Olivia!!! 🥹🌷 She’s the definition of a ray of sunshine. Every year the sessions with her just get better & better. And somehow even cuter???

I just want to offer a gentle reminder that this is why it’s so important to establish & create a good relationship between your kids and your family photographer. I’m not saying it has to be me, okay but when you find a photographer that fits your style, stick with them!! Allow your little ones to get comfortable with a photographer being in front of them with a camera in hand. Kids tend to get shy when there’s a stranger asking them to laugh and smile and pointing a camera in their face (which is totally okay!!! Let’s be real, it can be awkward) However, I’ve done sessions with Olivia since her first birthday. She knows me by name, takes directions from me, engages with me, and trusts me to walk with her (holding hands 😭) from one prop location to the next. And that’s not at all the expectation for every kid, but having a familiar face there when the camera comes out tends to produce a much better outcome for the overall session!!

What an honor it was to join this sweet family for a laid back at-home session in celebration of this pretty lady’s 82nd birthday!! 🎂 Thank you for trusting me to capture this gallery and it was a joy to meet more of the extended family!! ❤️

Congratulations to Kristy & Jeff!! 💍🥂

I had the honor of joining these two for their July wedding in beautiful Colorado!! Kristy & Jeff had the kind of wedding that makes you realize what’s truly important on your big day. No huge floral arrangements, extravagant dance floor, or elaborate guest list could have topped being surrounded by your closest friends & family, embracing what feels right for you, and celebrating the love you and your partner share as you join your lives in matrimony. Wishing these two a happily ever after with many years & adventures ahead! Welcome to the family Jeff!! ❤️

Speaking of babies, now that I’m almost halfway through this pregnancy with our little one it’s time to discuss maternity leave.
I will be closing my books from the **beginning of December - the end of March** ‼️
As I face the potential of a 2nd csection and transitioning to being a SAHM with a newborn and toddler, I want to give myself time to heal so when I return I can be my best behind the camera for my clients!! 📸

With that being said, I also want to share my current dates available for 2026 as my books have filled up very quickly (thank you x 100 💗) and spots are very limited. The following are the dates and estimated times I have at this moment. I will update this post as they fill up with sessions.

UPDATED:
- November 14th (PM)

Again, I can not say thank you enough to my amazing clients. The ones I’ve yet to meet in person, only met once for sessions, or those that have returned time and time again for sessions throughout the chapters of life. You guys are truly the best and I’m so happy I get to capture memories for you all. 🥹🫶🏼

P.S. thank you to my wonderful husband for stepping behind my camera tonight & listening to all my pointers. You did great babe!! 😅

What an absolute honor it has been to find clients that let me capture moments with them year after year. 😭

Zaily was my very first session offered to someone other than family or friends. I was just starting out - terrified & hoping I could deliver a decent gallery. She believed in my abilities and I’ve now had the chance to capture her graduation sessions, her maternity photos and now this family session with their ADORABLE little girl, with more scheduled in the future.💗 it truly means the world to build client relationships like this!!!

We had to cut this one a bit short because a summer rainstorm showed up out of nowhere but as always, thank you for choosing me to be your photographer! 🥰

Elizabeth + Casey!!! Congratulations are in order to these two on their engagement and upcoming wedding! It was a pleasure to trek through the trails, into the river, and back to the falls to capture the vision these two had for their session. They were truly troopers for the adventure we took this day. I can’t wait to see you again in September for your big day!! 💍🤩

Per usual, I have some catching up to do on posting sessions to my page!!
However, I wanted to start with this creative summer shoot done earlier in June with Ashely. The inspiration for this really required Ashley and I to brain storm what we both envisioned for this, and I must say - she killed it!!!! 😍 this style fit her vibe so well, was so fun to create, and she’s an absolute natural in front of a camera! 🌷🫶🏼🌻
