This session was such a fun and meaningful one to capture. Watching this sweet girl twirl around in her mom's wedding dress made for such a special full-circle moment and a memory they'll cherish forever.

One of my favorite things about being a photographer is helping families bring their unique ideas and visions to life. Whether it's incorporating a sentimental piece, celebrating a milestone, or recreating a special memory, those personal touches are what make your photos truly unforgettable.

If you've been dreaming up a session idea, don't hesitate to share it with me. I absolutely love helping families create something that feels authentic, meaningful, and uniquely yours.

These are the moments that deserve to be documented—the little details, the family stories, and the memories that will be passed down for generations to come. ✨

Red Rocks never disappoints. It was so good to be back at this location with this sweet family!

The weather has been beautiful lately, which means outdoor session season is officially here. I can't wait to photograph more families at one of Colorado's most stunning locations. Between the incredible red rock formations, mountain views, and gorgeous golden light, it's easy to see why this is one of my favorite places for family photos.

If you've been thinking about booking a family, maternity, or couples session, now is the perfect time to get on the calendar before fall arrives.

The sweetest cake smash for this little girl's first birthday! 🎂✨

One of the things I love most about cake smash sessions is that it's often the very first time your sweet baby gets to taste cake. Watching their reactions, whether they dive right in or cautiously take that first bite, is always so much fun!

If you're interested in a cake smash session in the studio, I'd love to help you plan one. We can make it a standalone session or include it as part of your family session for even more memories. As a bonus, the studio has a kitchen, which makes cleanup quick and easy after all the frosting filled fun!

Reach out to book your session. I can't wait to celebrate with you! 🤍

Nothing beats when the local wildlife (🦌) decides to join your session!

Seeing these deer wander through the background was such a fun surprise, and I’m so glad we were able to capture them in a few photos! Moments like this are one of the reasons I love shooting outdoors. You can plan for beautiful light and gorgeous scenery, but sometimes nature gives you a little extra magic you could never have expected.

Definitely one of the perks of outdoor sessions over the studio if you ask me 😉

Did you know I don't only offer studio newborn sessions?

If you'd rather stay in the comfort of your own home, I'm more than happy to come to you. There is something so special about documenting this season in the place where it is actually happening. Not only do we get to capture your family as you are right now, but we also get to preserve all of those little details that make this chapter unique—your baby's nursery, the rocking chair where countless snuggles happen, tiny details you've spent months preparing, and the home where your newest memories are being made.

In-home newborn sessions have such a personal, storytelling feel to them, and they often become some of the most meaningful images to look back on years later.

If you're expecting, be sure to reach out sooner rather than later! I only take on 4 newborn sessions each month to ensure every family receives the best possible experience.

One thing I hear all the time is, "I don't know how you'll manage all of us!" 😂

But honestly, I love big families. The energy, the personalities, the chaos, the laughter—it all makes for such fun and meaningful photos. Whether you're a family of three or a family of ten, my goal is always the same: create beautiful images while making the experience feel easy and enjoyable for everyone.

I also love being able to capture so many different combinations during a session—siblings together, individual photos of the kids, mom and dad together, and of course plenty of images of the whole family. The more people, the more memories we get to preserve.

My garden mini sessions are the perfect opportunity for families this summer! They're held in an easy-to-get-to location with plenty of room for little ones to run, explore, and be themselves, while still providing a gorgeous backdrop filled with beautiful blooms for timeless family photos.

I know I probably say this every time… but I truly love studio sessions so much 🤍 There’s something about slowing everything down, soaking in the little moments, and creating images that feel simple and timeless. No distractions, no pressure — just your family exactly as you are.

I also love how versatile studio sessions can be. We can focus on the whole family, get sweet individual photos of the kids, updated parent photos, sibling moments, or honestly a little bit of everything all in one session. They always end up feeling so cozy, relaxed, and meaningful to me.
