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 an absolute blast with the “F” family! Seriously – how cute is this family!? We shot around downtown Littleton on a day that was nice – and blustery. Yes, that actually happens here in Colorado. Here are a few of my faves.
Thank you for asking me to photograph your family! I had so much fun! You guys are the best!

A few weeks ago – we headed to Tabernash for a weekend away with Natalie and her family! We had so much fun – and thank Natalie tons for inviting us! It was a weekend full of relaxation and snow … Starbucks and the Fireplace. We each took turns cooking a meal, but in true Natalie fashion, she out did me!
Nat’s fondue was Ah-Ma-Zing … complete with lobster tails! She’s an amazing cook!
Then on Saturday we decided to do pseudo family sessions. It was snowing and freezing, but we had to do it! Parker got suited up in his bear outfit. Ava was really curious. Natalie grabbed this shot and I love it!
Natalie took amazing pictures of my family which you can see below. Then it was their turn:
I think this one is my fave 
I have some great shots from the snow ball fight that broke out – but I will only share a few
Thank you guys for such a fun weekend! We had a blast.

SO many favorites! I really had a hard time narrowing these down. Stay tuned for the Weddings Post
**Update – I had a total STRAWBERRY Blonde moment. I had some sessions on a different hard drive and found some more amazing and awesome couples from 2009 (engaged and expecting). Sorry for my brain delay. I am still blaming it on Mommy Brain. When can I stop claiming that? **.
A HUGE thanks to all of you who shared your love stories with me!! Hugs and Love – Karie

One of the best parts of my job is the relationships that I make with my clients. I really do love my clients … and I really do feel like I get the best ones in the whole entire world. I met Jen and Dion a LONG time ago. I shot their wedding in the early days of KMP. They have remained good friends of mine. I seriously heart Jen as she is one of the sweetest and most caring people I know. She remains a fan of my work, and my updates, and everything in between. I LOVE her support for KMP! A few months back, they asked me to take their maternity photos. They were expecting a beautiful baby girl, who has now ARRIVED! I am so very excited for them and their newest family member. Since I didn’t get a chance to blog this session with all of the wedding craziness, take a peek. Jen is one of the most beautiful pregnant people ever, and her and Dion’s love for each other promises to make them amazing parents. Addison was born on October 15th. Welcome to the world Addison. Jen and Dion – congratulations! I am so happy for you!!
A fave. Seriously should be a cover to a Parenting Magazine!
