I love getting to do portrait shoots to celebrate the birthday season 🎂 and to mark new seasons of growth. 🪴 For this lady it's about bravely embracing her artist's journey in deeper, more powerful ways and I couldn't be more proud to know her, collaborate with her, and call her friend.

Happy birthday today to this WOMAN of LIGHT ✨, c r e a t i v i t y 🎨 , and passion 🔥 ! Grateful for her and all the other people who keep the fire going to stay committed to what it means to be an artist full of faith, hope, skill, courage, and love!

Love you Kelly. 🌻☀️💛

I love working with incredible women who are doing beautiful work in their community! ☀️ Capturing their passion, story, and strength is always a gift for me and something I LOVE! Nickole inspires me to find joy in movement, breath, meditation, and honors her faith through yoga- not only have I had the privilege to photograph her for the growing of her business, but also attending some of her classes which were amazing! ✨ ً

What I’ve learned about love thus far in life, is that it truly is a dance. Two people make the choice to lead together, as one, trusting one another to respond to the other’s movement with grace and strength. One cannot dance without the other; thus, because of their yeses back at forth, they create beautiful movement over time - aka magic ✨

Photographing these true was nothing less than truly beautiful- to see their joy, friendship, passion, and sweetness for one another that I can see has been built by many yeses to one another. It was an honor to walk on these dunes and see their dancing through the ways they looked at one another, laughed together, and rested together in their harbor of love for one another 💕

Congrats T & J to your forever together 🥹 🤍🏜️

hey hey 👋🏼
—-thank you all those who have recently been saying hi from all over. Thought I’d share more about me!
My love for photography started when I was a kid, old enough to spend hours in my backyard in Colorado 🏔️ photographing grass & other details of nature. I was mesmerized by how a camera could capture details our eyes can miss when life is passing and each frame could captured time, take power back, and protect a moment forever from the clock. I perfected the slowing of time as I learned film photography and developed in a dark room one photo at a time. Years later, I’m still in love with this art form that promises to help time stand still, as a friend to our memories that helps bring us back to the moments, people, and places we hold so dear. Life is a precious gift and photography is one creative means to celebrate that gift!

What’s really important to me:

✨ making sure my clients are cared for in every step of our process from inquiry-booking-gallery delivery—after with joy and respect
🤍navigating any concerns/uncomfortable feels being in front of a camera with light hearted conversation and fun prompts to ease the tension—we all need help sometimes where to put our hands 🤣
🎉 preserving the genuine celebrations of gatherings of all your loved ones in whatever setting is best for the occasion
📸developing my craft, perfecting with high end gear, and working alongside professional mentorship to offer my clients the best experience possible!
💕 capturing the genuine bids for connection- aka those candid moments that are oh so sweet
🌲 adventuring in landscapes that keep your heart and love wild for one another (there’s no limit to where I will travel for the story you want to tell!) ☀️ running a business that gives back to my community, supports everyone’s well-being, and joy is the sustaining strength set before me and everyone else around me. So excited to continue this adventure of life with y’all!
