Sal + Rachel

Oh hey, its been a little while. Do you hate me? Have you written me off? I sincerely hope not, but I understand if you’ve got a bit of a bad taste in your mouth about my absence. But. I’m. Back.

Not only am I ramping up my blogging, SEO, all things website, in my off season…I’m excited to reconnect with my inspiration, passions, and knowledge.

This session was delivered to Rachel and Sal today, and its no coincidence that I’m sitting looking out my window to over a foot of snow. Here in Colorado, we love our snow.

Ben + Lizzie

One thing I love in life: Strong Entrepreneurial Babes, an Lizzie is just that! She’s the owner/creator of both CraftBelly + Paper Girl Creative. She designed our beautiful wedding invitations and is a great friend of mine. I couldn’t be more honored to photograph her wedding in the upcoming months. With this pandemic spreading across the nation, we’re not sure what their wedding day looks like right now, but I can tell you that it will be loads of fun, full of love and laughs Lizzie + Ben, you’re solid gems and I’m so happy you found each other. Plus your doggos are cute too. :)

Evan + Jess

This engagement session goes down as one of my favorites of all time. I adore these two humans, and I can not wait until their Wisconsin wedding this fall (if this pandemic allows…).

Want to know why this session was so much fun? Because Evan and Jess showed up with laughter and silliness. I know its strange being in front of a camera. Trust me, I know. But when we stepped out of the car on Guanella Pass, cracked a few beers and told jokes for the firsts 20 mins, they knew this session wasn’t meant to be awkward. These adventure sessions are meant to get to know each other, take some epic photos, and honestly just screw around.

Scroll to the bottom, to see where Jess and Evan wanted to take this session. It involves piggybacks + shotgunning beers.

My. Kind. Of. People.

Jason + Carissa

Where do I start here? Maybe with a thank you.  

Thank You Carissa for being the one who's been taming my mermaid hair for years. Ya'll she's the best hair stylist in Denver so go check her out. My hair was a mess before she got her hands on it. She's a color wizard and a beautiful soul.

Jason: Thank you for loving this woman. You two fit together like stars in the sky, and I'm so honored to have captured your engagement session. Your Mexico destination wedding will be so amazing, maybe I'll just end up at the same resort around that time. lol. Kidding. Sort of.

These two took a leap of faith with me and went to a location that I've been a hundred times, but never photographed at. LOL - YUP A DOG PARK!  My four legged fur-baby and I walk this park frequently, and I had always admired the mountain views, the rolling hills, and the meadows of unique desert-like plants. So we met up here, and magic happened.

After a few initial poses and prompts, Jason and Carissa got really into it and we started playing around with Double Exposures. They threw out ideas left and right, and I loved the collaboration that happened. I absolutely love their gallery, and I'm so so so so so stoked to share it with you. 

Feast your eyes on this.
 

Matt + Alli

Alli and Matt have been together for 2.5 years and they had the sweetest proposal:  On their front porch after a night at dinner and the symphony. OMG RIGHT!? These two are so down to earth, fun and full of love.  

Lookout Mountain was the perfect spot to capture their fun, sweet love for one another. Alli and Matt were so easy-going and it was such a joy to work with them. These two will be tieing the knot this winter at one of my favorite venues, and you bet your bottom dollar,  I am so flippin' excited about it. Bring on the snow!

I truly couldn't be more excited for these two as they plan to commit to forever together. 
 

Nick + Nikki

Any one who makes up voices for their dog and talks for them - IS THE COOLEST HUMAN EVER. So on our drive out to the middle of no where, when Nick and Nikki (I know, I know, perfect name combo, huh?) talked for their doggie Aspen, I about lost it. I DO THAT ALL THE TIME! Glad I'm not the only one. 

These two are so much fun with their constant laughter, jokes, up-for-anything-attitude, and most of all their love for each other. Its a sassy kind of love. The down to earth type that you know will be comforting in the rough times, but it's the everyday happy-go-lucky passion that will fuel their lives.  I am so excited to capture their wedding day this winter. 

“I have fallen in love with someone that shares my sense of humor. Nothing is better than looking over at the one you love and know they’re smiling for the exact same reason. ”

— internet. (but it fit so perfectly with these two!)
