On the Blo g

“My family is not super happy about how far we had to drive to get here.” That’s completely understandable, coming from a family who lives in Fountain! However, THANK YOU, Brooke and family, for trusting me to drive ALL the way up to the north end of the Springs for your session. I think it was […]

Dayna and Dan came into our lives sometime around 2 years ago. Maybe? I’m not exactly sure because they’re the kind of people who just feel like they’ve always been there. They have three lovely, spirited, and unique children who they are molding into people that will be capable of contributing great and good things […]

Long blog warning because it has lots of personal story mixed in with this super fun session! So, keep reading if you’d like to learn about me and some of my journey with photography! Rebekah (Rebekah Mann Photography) and I are in a photography group together because we both take the same online course. Honestly, […]

I had the privilege of taking photos for Shane’s extended family last August. It was a family reunion/birthday party followed by formal family photos. To date, it’s still the largest family photo session I have shot. Moving 17 people around into different group combinations, maintaining positive attitudes, and continuously giving genuine smiles throughout 2 hours […]

Trese knew, from reading my website, that I am not a morning person and apologized for her early morning elopement. Of course, there are exceptional situations that help me perk up and enjoy a morning, and this was certainly one of those situations!

“I’m trying to think of a polite way to ask if Mariah, her friend and I could stay with you for a few days, with the two of them separately having you do their senior pictures while we are there.” This is a message I got from Lynnay back in mid-July. It wasn’t impolite because […]

Sweaty hair from playing hard. Check. Riding a bike in a pretty pink dress before photos. Check. A less-than-thrilled attitude about having to get her picture taken. Check. A mom who got her children up, fed, and nicely dressed before 9:00 am. Check. These were the ingredients that we mixed together to get this lovely, […]

Engagement sessions are so fun to me! Typically, couples are more than happy to get in front of the camera and to focus on each other for an hour or so. It can understandably be awkward to get in front of the camera, so I have a lot of tips and tricks up my sleeve […]

Denver. Traffic. I planned for it…but not well enough. It took me almost 3 hours to get to Standly Lake for this Styled Senior Shoot (should’ve taken 2). I was in a cranky, crabby mood when I arrived…just to find out I was on the wrong side of the lake! 10 more minutes and I […]

“This is the best wedding ever!” “I love this wedding!” “This day is so perfect!” “I love this day.” These were just some of the exclamations Cat made throughout her wedding day. And what a beautiful, perfect day it was! Before the first look, Josh was standing on the stairs around the corner from where […]
