Steamboat Springs

On our first day in Steamboat, there were clouds, but no new snow. We had a great day and found lots of leftover snow from the 27 inches that fell around Christmas time.

Our second day, we went to the Strawberry Hot Springs at night. It was about 3 degrees by the time we were back home. The hot springs were perfect. I had previously only been to the hot springs during the day. The night time experience was even more magical. There was no artificial lighting, just the moonlight beaming down in the pools.

When we got back from the hot springs, I went for a walk around the ski village. Although it was only a few degrees outside, I loved seeing what the village was like with no one there. The lights and fires were beautiful.

The morning that we left Steamboat, it was warmer. All the snow on the patio furniture outside had melted. There was about a foot of snow in that spot when we arrived. As we made our way up Rabbit Ears Pass, I got out to take photos of the trees that were frosted over from the -15 degree temperatures there and in Kremmling the night before.

These photos were just as fun as they look. Rilee and her family were high energy and had so many ideas for funny photos that fit their dynamic and personalities so well. Like their love for the Oregon State Beaver’s team. They brought 3 changes of outfits, accessories, changes of shoes and I was honestly impressed and happy to have so much enthusiasm!

They made the photos such a fun time for me. After Rilee and I worked together for several months this past summer, I was happy to meet her extended family and see the love they have for her. They all flew out from Oregon a few days before her birthday to celebrate and pose for these amazing photos at a park dear Denver.

After taking the group family photos, we moved onto some very on-brand headshots for Rilee to celebrate her birthday. Her self constructed Krispy Kreme donut cake was a hit. Especially to the dog (sadly not pictured) that ran past us and stole a donut off the tray.

Marc, Christina and Hashbrown! Marc and Christina’s love for each other just radiates through their photos. I’m grateful to know them as friends and to witness their kindness for others be spread endlessly anytime I spend time with them. They are such inspiring individuals and just perfect as a couple. Taking these photos for their engagement was an honor and made my heart so happy.

Maternity Photo Inspiration with Dogs in Colorado

Karl and Leanna are expecting a baby girl and they’re thrilled to have yet another girl in their pack. We explored this beautiful park in Lyons. I loved the huge rock wall by the river. The fall colors were still in full swing and we had perfect weather. The dogs, Annie and Meesha wanted to be near Leanna and Karl at all times which resulted in a fair amount of howling throughout our session. Luckily, that resulted in lots of laughs and fun moments in between. Leanna and Karl and wonderful, intelligent and kind people. I feel more grateful and happy each time I’m given the opportunity to document parts of my friends’ lives.
