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’m exhausted today {We can call it a creative overload} – but incredibly blessed to have the job that I have, the clients that I have, and do what I love so much. You hear me say this a lot – but it’s so true! Here is a sneak peek of some things to come!

To me … Love is a lot of things. It’s a Mother or Father, best friend, brother, ice cream, Cherry Coke Zero, Polaroids, or my iPhone. But it all starts innocently. I sometimes wish that I could see the world from my daughter’s eyes. She is so charasmatic and open to everything! The smallest things are an experience for her! I am forever greatful for the things that she makes me cherish. A best friend is one. From the magical golden Colorado Sunlight, to the tall grass blowing in the breeze … this shoot brings me back to reality.
My beautiful little daughter had a friend in town the past few days. Today was her first day without him. Let’s just say, she thinks life was better just a few days ago … as she held her best friend’s hand

I’m a determined person. Like really determined. I am that girl you see on Undercover Boss who is married to their job. Not because I really want to be married to my job (Lord knows I love my husband to PIECES), but because I really really love my job. I’m the girl that can’t wait to respond to emails, or see what is happening with my peers through their own personal blogs. I want to grow. I never want to become stagnant. I push myself. Hard. Harder than any one person should. And quite possibly, these are the things that make me love my business the most. I am determined.
I had the opportunity last week to go to Making Things Happen Tour that was in Denver. I’m a huge fan of Southern Weddings Magazine – and because of that, I have become a huge fan of Lara Casey (the editor). Her blog is uber inspiring and always a lift in the midst of a busy business life! I learned a lot about the fire that is within – and just how to push yourself to become more productive, and grow. Jeff Holt is a fantastic photographer who shared his story, tips, determination and more. Overall, the day was pretty amazing for me. The workshop wasn’t really about business or taking good pictures – it was about your own personal growth and potential, which is something I don’t spend a lot of time thinking about.
A huge thanks to those of you who I learned from and shared with at MTH2010 in Denver. There’s a lot of reasons why I want to do things and do them well – and here’s my biggest one (from St. Patrick’s Day with my point and shoot)

I have had a truly amazing day which I definitely promise to share more about soon … but until then, I wanted to share the interview about yours truly {blush} that was featured yesterday (March 11th) on Couture Colorado. Couture Colorado is an awesomely chic blog to plan a Colorado Specific wedding. You should definitely check it out if you are looking for one of a kind, Colorado inspiration!
P.S. I’m a little bashful – and just knowing that you might look makes me blush. Truly. :)

I love Colorado. I just do. I knew it from the very first time I came here. Matt had an internship here when we were in College. When I came to visit … it was like love at first site. We picked up our lives and moved here straight out of college, just married, and set up shop. I wouldn’t change a thing. We love the outdoors. We LOVE the mountains. Two weeks ago we headed up to Keystone for a day of skiing (and Matt Boarding). This is what I caught with my iPhone on the way home. I really want to frame this one.
I’ll be out of the office today at a workshop – but will be back tomorrow! Happy Thursday!
