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.

Nature Boudoir Photographer in Boulder

These boudoir photos were taken in the Denver area at a magical, secluded forest.

The light was unreal! The natural pool of water was glowing as the sun set behind us. This location has a few bridges, open wheat grass fields, a creek running through the area and a lot of tree tunnels that make for wonderful photos.

Depending on the season and how dry or wet it has been, these pools of water may or may not be flowing. It’s worth going to this location even if there isn’t any water because of how quiet and private it is for photos.

Family Photographer in Boulder for a First Birthday Party

Miko’s first birthday! And it’s called Mikochella.

This adorable family hosted Miko’s birthday party at their home. Taylor and Keith put in so much love to decorate and invite their friends and family to celebrate Miko. Taylor knows how fast Miko is already growing up and how much she wants to preserve the memories of this time of their lives. It’s so special to be able to look back on with time. Being a first birthday photographer in Colorado is such a special event for me too! I’ve seen Miko a few weeks after he was born all the way up until this point. Watching families grow, metaphorically and physically is wild. I probably feel an ounce of the way my parents and relatives do when they say, you’ve changed and grown so much!! And it’s a beautiful feeling.

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!
