  • Welcome to my blog!

    I am a natural-light portrait photographer based in Denver, CO who loves celebrating the story of family through my artwork. I love stories. I love getting to know a person, or a family, and figuring out who they are, where they come from, what makes them who they are.

    I have two children who bring me such a deep joy that I cannot even begin to try to describe with words. My husband is my greatest supporter and my biggest fan, in everything I do, and I am incredibly blessed to even know him, let alone be married to him. We also have a crazy Goldendoodle who provides us with lots of laughs!

    I believe that photographs take people to a place of celebration and remembrance, and that beautiful images are a family's most precious possession and heirloom.

    I have been photographing families since 2007.

You & Me

 he naps and i try to put you down.
 thinking i should get at least something done.
 you wake up,
 ready to play.
 but i don’t mind.
 because it’s you and me.

 it’s you and me,
cuddling in my bed,
as afternoon sunshine fills my room.
you’re in my bed
because you refuse to sleep in your crib.
but i don’t mind.
because it’s you and me.

playing with dolly,
hugging, clapping.
put it in the oven for eilin and me.
you and me.

and in your world,
it is just you and me.

Caleb || Denver Newborn Photography

She bounced around the room, hurried from one thing to another. Showing me her room, her toys, and her baby brother. Big sister Madelyn had lots to say. And, Caleb… he slept. Peacefully. Through it all. That’s what Caleb seems to do– he brings peace to his family. Meghan & Eli, it was a joy to capture this precious time in Caleb’s life.

Feast Your Eyes Friday || Wall Art

Ready to feast your eyes on this lovely Friday? This wall display is so original. You will definitely be wow-ed by it.

I’ve said it a few times, but I’ll say it again…  one of the greatest things about custom photography is a chance to really see your family photographs as ART!

To me, the best part of the photography experience with clients is guiding them through choosing artwork for their homes. I make sure that before a session, clients and I talk about where the photography is going to be displayed. We then talk about the style of the room, and the decor and feel. From there, we start taking pictures and creating artwork for a specific place in the home. Custom photography is your chance to commission an artist to create a one-of-a-kind piece for your home, featuring your family.

Think about what it would feel like to see your family on the wall every day as you stroll through the living room? I have two big images of my kids– one of G and one of E– up on my living room walls. It reminds me every day of what our home is for. It’s our place to celebrate our family and our story.

I am amazed by the wall art below. This is two 40×40 inch canvas prints, framed side-by-side. It is just so innovative how it is one image divided into two frames. Stunning!

Nap Time || Denver Children’s Photography

I love listening to the soft breathing, and seeing their chests rise up and down slowly. I love the stillness in our house. I love the peaceful way they roll their heads on their pillow, and the way their faces sometimes scrunch, telling me about the dreams going on inside their minds.

Feast Your Eyes Friday || Wall Art

Ready to feast your eyes on this lovely Friday?

I post about wall art because one of the greatest things about custom photography is a chance to really see your family photographs as ART!

To me, the best part of the photography experience with clients is guiding them through choosing artwork for their homes. I make sure that before a session, clients and I talk about where the photography is going to be displayed. We then talk about the style of the room, and the decor and feel. From there, we start taking pictures and creating artwork for a specific place in the home. Custom photography can be your chance to commission an artist (aka, me!) to create a one-of-a-kind piece for your home, featuring your family.

Think about what it would feel like to see your babies on the wall every day as you stroll through the living room? I have two big images of my kids– one of G and one of E– up on my living room walls. It reminds me every day of what our home is for. It’s our place to celebrate our family and our story.

So many people are hesitant to get their images up onto the walls!! Don’t be scared!! Let this following wall display inspire you. The photos are so simple, yet so breathtaking!! This display literally took my breath away. Where could you do this in your home?
