Minnesota - 2021

Vacations with my family are more important to me now than they’ve ever been. It’s the only time we all actually get to full relax together. Usually, I’m the only one on vacation when I visit Illinois. So the week we all spent in Northern Minnesota doing nothing but swim, canoe, read and make meals together was incredible.

It was a restorative week of listening to my body and mind’s needs. I taught myself more about slowing the pace of the my life down and being more intentional each day. Why spend time doing things that are unfulfilling?

Erik and Sarah’s Boulder, CO Mountain Wedding Photographer

This wedding started at Chautauqua Park in Boulder. The ceremony was at the foothills of the Flat Irons, then we drove up Flagstaff mountains for some amazing views (including a TORNADO) before going to the Flagstaff house for their reception and dinner. Erik and Sarah are great together. They had lots of down time to be present together. Their intimate wedding was beautiful and allowed them to connect with the select few friends and family who were there for them. Boulder weddings always amaze me!

Headshots at Chautauqua are always breathtaking. The flat irons and open field is such a gorgeous area. I took some photos for Jason and I was so thrilled that he wanted to include his dog. I was even more excited when he asked if I could take some photos of him with his girlfriend Tara who came along. A week or so after I sent the photos to Jason, he let me know how special the moments were between him and Tara that I captured. The little moments full of emotion between Jason and Tara give me so much hope for love and goodness in the world. This session was only about 30 minutes long but it was great.

Couples Photographer in Boulder for People with Dogs

Couples photos are so much better with all the dogs! It was raining all morning and we were expecting a foot of snow in Colorado later that afternoon. I met Leanna and Karl in Longmont and the dogs loved sniffing in the rain. We took lots of photos and used lots of hot dogs to bribe the dogs. We made it home right before the snow started and it was great. I loved taking these photos for Karl and Leanna and giving them these photos of them their little babies.

Ryann’s Women's Business Coach Headshot Session at Betasso Preserve - Boulder, CO was beautiful. Ryann and I realized halfway through our session while chatting that we actually met each other about 2 years ago at an entrepreneur meeting in Boulder and we have a mutual friend! I love these sessions. We were able to spend time getting to know each other while getting natural photos for Ryann’s business.
