Being a brand photographer often comes with the need for product images as well as people. I can’t think of a more fun product to photograph than jewelry for a long-standing, local gallery! Squash Blossom is located in Old Colorado City. According to their website, they represent Native American culture authentically and respectfully, ensuring their […]

To say I was excited to host my first personal brand mini session event at my new studio would be an understatement! I had so many dreams of making something like KINDLE Photo Studio & Event Space come to life. This first mini session event was like the start of a dream come true! Ellie’s […]

Photo sessions with mountain backdrops are admittedly tough in the mornings from Colorado Springs. Since the mountain views are to the west, morning light just blinds the subjects instead of glowing behind their heads as it does in the evening. Thankfully, I’ve learned the trick of doing more candid photos of people interacting with each […]

The Lofthouse Air BnB was the perfect location for Kelli’s personal brand session! She needed some images in action. So, we captured her using her hair products, laptop, and notebook as well as got some incredibly fun shots with her hat, the newspaper her salon was in for winning an award, and a cozy blanket […]

On the coldest day I think I’ve ever photographed a session, I got to take these Valentine’s Day themed baby announcement photos for Heather and her family! We chose this spot at Garden of the Gods because it has the cool rock arch area and the Pikes Peak mountain view right next to each other. […]

When I used to live in Kansas City, Kate was my hair dresser. I got to watch her transition from working a booth at a salon in Westport to opening her own tiny salon, to moving spaces TWICE more as she expanded and became more successful! l always tell her the next move should be […]

While I’m based in Colorado Springs now, I lived in Kansas City for 6.5 years and that’s really where my photography journey took off. It can be slightly stressful with unpredictable weather, but I still love to do photo sessions for all of my past clients whenever I’m in town. Early last month I got […]

During the stay-at-home order in early 2020, I started to write down everything I’ve learned in the past decade about running a photography business. I just wanted to see where it took me and the result was my Photography Business Foundations + Accelerator course that just went live in May of 2021! After I had […]
