This session was so different from the maternity sessions I’ve photographed before since it was in my studio downtown (KINDLE Photo Studio & Event Space) instead of outdoors. Because of that, it ended up being one of my favorite maternity sessions ever. I’m always after doing new things and creating something special to each person, […]

The lighting was so perfect in my downtown Colorado Springs studio for this 2-year milestone + mommy and me session for Charyce and MaKai. Their outfits were beyond perfect too and we just had so much fun! Now that I’m a mom myself, I understand on a much deeper level just how special images like […]

While I adore this location for family photos in Colorado Springs, it can be a bit of a challenge on a very sunny day because it’s so open. For the Blazis family’s session we totally lucked out with a very cloudy, but still bright, evening that softened all the colors and allowed us to shoot […]

The great thing about growing up in Woodland Park, Colorado, even though I live in the Springs about 30 minutes away, is that I know the area like the back of my hand! Lots of people vacation there as it’s a great family getaway that’s close to much of the midwest, but not too remote. […]

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 last time I took family photos for the Wilsons was at Rocky Mountain National Park in Colorado. We know each other from Kansas City though, so it was fun to capture them in the Crossroads district and at the Liberty Memorial there this time! This session was for their middle son’s senior photos as […]

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 […]

This sweet family found me several years ago via a mini session event I did and they’ve hired me about every six months since! It’s been so fun to watch their family grow and get to know them a little bit more each time. We’ve even become friends throughout the process! While I’m based in […]
