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.

Madi + Matt

I absolutely loved getting to know Matt and Madi during their engagement session while they were visiting Colorado. Their adventurous souls, deep laughs, and welcoming spirits made the connection immediate. I’m jealous of the lucky photographer who gets to capture their amazing wedding day back home in OH later this year.

To Matt + Madi: Stay rad. Stay adventurous. And Come back to Colorado and hang out with me again. :)

Maggie + Chris

John + Beri

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. 

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.
 

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!)

Jon + Meaghan

Photography brings me in contact with some of the most amazing humans. I get to be an intimate part of their lives for just a second, a kaleidoscope of emotion that I am so fond of. I could just squeeze these two! They were champs by braving the cold and the wind for their photoshoot. I mean, wiiiiiiiiind.  If it wasn't such a bone-chilling hurricane of misery, I would have asked to stay out there all day with them.  But alas, Colorado wins again. 

In the end I can thank creativity, for having blessed me with a charmed, interesting, passionate existence. Because with out creativity and photography, I would have never met Meaghan and Jon and their adorable son Henry. And without all of this, we wouldn't have been on that mountain top. and I like mountain tops. 

Okay, I'll stop talking.
