YOUR BO***IR DOESN’T HAVE TO LOOK LIKE ANYONE ELSE’S BO***IR. ❤️‍🔥

Give me the vintage pinup.
Give me the red lipstick and victory rolls.
Give me the ridiculous props and the sky-high heels.
Give me classic black & white.
Give me dark and moody.
Give me playful and cheeky and a little bit over-the-top.

Or give me ALL OF IT. 😂🔥

One of my favorite things about photographing bo***ir is figuring out what makes YOU feel sexy.

Not what Instagram says sexy is. Not what you think a bo***ir session is supposed to look like. You.

We can build an entire session around your personality — your music, your style, your favorite era, your hobbies, your tattoos, the parts of yourself you love, the parts you’re learning to love, and whatever completely ridiculous idea we dream up together.

And yes… sometimes that means we show up at a retro diner with victory rolls and a milkshake. 😂❤️

After 24+ years behind a camera, I can tell you this: some of the most incredible transformations I’ve watched happen have been during bo***ir sessions. There is something pretty freaking powerful about seeing yourself in a way you haven’t seen yourself in a long time — or maybe ever.

So if you’ve been waiting until you lose 10 pounds, feel more confident, have the “right” body, or somehow magically wake up one morning feeling ready…

You don’t have to wait.

Come exactly as you are.

We’ll create the rest together. ❤️

Now tell me — classic pinup, dark & moody, soft & romantic, or ALLLLL of the above? 😂🔥

Nature has always been the best artist. 🌿

Also, I miss Mexico.

Do you want the beautiful family portraits for the walls and the Christmas cards…a and ALSO the complete chaos that is your life with little kids that actually feel like YOUR family? 😂❤️

Because I want to give you both.

I want the one where everyone is looking at the camera and somehow, miraculously, all of your children are smiling at the exact same time. That one is going on the wall. Grandma is getting a copy. Christmas card = DONE. 🙌

But I also want the one where somebody is making a ridiculous face.

The one where brothers are tackling each other.

The one where Mom is laughing so hard because absolutely NO ONE is doing what they're supposed to be doing.

The snuggles. The chaos. The tiny bare feet. The baby expressions. The sibling nonsense. The way your kids actually interact with each other right now.

Because someday, I have a feeling those might be the photographs you love the most. ❤️

Your family photography doesn't have to be stiff or perfect. Give me the pretty AND give me the crazy. I want to photograph all of it.

And this family?! FOUR little ones, including a tiny baby, and they absolutely NAILED IT. 😍

Fall family sessions are booking now — and YES, we have plenty of time to get those Christmas-card-worthy photos too. 😂🎄

💦 WANT TO BE ONE OF MY FIRST THREE? 🌊

OK GUYS! IT’S HAPPENING.

After months of shooting, learning, experimenting and basically OBSESSING over underwater portraiture, I’m officially bringing it to Colorado Springs!

Before I launch at full pricing, I’m looking for THREE of you to be my first official underwater clients... and I’m GIFTING each of you my $900 underwater creative session fee.

$900 session fee = $0. 💦

You’ll get the FULL experience: planning + styling, plenty of time in the water, and all the posing and direction from me. You do NOT need to know what you’re doing underwater. 😂 That’s my job.

Afterward, we’ll meet for your private reveal where you’ll choose the images and artwork you love. Images and artwork are purchased separately, with no obligation to purchase anything you don’t love.

You don’t need to be a model.
You don’t need to know how to pose.
You definitely don’t need to hold your breath for three minutes. 😂

Just be comfortable in the water, willing to play, and ready to see yourself in a completely different way.

THREE SPOTS. That’s it.

If you’ve been watching me thinking, I would LOVE to do that someday…

Someday is here. 💦

This is why family photography matters so much. ❤️
Grappling with the news this morning that one of the beautiful women in the first photograph is no longer here with us.
And suddenly these aren't just pictures from a family session. They are part of this family's history. They are a way to remember her face, her smile, the way she loved her people and the way they loved her.
This is also why family sessions are SO important.
Here are a few more recent family images! When you hire me for a family session, we are going to get it ALL - of course we'll get the big everyone-looking-at-the-camera family portrait. But we're not stopping there.
Mom with the kids. Dad with the kids. Mom and Dad together. Grandparents with their grandchildren. All the kids together. Individual portraits of every child. Siblings. Couples. Little combinations you may not even think to ask for.
And then all the in-between moments. The laughing. The hugs. The chaos. The way your child reaches for you. The way Grandma looks at her grandchildren.
I work quickly and I shoot A LOT because I want to give you a giant, beautiful body of work of your family exactly as you are right now.
Because someday, one of those photographs may mean more than you ever imagined it would.
Take the pictures. Get everyone together. Get Grandma in the frame. Get Mom in the frame. Don't wait until everyone loses ten pounds or schedules calm down or life feels less chaotic.
These photographs only become more valuable with time. ❤️

ME again. 😂💙

Turns out getting on the OTHER side of the camera underwater is one hell of a lesson.

Nothing moves the way you expect it to. Your dress has a mind of its own. Your hair has a mind of its own. Your body is trying to float while you're trying to sink, pose, point your toes, look relaxed AND remember that breathing is apparently important. 😂

And yet… when it all comes together, it feels like flying.

I am learning SO MUCH by getting in the water myself — especially about what I need to do to help YOU feel comfortable, safe and absolutely magical down there.

And I am completely, utterly obsessed with this new adventure. 💙

Who wants to get in the water with me?!
