Denver, CO Headshot Photographer

Taylor; my good friend, activist, mother, and so much more. I am continually inspired by her discipline in her work and commitment to these roles in life as well as working on her career. Her expression of her indigenous roots has been beautiful to witness. The time we get to spend together always leaves me feeling inspired and grateful.

Boulder, CO Small Wedding Photographer

Small Wedding Inspiration at the St Julien Hotel in Boulder, CO

*Photographed with and for Eleanor at Be Boulder Photography

Rebecca, Sheldon and Miyagi- the cutest trio on their wedding day. The Saint Julien in Boulder is a great hotel to host guests, a ceremony and dinner. Rebecca and Sheldon had their closest friends getting ready and relaxing with them in their suites before the ceremony.

An important part of a wedding day is having extra time for detail photos and additional special moments- like Miyagi adding his paw print to their marriage license! Rebecca and Sheldon had so many people show up for them to celebrate, so it was a busy day, but the time we built in for getting ready photos, details of cards and memorable events was worth the planning. Often times, couples will say they love the little moments like these the most out of all their photos. For Rebecca and Sheldon, they didn’t want much posing or photos of the two of them, so the unposed, spur or the moment photos were essential. Being able to distinguish what’s important for your day is what matters. Some people want all the attention on their interactions with guests, some have a choreographed first dance that is most important for them to have photos. And some want a mix of candids and posed photos with no specifics! Having information about different priorities from other couples can be helpful, but there’s no right or wrong way to make the day special!

What to Expect at a Family Photo Session - Family Photographer in Boulder, CO

For photo sessions, I always arrive early, scout locations, check the weather and double check plans. Before this family session, there was an unexpected snow storm, so I needed to account for little Miko and make sure we could get to a location easily despite the weather. We originally wanted to go to a location in Boulder with views of the Flat Irons near Chautauqua. But the visibility was low, so we opted for a location closer to Taylor and Keith that had more foliage so we could see the landscape.

At every session, I arrive 20 minutes early to make sure the area is accessible, and to find specific areas for the photos so I don’t spend much time wandering and using up time.

After I chose a few spots for our session, this adorable family arrived and we made our way through the fresh snow. Even if your photo session is short, 30 minutes or so, it’s important for me to get as much variety as I can! I like to take close up photos, more wide angle shots, details and any pose requests you may have. And I always recommend including your pets!

Any photo session is best when treated like a date, a family outing, whatever it may be. even though it’s planned and curated in some ways, it’s still an experience to look back on and have good memories from! I prompt and guide you through poses so you don’t have to worry about posing. The more we can roll with the punches, like the weather changing/picking a new location, the better the photos will be. As a photographer, I need and looove to be prepared for anything during a session, but. I also try not to take things out of our control too seriously to keep the session fun! Presence is key :)
