Alex and Collin’s Mountaintop elopement in Boulder

This private, weekday elopement after a rainstorm in Boulder was magical. Alex and Collin are so sweet together. Documenting their special moments and elopement was a dream! I was in love with the overgrown grass at Chautauqua from all the rain we’ve gotten in Colorado over the summer.

When I first started photographing weddings around age 20, I quickly realized how important it was to connect with the people I’d be photographing. Couples choose to trust me, a photographer (who is usually a stranger prior to the event) to be one of the only witnesses for their marriage or elopement! Annnnd to wander around with them for several hours in nature while they express the most vulnerable words and emotions to each other. There’s never been any room for NOT connecting with my clients.

So I began to make sure I asked all the questions about their lives, their relationship, their hobbies and making sure there’s not uncomfortable silences. Having your photo taken is already intimidating, but to confess your love and commitment to you partner in front of a camera? Terrifying. Well, hopefully it’s not so terrifying after we meet and we become friend haha

But in all seriousness, other than taking quality photos and being well versed in my profession, I make it a top priority to keep the conversation flowing, prompts being given, lots of movement being incorporated, all to assure that you’re having a great time on your special day AND to have incredible photos to look back on as well as memories.

Couples sessions are perfect for any time of year, but I’m especially about them while the wildflowers are blooming and the land is so lush!

Colorado Engagement Photographer - Silverthorne, Colorado Proposal

Colorado Engagement Photographer - Silverthorne, Colorado Proposal

Christian and Monica came up to Colorado from Texas for a long weekend with some of their closest friends and family. Christian contacted me before the trip so we could plan logistics and be as stealthy as possible. He told Monica that everyone had pitched in for a photographer to get group photos at Sapphire Point in Silverthorne. So I met everyone on a snowy afternoon to take the photos. Christian and I had decided on a prompt that would get them into the proposal pose and Monica seemed surprised enough! Her disbelief and emotion was special to see unfold. One of the best parts about being a photographer is getting to see how much love people have for one another in such a short amount of time. And to witness this incredible moment!! I am so grateful to have this career as a documenter, memory preserver and to help my clients feel comfortable and cared for.

Denver Maternity Photographer-

Nick and Val’s indoor maternity photoshoot at this beautiful conservatory was the perfect location for a 10 degree winter day. I’ve known these two since I was about 17 years old and am grateful to watch their family and love grow each time I see them.
