When I first met Nicole and her beautiful family a few years ago, she was still pregnant with her baby boy. Time never seems to slow down, and now her sweet boy is a toddler in full force! I’ve always admired Nicole’s many talents being a momma to two littles, being a working mother, an […]

I remember meeting Andrea for the first time at our church’s women’s Bible study on a Tuesday morning. Her sweet demeanor and kindness was so welcoming, and I especially remember being impressed when she invited our whole group of ladies and their kids (a good thirty of us or so!) to her home for lunch […]

Its been almost four years since we moved back to Colorado from Virginia, and I knew just as soon as we knew where we would be living that I wanted to connect with other moms in our local MOPS group. It has been such an amazing place to meet other women, be encouraged by new […]

As a Colorado family photographer, whenever I hear someone tell me they’ve never had family pictures taken (or at least professional family pictures) I take it on as a challenge! Its almost like I’m subconsciously saying, “Let me show you how fun and awesome this could be!” For many,  family pictures have a negative connotation […]

The sun was setting in a beautiful sky and giving us the most amazing glow across the countryside fields in Parker. It was the perfect evening to capture some maternity pictures! Greg is the youth pastor at our church and his gorgeous wife, Monet, is a sweet friend! I got to capture their family pictures […]

And on this particular evening we had an amazing sunset to go with it (minus a few mosquitos) plus the most beautiful momma to […]

I was so excited when Melissa and her family signed up for my summer mini sessions to get family pictures not only because its always such an honor to have families I’ve captured return for pictures again, but also because I knew I was a much more experienced photographer than I was three years ago […]

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 […]
