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

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!

It’s so me. It’s the day AFTER Valentines Day. The day AFTER I am supposed to profess my love of my wonderful husband. I’m always late with holidays – and I suck about that. I know. I think he knows I love him. He loves me even when I’m late …
So – in true Karie Fashion – Here’s our LOVE story.
We met in high school. We were seniors. We were young, naieve, maybe never expected to be together forever. We were friends first, fell in love second. We were best friends. We knew something was special. We went to college. We loved each other more. We never went to the same school – and always shared a distance relationship of at least a few hours. We broke up once in a stupid fight – I lost 10 lbs. We got back together a few days later. We agreed that life wasn’t good at all without each other. We did summer internships in different states – He in Denver, me in LA. We never wanted to be apart again. We got engaged that Summer – he proposed in San Francisco on our way back to Kansas (to finish our last year of college). We planned to move away after college. We moved to Colorado and LOVED it. We started our corporate jobs – I was miserable. We decided it was okay for me to live my dream. We made sacrafices – good ones, the ones that made me get where I am today. We had a baby. We are in love with her – she is pretty awesome. We are still in love. A lot.
February 8th, we were officially “together” for 10 years. I can’t wait to look back and say, we have been together longer than we had lived life apart.
This weekend we spent some time with great friends in Tabernash. As I started an impromptu photo session with Natalie, I caught my two loves (the loves of my life in fact), peeking out the window at me. I don’t know why I love this simple photo. But I do. Our love is simple, maybe as simple as a smile through a window, but to me – it is Oh So Special!
I hope all of you had a super Happy Valentines Day with your sweeties!
Sorry for the sappy love mush – I promise not to do it again … for at least a few months. June maybe? Our 6 year wedding anniversary! Deal.

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!

We found this awesome Cellar … Love this shot!
