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.

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!

It’s all about the click. In my business, I love that “click”. It’s the click that I get when I talk to someone, or meet them for the first time, and know that I LOVE THEM! Lauren and Brandon are that kind of “click”. They are both from Colorado but currently live in New York City. When I spoke to Lauren on the phone the first time, I knew that she was fabulous, fun, and my type of girl! I was SO excited that they chose me to shoot their wedding. So, they were in town for Christmas and we set up their engagement session. Seriously … these two rocked my little socks off! I truly LOVE them We had a ton of fun (on a very cold morning) wandering through Denver. Lauren, Brandon and I laughed. A LOT. They remind me why I love what I do so much everyday.
Fave. You two are such an awesomely amazing couple!
And – Another fave.
I had so much fun with this one! I LOVE having fun with my couples.
I think this may be going on the wall of fame. LOVING me some architecture
Lauren – I looooove this
Denver – I love you. Lauren and Brandon – YOU ROCK! I’m really looking forward to your wedding this summer! Happy New Year!

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!

It was an incredibly gorgeous day. Nicole and Garin were married at Our Lady of Mt. Carmel in the Highlands. They, and 350 of their friends and family, gathered to watch them get married. When I first met Garin and Nicole, it was obvious that they were very in love. They are so warm and genuine, that photographing them was not only a pleasure, but easy. We got time to hang out downtown (on probably the busiest weekend ever in Denver), and grabbed some amazing urban shots before getting back on the party bus to head to their fabulous reception.
Nicole and Garin didn’t miss any details for their wedding … they had a monogramed theme that was carried through all of the details. The cake, the Ice Sculpture, the cups that the guests got to take home, it was all monogramed. The centerpieces were flowing and the guests were grooving
Nicole and Garin were having a traditional Catholic Ceremony, so she had her bridal party sign her shoes. Too cute!
I loved the way Garin looked at her when she was walking down the isle.
I Love, Love, Love this shot of them during the rose ceremony!
Downtown …
Love this, these two are always smiling!
FAVE!
Another fave! You two are amazing!
The Reception was at the Sheraton Downtown on 16th Street. They had an awesome Cocktail Hour that led in to the reception with AMAZING details.
The band played (they were amazing), and pulled Garin up on stage. He is an UBER talented singer. He sang, “Brown Eyed Girl”. So awesome!
And while Garin sung, the crowd went wild!
Nicole and Garin, I hope you enjoyed your honeymoon in Ireland! You are so Amazing! Thank you for EVERYTHING! Hugs!
Venue: Our Lady of Mt. Carmel and Sheraton Denver Downtown
Florist: The Perfect Petal
Band: Dressed in Black (THEY WERE AWESOME)!
