One of the many reason I love my job is simple: play. I get to play, and watch my clients play. So when I have a session with a family that has two boys I know, we’re gonna play hard. There’s no getting around it, you won’t get boys to sit still for...

I think it was her southern drawl that I first fell for. That and the fact that she gushed about my daughter Grace (she had been her teacher at summer arts camp at our church). Oh and her big, beautiful, absolutely genuine smile. Have I said enough? So when she first...

We celebrated this guy tonight. He turned 5. What is it about 5? It’s a tough one, a turning point. Not that Luke isn’t already ahead of the game. He’s so bright and ambitious. He’s already started reading and tries to spell everything....

I pray often for vision. I boldly pray for a miracle for Jared’s vision (he has lost most of it to a degenerative eye disease) but I also pray for a more metaphorical vision for my own life and the purpose of my photography. As a photographer I’ve already...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

Knowing that the pain is indescribable. Knowing it’s a marathon that no training can prepare you for. Knowing that there’s always at least one fearful moment. Knowing that ‘birth plan’ is an oxymoron. Somehow, despite knowing all of this, I...

No better way to come back from a ‘maternity leave’ than to jump right in and photograph a wedding. I am so excited to photograph Josh and Leah tomorrow as they take their own plunge and say ‘I do’. As I sit here trying to cool off on this near...

I was going to do this self portrait session yesterday, but I didn’t feel good. I was utterly exhausted and had zero motivation. I just felt…yuck. Last week I found out this baby boy was breech. And I’ve been in a funk ever since. I know it’s...

I can’t emphasize enough how much I love to photograph young families. Small children are just plain awesome, whether they love me or not they certainly keep me on my toes! One might say it’s even exhilarating. This gorgeous family was no exception. These...
