As I pulled up to the Castle Rock open space where we were taking family pictures, the tall grassy meadows immediately caught my eye. They were waving, glistening, really, in the wind as the sun was slowly beginning to set. “Amber waves of grain” started to catch on in my head and I was so […]

For a long while now I’ve been wanting to try out film again. The last time I played with film photography was back in high school (*cough, ahem, like 15 years ago) and back then it was all black and white. I learned how to use a camera using film, and not only that we […]

I often forget to tell my clients as we start out on a session that the first 10-15 minutes of a session are always going to feel a little awkward as they get used to being in front of the camera. Then as those minutes go by, they always begin to relax and it doesn’t […]

Finding the magic of gorgeous light is something I’m always on the lookout for as a photographer. It takes my pictures from something good to something amazing, and on this particular Spring afternoon we found it! I just love the way the light gently reflects of the budding trees and bushes and fills the space […]

As I waved to the DeWeese family in the parking lot as they piled out for their family pictures, I was first struck at how much their three handsome boys had grown in the last year! I had the privilege of capturing them all exactly a year ago (you can see their blog post from […]

Spring family pictures in the warm Colorado sun? Yes please! Watching the world turn green around me as the weather slowly warms up just makes my heart so glad.

I love that being a family photographer means I get to hang out not only with some amazing other moms, but I get to meet their sweet families, too. And families really become an extension of ourselves, especially as I think of moms and dads pouring into their little’s lives as they grow. There is […]

I got to photograph in one of my favorite spots this past weekend – 17 Mile House Farm Park! Not only did we have the perfect, most beautiful evening light but the most darling family to capture, too! I just loved the colors of the Fall that still remained and the Heyn family picked beautiful […]

We got to connect with the Coert family through our church with my husband, Abe, and Matt playing in band together. And Julie and I got to serve alongside each other in our children’s ministry. We have so loved getting to know their family better and we’ve discovered a shared love for board games (which […]
