These mountain family pictures were so much fun to capture! I’m always so honored to be able to capture families year by year and I was all the more excited when Katy opted to have their annual portraits taken up in the mountains this year. We not only had a most perfect Fall evening filled […]

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 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 have so loved getting to know their family better and we’ve discovered a shared love for board games (which […]

I haven’t gotten to see my friend Desiree since high school, so it was an extra pleasure to also meet her darling family! These guys have moved around like us, but made their way back to Castle Rock in recent years like ourselves. What a joy it was to reconnect and spend an evening with […]

I was so excited when Cassidy asked me to capture their beautiful family again after we had taken some fall pictures last October. I loved their fall portraits we took out at her family’s ranch in Kiowa, and I knew I’d love capturing them again in the beautiful Spring blossoms at Fly’n B Park! Cassidy […]

Well this post will be a lot shorter than my last one (my favorite images of 2017) because this post is a handful of bloopers from sessions this year! Every once in a while when I’m editing a session I find an image that automatically gets put in a folder for this post at the […]

There’s nothing like looking back at a year’s worth of your work, representative of so much – so many friendships made, so many sweet moments captured, and so many goals met! I had so much fun this week pouring through all my sessions starting way back in January through just a week ago. It was […]

We made our way back to the parking lot, through the Franktown fields and old farmhouse buildings–long standing vacant and quiet but beautiful in their history and age. The breeze gently blew across the fields, warmed by the plentiful sunshine. I walked along with Tanya, and watched on as John chased his baby girl through […]

It was there that Jordan and David shared their first kiss in the rain and parted ways not knowing if they would see each other again. And […]

Sekrit Theater was our first stop down in Austin for Jordan and David’s engagement session in Austin, TX! I was so surprised at how much space we had to work with – we didn’t even explore the whole area before we headed off to our second location. But talk about variety – greenhouse, fences, trees, […]

This mountaintop engagement had to be earned! Allison and Dan’s session had to be divided in two when the weather decided to roll fog in and take our mountain views. But it made the perfect timing for capturing both their three pets in one of their favorite walking spots and capturing them both on the […]
