izzy turns 2 {colorado family photography}
Izzy is a sweet and adorable two-year-old. Her sassy flower headband made her even that much more adorable. I was pleased to be able to help her parents document this fun time in her childhood.
diana and robert {denver wedding photography}
A beautiful, partly sunny morning at Washington Park ended up being the perfect back drop for Diana & Robert’s bridal portraits. Diana’s dress was absolutely gorgeous with its flowing layers of silk organza and elaborately beaded bodice. The lighting that morning created an almost ethereal ambiance.
little lily {denver baby photographer}
Little Lily’s sparkly blue eyes are just stunning and she was such an easy baby to photograph. Thanks SB!
the johnsons {denver family photography}
Sara Beth and I have known each other since the 5th grade! She and I have both recently decided to give our love of photography a front seat in our lives, so I was honored when she asked me to take her family’s picture earlier this year. She has three adorable children – twin boys and [...]
tree of life {maternity henna art photography}
While traditionally reserved for weddings and special occassions, I convinced my dear friend Pinder to get an elaborate henna tattoo (or Mehndi) on her pregnant belly before her baby shower. The tree seemed to be the perfect symbol to represent the growing life within her. My cake & cupcake creations for the shower & the [...]
libby & eli {colorado kid photography}

Her son, Eli, is a miniature version of his dad, and I’m guessing a similar personality at that age, but I can’t say that with [...]
little conner {denver baby photography}
It has been really special to document this family as they have joined together in marriage, prepared for the birth of a new baby, and now they have welcomed baby Conner into their lives. What a sweet little guy! Congratulations Emily & Kerry! This baptism dress was passed down from Emily’s grandfather!
nora’s retro {cherry creek commercial photography}
During a photography event this past Saturday, I had the opportunity to hang out with Vivian & Jessica at Nora’s Retro in Cherry Creek North. What an adorable little boutique! The clothes are totally hip & unique; from everyday fashions to one-of-kind special occasion items. I couldn’t resist a fabulous black & white print maxi dress and the most flattering pair of jeans! [...]
wintry woods {colorado family photography}
This time of year in Colorado it’s really a gamble when it comes to whether or not the weather is going to cooperate with a shoot. Thankfully, more often than not, the sun comes out and makes even a chilly day bearable. After warming up the camera in their family room, the Brown family and [...]
