 year ago I photographed their family in Boulder, Colorado and this last fall we met up again a little closer to home! 3 years was just too long, I absolutely love photographing these guys… we just end up goofing around!

Loveland CO Couple Session

I met up with Leasa + Hayden at River’s Edge Natural Area in Loveland CO for a sweet couple session. They are parents to three sweet kiddos and don’t get photos together that often, so they took a moment just for themselves. There is something I really love about photographing couples that have been married...

Boulder Family Session

I have a confession. I’ve lived in Colorado for over 2 years, but this session was my first family session in this beautiful state. Crazy, right? I’ve photographed numerous couples, weddings, events…but no family sessions. While I’m traveling I book family sessions quite often, but never in my home town. So when I met Jeanette...

Joshua Tree National Park Couple Session – Kyle + Kirsten

During a week long trip to Joshua Tree, I had the pleasure of photographing a few sweet couples at Heck Yeah Photo Camp. One afternoon they put together styled couples for us to photograph and try out the tips we have learned. With only 3 couples and over 100 photographers it was a challenge to say the least. (They had 4 fashion models as well – but lets be real, I love photographing love)

 For me, I just wanted the couples to feel comfortable and loved. It’s scary to get your photo taken, let alone have 20+ photographers surrounding you and most of them only able to take the lead for 1 minutes at a time. For the few minutes I had with each couple, they made magic happen. Thank you Kyle + Kirsten for opening up, not being afraid to show a little love to your other half, and Kirsten…I want that coat. 🙂

Kate + Cory – Loveland Pass Anniversary Session – Dillon, Colorado

Last week, Kate and her Husband, Cory joined me in Dillon, Colorado for a drink and snow portraits. While I’m “new” to Colorado, I feel like I’ve been one with the snow for years. Weird, right? Well for the last two years I’ve spent most of the Spring/Summer/Fall months traveling around the US, so most of my experience with Colorado is with a foot of snow on the ground. You tend to learn quickly how to layer and to always keep gloves and a hat in your jacket.  California family, it’s not that bad, really. I would take snow over 110 degree summers ANY day! Plus, sweater weather. I never actually knew what sweaters were for living in Southern California…and now I own enough for a small village. 😉 

Kate + Cory eloped 5.5 years ago, and 4 years ago on New Years Eve they partied with their closest friends and family. But a blizzard got in the way of them having any outside photos of the two of them, so this winter they decided to change that! We explored Lake Dillon for a short time and then drove up the Loveland Pass to finish the session with a beautiful snow storm going on around us. They were amazing in the freezing temperatures and hid their hand-warmers well!

Carly + Zack – 1 Year Anniversary Session – Bishops Peak Couple Session – San Luis Obispo, California

A year ago today, Carly + Zack tied the knot at Disneyland. It was such a fun day filled with the sparkly bridesmaid dresses, happy family, friends that partied so hard the roof actually fell down (really), and riding Disney Park rides at 2am. We even had an empty Disney Castle for couple photos….where I shot one of my favorite photos ever. It was a day I will never forget and feel so lucky to have been a part of it.

So when Carly contacted me about doing anniversary photos in San Luis Obispo a few weeks ago, I jumped at the idea. A little hiking at sunrise? Down. It was such a unique experience and I’m blown away by my couples ability to pick amazing locations!

Congrats you guys, and I can’t wait to help you guys capture every year from here on out! <3
