Client Love

Since I was a little girl I have always loved love, a hopeless romantic really. Never Been Kissed, Titanic, and Dirty Dancing were some of my fav chick flicks but I never thought I’d have a boyfriend because I always felt awkward and teenage acne got me good girl! When I was 20 years I went on a cruise with my best friend and little did I know I was going to meet the man I was going to marry (whaaat!? I KNOW!) Spent a week together adventuring on that boat shooting tequila, he even made it to my top friends on Myspace ( I’m old - I know) to 11 years later we reconnected (thanks snapchat) and it was like no time had passed, it was crazy! We formed a long distance friendship which eventually led to us visiting one another that led to long distance dating, to me taking a leap of faith & moving to his home state, Colorado. Now 5 years later, I am married to my bestest friend, we are both thriving in our careers, and building a beautiful life together and just had our sweet baby boy Jacob.  




who doesn't love a good love story?!

I get it, I hate being told what to do and how to do it, I get how awkward it can be to have a camera in your face, I get that finding your person is a journey and I get the deep peace you feel when your search is over. And because I believe you are investing in the entire experience and I do not take your trust in me lightly which is why my passion goes beyond the lens and I try to make this experience with my clients unforgetable, fun, and unique because no couple is the same. 

Investing and trusting in a photographer is more than just investing in pretty pictures.

And that's the beauty of your love.That's the beauty of your story.

Why ME…

My journey to love…

When I was younger you'd catch me riding my bike to the store developing more than one disposable camera and I was always that friend documenting every trip, party, and adventure. Yes, you know that annoying one that always said “one more” Well… here we are still saying “one more” but to clients! I took every single photography class in high school but ended up in the dental field for 10 years. I even joked with old bosses about how my dream job would be getting paid to take epic landscape sunset photos outta helicopters or being a live music photographer. It wasn't until my early 30s that I decided to listen to that nagging little voice and take a leap of faith and started investing in education, gear and really discovered that this interest really is my calling and purpose on this earth and it has lit a fire inside me that is indescribable. 

I LOVE what I do and I can’t picture doing anything else with my life than this, truly!
