I was thrilled when Erin & Tricia of the awesome style & design blog Suburban Bitches asked me to do a styled “Back to School” fashion shoot. And I was even more excited when I was able to throw my kiddos into the mix (until the actual shoot, when of course my two “models” were the most challenging to work with!) I was amazed at how well all of the kids’ outfits coordinated, given that we did not discuss the colors or themes. Great minds think alike! A special thank you to Gallipot Salon for the… Read More »

Where do I begin my gushing about Lauren & Travis and their amazing wedding at 4 Eagle Ranch outside of Vail Colorado? Do I start with how awesome they were to work with? How much fun & love they infused into their wedding day? How beautiful the surroundings were? How much I love to photograph mountain weddings? How amazing 4 Eagle Ranch is?  How cool it is that I got to go road biking with the incredible Lauren, just days after her wedding? Oh, there are just so many aspects I love about Lauren & Travis and… Read More »

A favorite event of our summers is the Meadow Lark Farm Dinners,  so we were so thrilled to see them back at it this summer after taking a summer off.  We jumped at the opportunity to go to another fabulous farm and enjoy an incredible meal prepared by their amazing chefs. I am always blown away at the flavors and the freshness in each course. And again, this year did not disappoint. This time we went to Toohey & Sons Organic Farm. They were wonderful hosts and it was so fun to hear about the farm,… Read More »

Jessie & Brett had a beautiful, heartfelt wedding day, that I was honored to be a part of. You can see through the photos that their wedding day was filled with a lot of laughter and so many contagious smiles- how can you contain yourself when you see Jessie’s brilliant smile? The Ryssby Church was the perfect place to celebrate their love for one another and their faith in God. Their ceremony was full of wonderful music, lots of singing, beautiful traditions, tender moments and radiant smiles…and maybe the best exit I have seen to date! The… Read More »

I can’t tell you how giddy I am to announce that Kristin & David’s beautiful wedding at Catamount Ranch in Steamboat Springs is featured on Style Me Pretty today!

Case in point?…” Indeed it was a magical day… Read More »

I often get asked about cropping options when printing photos. It can be a bit confusing when you are trying to decide between a 5×7, 8×10, 8×12, etc.! So, here is a handy dandy guide to let you know how images come out of camera (full frame) and how different size prints end up cropping the image. Hopefully it is a clean and easy way for you to see how an image will be altered when printed in different sizes. Luckily my new (almost ready) proofing site will let you visualize the crop before submitting… Read More »

As I was going through my 2013 weddings, I realized that I posted my digital images of Kristin & David’s beautiful wedding at Catamount Ranch, but never showed you what my foray into shooting film at a wedding turned out like! Some of you may have read my post about my little adventure & self challenge of going “backwards” or back to shooting film, in an effort to slow myself down and really look at things before I release the shutter… if you haven’t click on over here to get all the details on why… Read More »

I realized that I have never really showcased any final wedding album designs, so I thought that I should start sharing some of them! First up, I will share Kate & Ralf’s beautiful album. Their wedding day was some much fun at the picturesque Redstone Inn! The complete wedding album ended up being a 42 page, 12×12 flush mount album. To add the finishing touches to the album they chose a black leather cover with kate + ralf in modern font imprinted on the spine. They also chose to use one of my favorite holga images… Read More »

Its always a joy to do newborn sessions. I forget just how small they are, despite the fact I am only 2 years post having a little bundle of my own. I am so grateful to all of you who ask me into the special times in your life. It is a great honor to capture it all for you to remember long after the sleep deprived nights are over, and this newborn stage is a distant blur, as you are whirling through toddler-hood. Thank you for inviting me to photograph your darling family again…. Read More »
