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.

Let’s be honest, this Spring in Colorado is ridiculous! It’s snowed, rained, thunder snowed, hailed, blown … and it has postponed a handful of shoots. So – Natalie and I decided to go and have some fun without the sun 
Here’s a few of my faves of Natalie.

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!

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!
And he show me some tricks …

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

I heart this family! I met Mary-Anne when I did a session for her a few years ago. Since, she has had a son, about the same age as my daughter, and we also did a newborn session with him. Over all of this time, she has told me how beautifully in love with her husband she is, and what an amazing man she married. Seriously, Mary-Anne beams when she talks about her family. Her husband was serving in the Army and was deployed for about a year. I haven’t ever had the opportunity to meet him … until this session. I had SO much fun rocking out these family pictures downtown with their amazing family! I am so happy for them to all be reunited! It was so nice to finally meet the entire family!
I personally thanked Jeremiah for serving for our country … and I’ll do it again! Thank you so much for doing what you do! Mary-Anne and Ethan … You have so much courage and strength, and I totally admire this!
I heart this next image … a LOT!
I also snapped a few of Mary-Anne and Jeremiah. They are so adorable together!
I love this next picture! I think it is my fave! I want one of my family like this to hang above the fireplace!
Thank you guys so much for sharing your time with me! I LOVE your family! BIG hugs to all of you!
