My style is very couture, fresh, and fun. In other words, these aren’t your parent’s wedding photographs. I strive to capture my couples as who they are, how they love one another, and tell the story of love. I want a couple's pictures to be a reflection of them. I am inspired by fashion, which allows me to capture my clients in a way that is unique and editorial.
Please browse my boudoir gallery as well. These photos are a great gift for your Man anytime, or as a special surprise gift on your wedding day, Valentine’s Day, or any day. These sessions are classy and modern. Your someone special, will love them.
I have had the opportunity to work with Colorado's top wedding planners, resorts, videographers, DJ's, and venues.

I had so much fun going through the images of this weekends Shot Spot (that’s our version of the Photo Booth). Nicole and Garin’s guests just BROUGHT IT (all 350 of them). We had so much fun. Stay tuned for more from Nicole and Garin’s fabulous wedding.

Natalie and I have been working really hard at this seasons weddings … and the truth is, we NEVER get to have some fun of our own in our Shot Spot Booth. So, here’s a few shots from our own Photo Booth. Our next booth is at Nicole and Garin’s wedding this weekend, so stay tuned next week for more fun! If you want to add the SHOT SPOT Photobooth to your wedding … give us a shout. Seriously … they are SO much fun!
As you can see, we are a family divided. My daughter really isn’t a Chiefs fan, but sadly, my husband is
P’s Fish Face. I love him!

O’shea is a senior this year and has an awesome urban style! He is a skateboarder … and brought his board along to show me a few tricks. We marched around downtown and found some awesome urban locations to match his style. O’Shea, have an awesome Senior Year! It goes by so fast!
We found this awesome Cellar … Love this shot!

Quick note, I swear flavorful Fridays will continue. Truth is, we have been so busy, I couldn’t wait to share another awesome wedding.
It was spitting rain that morning. I tried doing my rain dance, but that didn’t seem to work. The weather was fresh … to some … a little chilly, but the scenery was the same. Beautiful Colorado Sara and Scott were married at Devils Thumb Ranch. It is hands down one of my favorite places to shoot in Colorado. It is beautiful! Sara’s dress was so amazing. One of my faves ever! Scott looked dashing with his guys in their tuxes … and all of the family traveled in from Kansas to witness the big day.
The rain held back our ceremony just a tad. It was moved indoors which turned out beautiful as well! Thankfully, after the ceremony, the rain cleared up and we had amazing light for some photographs. After, Sara and Scott danced the night away … literally … like they didn’t ever sit down to catch their breaths. Cheers to an amazing day filled with laughter, family, and love! Sara and Scott- hope you are enjoying Mexico! Thank you for sharing your day with us! Natalie and I had such an AMAZING time!!
The girls got ready with Zen Mobile Spa … they did an amazing job! I LOVE the cabins at Devils Thumb. We had so much fun catching the girls getting ready!
My FAB assistant Natalie grabbed this shot of the Groomsmen! Work it out boys!
One of my favorite shoe shots to date
Due to the rain, the ceremony was indoors. The barn doors were opened. The result … AMAZING!
The beautiful couple with some of my favorite scenery in Colorado!
Sara, you are so BEAUTIFUL!
Natalie caught this shot while I was working with Sara and Scott. Love this one! Scott has ups!

I have been talking to Nicole for what seems like forever now (really it’s been about a year). She and Garin live in Kansas City … which most of you know, is where I grew up before moving here 5 years ago. She told me about her and Garin, how they met, and about their amazing wedding day. I knew we were a match. Since, we have talked over email, and the phone, planning and organizing their big day. But, this was the first time I actually got to meet them in person! Let me just say … I am SO excited for their wedding this month. It’s such a small world … and come to find out, we knew a lot of the same places around Kansas City. It brings back some great memories The way Garin looks at Nicole is priceless. These two have a special kind of love. One I can’t wait to capture later this month on their wedding day. It’s going to be SUPER!
Nicole and Garin – Thank you for coming out for your engagement session. I am so stoked for your wedding day! Hugs! - ME
Found these stairs. Loved them.
A fave. You two are so cute!
Nicole, Are you kidding me? Ga-Ga-Gorgeous!
I think this one needs to be on canvas. LOVE it!
And this one too
