It is officially back-to-school season for the 2023-2024 school year! This time of year can bring up a lot of emotions. You might have a child starting school for the first time or one completing a huge milestone. School might be an absolute joy or a real challenge for your young one. Things might be […]

Green Extended Family Session | South Mesa Trailhead, Boulder

How do you feel when plans suddenly change? Are you someone who is flexible and go-with-the-flow, or do you become flustered and totally rattled? Let me tell you about what happened with this family and just why I love working with them. We were supposed to shoot at Red Rocks in Denver, but with the […]

Family

Colorado Springs Family Session | Garden of the Gods

One amazing aspect of being a family photographer is the opportunity to interact with people in various stages of life. From maternity sessions and newborn milestones to one-year photos, high school senior portraits, and even family sessions with grandparents—every moment is special! This particular session focused on a mother and her three beautiful children. This […]

Newborn

Peterson Family Newborn Session | Fort Collins, CO

When was the last time you held a newborn in your arms? Whether it was your own or even someone else’s, it’s hard not to notice the little details. The dimples in their tiny fingers, the little rolls on their arms, and the cutest toes you’ve ever seen (probably the only time we’d describe toes […]

Maternity

Agnello Family Maternity Session | Horsetooth Reservoir, Fort Collins, CO

The opportunity to serve clients again is truly the greatest compliment. I had the privilege of capturing their son’s cake smash back when he turned one-year-old, so when they requested that I be the one to capture their Agnello Family Maternity Session, I felt honored! This time we were able to get some pictures with […]

Family

Mehra Outdoor Family Session | South Mesa Trailhead in Boulder, CO

Kids are funny. As a family photographer, I have the privilege of capturing hundreds of families a year. I never quite know how the kids are going to act when put in front of a camera. (I bet the parents have this same thought as well!) A lot can ride on their mood, if they […]

Mini Session

South Denver Mini Sessions | Fly’n B Park in Highlands Ranch, CO

One of the things I aim to do for my clients beyond taking their pictures and delivering beautiful galleries is educating them on best photography practices. For example, one of the things I like to do is inform people on what to expect at the session, showcase what types of sessions I offer, and even […]

Family

Red Rocks Family Session | Red Rocks Open Space, Colorado Springs, CO

Summer seems to be flying by! It’s hard to believe that it is already July. I am in the midst of capturing families with nature’s beautiful summer backgrounds. This Red Rocks family session was taken by my associate, Danielle. If you are familiar with Colorado, you might be thinking of the famous Red Rocks located […]

Swaddled baby girl sleeping with a headband on with a white background for Conklin Family Newborn Session

Newborn

Conklin Family Newborn Session | Longmont, CO

Newborn sessions are in all actuality a fairly recent trend. I’m in my thirties and it wasn’t common for my mother’s generation to have a photographer come to your home and take a variety of pictures and poses captured in a cohesive style. While commemorative pictures were always taken, they needed to be developed to […]

O’Toole Outdoor Family Session | Fly’n B Park in Highlands Ranch, CO

What is your favorite aspect of outdoor photos? Mine is the optimal lighting. I also enjoy being able to use nature and incorporating that into memorable family photos. Having a variety of places to take pictures outside is something I love offering my clients, and recently I got the opportunity to shoot at a location […]

What should I look for when choosing a photographer?

One remarkable aspect of the photography industry is the abundance of options available to choose from. This can lead to two outcomes: 1) an array of choices that provide endless possibilities or 2) a sense of overwhelming confusion. You might find yourself pondering, “What should I look for when choosing a photographer?” It’s crucial to […]

Family

Lantzy Extended Family Session | Ya Ya Orchard in Longmont, CO

It is never easy to get 16 people together at the same time. Trying to match up schedules, jobs, school, and many other obligations is no easy task. In fact, it was a challenge that the Lantzy family faced, but they knew they needed to make it a priority. And they made it happen! The […]
