Garden of the Gods Maternity Morning Session Learn a little about lighting and location from this Garden of the Gods maternity morning session! Have you had a photo session before and been told you can only have your photos taken right before and during sunset? That’s pretty typical in the photography industry! “Golden Hour” is […]

Chances are pretty good that you’re a wonderful person if your name is Katherine or Josh. I married my own wonderful Josh, I photographed this Catherine and Josh getting married at Boettcher Mansion last summer, I photographed my cousin Paul marrying his best friend Katherine a few weeks ago, and now I had the privilege […]

A vineyard elopement is every bit as calm, dreamy, and romantic as it sounds! Paul & Katherine know themselves well enough to know they would enjoy traveling to an area of the country they love for an intimate wedding ceremony between just the two of them. They rented the guest house at Simi Winery where […]

Paul and Katherine’s California redwood engagement session was amazing! When planning the trip to wine country, both Katherine and I thought the redwoods were too far away to see, much less go to for a photo session. However, we lucked out with Armstrong Redwoods Natural Preserve just 20 minutes from our adorable Airbnb! Though there […]

We had over 12 inches of snow by the next morning! That is certainly not the weather I was hoping for when I […]

The Salsbery family is one of my favorite clients to photograph each year! Their five kids are tons of fun and Katie and Nathan are so kind. We always have a great time catching up. Plus, I love talking with Ella and Aubrey who are developing and growing in their own passions for photography. Their […]

I am about to gush all over this page with love and appreciation for Megan, Susie, and Glenda of Tend.To.Events! Before I can gush about them, however, I really need to gush about Jenny of BonBon Bombardier who connected me with Tend.To in the first place. Jenny is a light in the Colorado Springs small […]

7-year-old: “Wait…do you have kids?” Me: “No, I don’t.” 7-year-old: “Then how do you know what Fortnite and the Floss is?” Me: “Because I know lots of cool kids like you at the school where I taught!” First of all, I did not know that Floss dance was from Fortnite, but I played it cool […]
