Telluride Winter Ski Proposal

Yesterday I was reminded of how, as a photographer, the feeling of shooting a proposal is very similar to the feeling of shooting a wedding. And it makes sense! Both are big moments in the lives of a couple taking meaningful steps in their commitment to each other. As I got ready to drive to Telluride for my proposal clients, …

Silverton Elopement During Peak Wildflower Season

This was the session I didn’t know I needed in my life! Picture this: me, a new mom without much time to explore, adveturing over mountain passes, up forest roads, arriving at  GPS coordinates greeted by Claire and Sam who immediately handed me a 6 pack of Colorado craft beer as a gift. And then off we went to explore …

Accessible Locations for Photos in Telluride

I’ve spent a lot of time over the past few years exploring the mountains in San Miguel County to find gorgeous, off-the-beaten-track spots for photos. I absolutely love adventure sessions! That said, not all of my clients are physically able to hike to a remote spot, and a lot of my clients’ children have nap schedules or limited patience for …

Cynthia & Dan | Mountaintop Boulder Colorado Elopement

When Cynthia and Dan asked me to be their wedding photographer, I knew that being a part of their day would be a unique honor. I met both of them when we were all working at The Kitchen in Boulder a few years back.  I always had a sense that both of them were such wonderful humans. Cynthia left The …

2020 Year in Review

I have been incredibly fortunate to maintain stability and health, …

Mya & Laron | Venice Beach at Sunset

These photos of Mya and Laron were totally spur of the moment. I was out walking with my brother, sister in law and adorable baby niece Isabelle on the Venice Boardwalk in Los Angeles (it was Isabelle’s first time seeing the ocean!) when I saw these two skating together. I introduced myself, asked if I could take a few photos …

Paige, Erik & Addi | Joyful Telluride Couples Session

I had the absolute best time with Paige, Erik and Addi during their Telluride couples session.  I’m sure it’s obvious, but there was so much laughter the whole time. And their joy was absolutely infectious! Telluride had just gotten its first few storms, so the winter wonderland effect was in full swing. Paige chose the Telluride Valley Floor for our …

Babes in the Canyon

What could be dreamier than getting weird and artsy in the desert with these babes? Polly and Tessa are two of my best friends in Ridgway, and this felt less like a session and more like making art in a beautiful place with people I love. To get to this location, we drove from Ridgway to Dominguez Escalante Canyon which …

Chilly & Romantic Telluride Sunrise Couples Session

I met up with this gorgeous couple for a sunrise session on a chilly December morning, in downtown Telluride. Altitude sickness and a white-out blizzard that lingered in the San Juans were our challenges for this session. But we moved our plans from sunset to sunrise after the snow had settled and after Tia and Jeremy were acclimated to the …
