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 have known Ashli for quite some time … and I think she is stunning. I had such a blast roaming around a big open space with these two!
Ashli – seriously!? Are you kidding me? You are so gorgeous!
Thank you guys for sharing a day with me – you are such an awesome couple (and man did we have some fun)!?
P.S. The awesome hair piece that Ashli is wearing was made by my friend’s at Posh Rebel. I’m in love – and actually ended up buying it for myself

For today’s Flavorful Friday post, I wanted to share a sneak peek from a session I did of my daughter recently. She is growing so fast, and I love her more than words. There are a lot more of these to come … but here are a few of my faves. Stay tuned Monday for some EXCITING News!
Just a few while we were out playing!
She wanted to get stuck in the one little patch of snow we had. She did (over and over again).
Some of my super faves from January! LOVE her

You may remember Jenny and Leviy as they are our 2010 contest winners. I have talked to Jenny over the past few months, but had yet to meet her, until their engagement session. I should note that I feel like I already know this incredible couple since I know their love story, and have truly enjoyed learning about them.
Jenny is kind, sweet, loving, and gorgeous. Leviy is funny, hilarious, and just awesome. Together, the two of them are absolutely amazing and a ton of fun! It was a frigid day as we walked around Garden of the Gods (which was packed) and then we headed for some more alleys and architecture digs. I had a blast with them {and their SUPER cute pups}.
Seriously, who can resist these faces?
A super fave! Love, Love, Love this one! What a cute fam!
Love this, love you guys, so much fun!
Jenny – you are beautiful! And, you know I love leopard shoes!
A super fave series. Jenny and Leviy met at the gym, and love to work out. I had to incorporate that in to the shoot somewhere. I told Leviy to do push ups over Jenny!
Thank you guys for sharing your story with me! I can’t wait for your wedding this year! Huge Hugs.
P.S. Jenny made me the most awesome gingerbread men cookies I have ever seen. Pictures coming soon!

Happy New Year everyone. I am so excited for 2010. Really. I hope everyone had an amazing time kissing 2009 goodbye. Today, I am cuddled up with some of my favorite stuff (editing), and I am getting ready to go to an engagement shoot this afternoon. If I had to say, it’s a pretty stinking awesome way to welcome the new year. Here is a sneak peek of the awesome stuff to come

When I first met Sarah, I saw how gorgeous she was. Are you kidding me with those amazing blue eyes? She boasted about her fiance, how awesome he was, and how much she missed him since he now lives out of state. Truth be told, I knew Sarah was amazing from the moment I met her. Then I met Andrew. Helllloooo, more blue eyes These two are awesomely amazing people, and when they are together, the world better watch out.
We had so much fun in the cold … and melting snow (yeah, I stepped in a puddle and sank up to my ankle in 30 degree weather, but my cold piggy’s said it was worth it, and they were right!) to capture their love. Sarah and Andrew, thanks for bringing the awesome. I have WAY too many favorites from this shoot. I am so happy for you and your upcoming wedding! Hugs – Karie!
Sarah – YOU ARE GORGEOUS!!!
A fave – love the dramatic light here!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE this shot. I also processed it a little differently than normal. You may find this on my wall of fame!
Yet another SUPER FAVE – I love this image so much. And their shadows. These two are amazing!
This is how they are together – so sweet!
Another SUPER fave
Such a fun session!!
