Cats, Snakes + Eurovans

John + Beri’s Engagement Session in their quaint apartment was so romantic and intimate. Their pets even got involved

They're an amazing, honest, wholesome, and adventurous couple. They believe in vegan lifestyles, cruelty free products, and being the best versions of themselves that they can be. #yaaaaaaas  One amazing detail I learned about these two, is that John bought Beri's ring with Bitcoin! Its a stunning vintage yellow stunner.  A unique couple with an abundance of travel stories, advice on healthy living, and just two golden souls who are living their dream!

I cant wait for their outdoor wedding coming up this fall.  Until then, check out their amazing in-home engagement session.

Howard Family

Family of 4: Almost

Meggin+Pat+Ellie-sneak.jpg

I drove out to Meggin + Patricks house to photograph this growing family two years ago for a maternity photography session ... one of my favorite family photo sessions to date. How bizarre is it that on the exact same day two years later, I drove out to their new house, for maternity session #2. The universe is crazy, I tell ya.

I get a little giddy every time a client contacts me about an in home session to document their newest family member, their love for one another, their traditions, or whatever!  There is something so incredibly special to be invited into a client’s home and document a newborn and their family (Watch for their next session coming up, when Baby #2 comes home!).  Storytelling through photographs has always been something I have loved and I am thrilled to now be offering these type of in home lifestyle sessions to my clients.  Anyways, back to the real deal. 

The Howards are such a unique family, with killer artwork throughout their house, design oozing from every room.  Their personalities a mix of sweet, hip, interesting + bold: I couldn't adore them any more. Except when it comes to their spunky little one, Eleanor. She's so adorable, with big bright eyes, and a smile that lights up a room.  She's got my heart.

My trick with Ellie? When she wasnt feelin' the photoshoot, I'd let her take a photo on my camera. Her eyes light up like the fourth of July, when she saw her work on the screen. What a doll.

Anyways, Baby #2 is on its way, and Meggin is a stunning mama-again-to-be, and Patrick a handsome daddio. Without further ado, I present to you, The Howards. 

SIDE NOTE: Keep scrolling to see the most hilarious outtake, that had to make the highlight reel!

At Home with Alex and Amber

An Intimate At Home Session

Alex and Amber have done things a little differently (HECK YES!). They're recently married, but never had a ceremony, huge dance party, or the hangover the next day. They instead, quietly and lovingly said their vows from the comfort of their own bed, and wanted an At Home session to capture this time in their lives. Just the two of them, and their adorable home.   Then of course we stepped outside for a bit, because we do live in Colorado, and it's insane outdoors. 

Amber and Alex have been on the move much of their relationship, so this space is finally one to call their own. A home to start their lives together. I can remember when Amber met Alex, and how she spoke of him with light in her eyes. She told me of how he was different, how they were different. I get it now after meeting Alex. Yes, these two are different. They speak frequently of the love they have for each other, wanting everyone to know the level of passion and respect they feel. Honestly, I left this session with tears in my eyes and a full heart. How the hell is this my JOB!? Jeze, I'm lucky.

It was seriously such a fun day & probably the cutest way to do an indoor engagement session. I definitely welcome more sessions like this in the future! Cheers to the newly weds. You two are some of my favorites.
