Nate and Jessica’s wedding was chic, elegant, and simply beautiful! The 100 degree temps that had been plaguing us the past few weekends subsided and we were able to shoot at Nate’s family property which was absolutely perfect (I love when last minute choices end up being the best ones!) We had to giggle when […]

Another peaceful evening spent with the sweetest of families – it was crazy deja vu to do these pictures as it seems like we JUST were photographing little Will as a newborn! I had to laugh at Katie’s comment when she said she thought we’d taken enough pictures of her – sorry mama’s to fresh […]

I’m telling you – the babies I’ve photographed this year have been the quietest little babies around! Barely a peep out of any of them! Of course not normal newborn behavior – so I’ll take it! 🙂 Graham was no exception, he was precious and oh-so-sleepy the whole time. I do so love newborn sessions […]

Beautiful couple plus beautiful Boulder Colorado mountain scenery = one exceedingly happy photographer.

Amber’s wedding weekend started off with a fun boho photoshoot with all her best girls 🙂 This vibrant bohemian backyard  wedding was all love and bright beautiful joy!  Every couple I think gets the advice in their wedding day to “just enjoy every minute of it!” But one thing that I always wish for couples […]

From Casey, who shot this wedding: “From the first few emails back and forth, I knew that Kalah had a kind demeanor and a sweet personality.  After our first phone call though, it was apparent how genuine and gracious she is too!  Her hope for the big day was to not rush through any of the day’s […]

As a fellow lover of horses, when Taryn contacted me about her elegant equestrian themed wedding, I was 100% on board! Every detail of this day was flawless, and such a beautiful representation of this classy couple’s interests. Taryn is an award winning rider and she brought her GORGEOUS horse along to the St. Charles […]

  This entire day had such an awesome feel to it – I immediately fell in love with the Elmore Stock Barn upon arriving, it is so cozy and beautifully lit and everything a barn wedding/reception should be – especially wonderful with those wide open barn doors letting lovely light and lovely air flow in!
