Tween Portraits (Don’t wait until she’s a Senior!)
There's those milestones in life that we are all really good at documenting. Newborn. First steps. First teeth lost. Getting on the bus to school. And then somehow...as our children start to grow, time seems to speed up and before you know it we are booking a Senior...
Levi Paul Turns One
He's a happy baby. He's a Momma's boy. He's into EVERYthing (and clearly has a Faris appetite) And this past Sunday, this sweet, sweet boy turned one. Le sigh. We call him bear. Sometimes bear bear. Sooooo... His pudgy hands. Sister finally helped him understand it...
I could get used to this… (Northern California Family Session)
Oh California, you and your hypnotic coastline...can I just stay a little longer? Needless to say I enjoyed my visit to Northern California. Even more than my surroundings, I enjoyed being a part of a photography workshop that forever changed the way I run my...
You Had Me at Pescadero (Northern Cali Family Session)
I happen to live in a state that just gives and gives when it comes to incredible locations for photo shoots. Colorado is breathtaking. However, as a creative, it's always exciting to find yourself in a new environment, inspired by new surroundings. Having the...
Northern California Family Session
This year I made the conscious decision to push myself. I want to grow so that I can provide the best possible experience and end product for my clients while simultaneously fueling my passion. I had the incredible pleasure of attending a workshop last week...
Want to become a better photographer? Here’s one guaranteed way.
Last year I had family photos taken. Finally. (***All photo credits for this post belong to My Four Hens Photography) I was the cobbler with holes in his shoes. Yes, I take photos of my family almost daily but it had been 7 years since I had had a full professional...
Colorado Springs Family Session
I did not grow up surrounded by cousins. Mine were on opposite coasts and I got to see them maybe once every couple of years or so. While I love that my parents chose to move to and raise their family in this gorgeous state of Colorado, I definitely longed to have...
Levi Paul (an at home newborn photo shoot)
I remember the night that we decided: one more baby. Over a glass of wine, on a date at our favorite Indian restaurant I finally verbalized what had been swimming around in my head...should we or shouldn't we? I can honestly say I didn't really want to be pregnant...
Willow Park (Colorado Fall Family Photos)
I love when a client brings me to a new location and this one certainly didn't disappoint. A beautiful walk. With plenty of room to roam This family is so sweet. I first photographed them two years ago when this baby girl was still drooling!! The golden hour at it's...
Eve and Alex
These two. They each have a little bit of their momma in them. We've been friends for (gasp) almost 2 decades? (Yes, we met as small children...Ahem). Anyway, these two gorgeous babes of hers...I just love them to pieces. And that hair, how is he not MY child??? He's...
Josh and Leah – Married
These two. Truly, madly, deeply...and so sweet. Married at The Barn at Raccoon Creek, this summer day could not have been more beautiful. Every detail so thoughtfully considered. I was honored to capture their day and as my first big job after maternity leave I can't...
You Got This Buddy
As a second grader, she's an old pro. The 1st day of the 1st week of school started by taking this sweet girl to her bus stop. She posed with her friends... Climbed on the bus and off she went. (Don't ask what could possibly be weighing down her...
