What Love Looks Like

For awhile, I had to keep this beautiful family all to myself. At the time of the session, the adoption of this sweet boy wasn’t yet final and for privacy purposes these pics were for their eyes only.  I’m thrilled to announce however, that this family has...

Kicking off Fall Season…

by | Sep 15, 2017 | All Posts, Photoblog | 14 comments

No better way to kick off the fall photo season than with friends who feel like family. I’ve done several in home sessions for the littlest of the bunch this past year, so it was time to get dad in the pics and take it outdoors in this stunning Colorado Springs...

Be Brave, Be Kind, Have Fun

We had the MOST fun summer. We traveled, played, did camps, played, relaxed, played… But there DOES come a point when the walls seem to start closing in and suddenly everyone’s over everyone and for us that literally happens the week before school starts....

Why You Want To Be 3 Again…

Energy. 3 year olds have endless amounts of it. It seems to multiply AS it’s being spent. It’s inspiring and I WANT IT! But I suppose I’ll just have to settle for chasing it around and capturing it’s beauty. Miss Stella was an absolute joy to...

Senior Session in the Aspens

I have known this beautiful girl’s momma for many years. I was incredibly honored when she hired me to photograph Ally’s senior pictures and we has such a blast while doing it!  This session is actually from LAST YEAR (I know I know) so Ally is currently...

Summer Vacation

It’s day 6 of our 11 day vacation. We’ve traveled far in just about every mode of transportation I can think of. We’ve eaten well, slept in, done just the perfect amount of ‘touristy’ things, fought, laughed hard, lived in pj’s and...

Levi Paul turns 2

This boy. Where do I begin? Hi smile. It starts there. His smile puts a spell on you…I’m pretty sure there’s 3 dimples there but I can’t be positive because I can’t stop staring at his eyes. They’re dark as night but somehow they...

Don’t forget the boys…

I feel like guys kinds get the short end of the stick when it comes to Senior photos.  Social media is flooded with incredible pictures of girls but when it comes to the boys…crickets. For me these sessions have their own set of awesomeness. Especially when you...

Fun in the Sun

Have you heard of Park Hill Design? I remember the first time I laid eyes on Meridythe’s work at a market. If I remember correctly, my jaw hung open the entire time I combed through the racks looking at the most beautiful and unique children’s clothing...

Jack Dillon turns 7

He loves green olives, and dried seaweed…but can’t stand bacon. He plays and fights with equal passion with his big sister and little brother. And the littlest brother? He can do no wrong. He’s got Jack wrapped around his little finger… He...

What dream clients look like

by | Apr 13, 2017 | All Posts, Photoblog | 9 comments

I literally sat and stared at the computer for a good few minutes trying to come up with the perfect title for this shoot. I thought about how much I loved that this family chose a location that was important to them yet trusted me enough to execute the vision. I...

Let’s pause for a moment

You could say we have grown up together in our adult lives. We met as unmarried women and lived our single lives to the fullest. We married and bought homes. We had our first babies…and then more…and now this beautiful boy completes the baby making phase....

Love in the mountains

We might be a little spoiled here in Colorado.  Even if you live in the Denver Metro Area it’s just a short drive to get to locations like this one (Meyer Ranch) that take your breath away (literally take it away when you make your poor clients...

Playing in the woods

Four sisters. Each beautiful and full of life. These girls are my family by marriage and I have been enamored of them from the moment I met them. Each time we pull up to a family gathering they walk out the front door and scoop up my babies as though they are their...

High on love

These two. During any type of session (but particularly with couples) I often give prompts to get them to connect because it’s natural to be a little nervous in front of the camera. Not these two. I think I literally could have gotten in the car to go back down...

Hangin’ with the boys

The anticipation I feel when I get to do a newborn session…there’s nothing else quite like it. This particular session was special because I’ve been photographing this newbie’s big brother since he was just a tiny babe. So of course we had to...

To Rise

Dear Grace, You turned 9 this past weekend. That, apparently, qualifies you as a tween (shaking my head in disbelief). There’s certainly that ever present parental sadness that the time goes by so quickly, but I can honestly say I love every stage of motherhood...
