This engagement session had the most incredible golden hour and sunset views from the Continental Divide! We hiked around Monarch Pass near Salida, Colorado and got to take in views in all directions. Brittany and Brent got more and more comfortable as the session went on and the light just kept getting better, too.
Read MoreI love spring sessions in Salida! It rained so much this year and the landscape looked greener than I’ve ever seen it before. This sweet family recently moved to town and I had fun introducing them to this local property.

Read MoreI’m so glad this couple booked their winter engagement session in Salida, Colorado. Jackie and Andrew are both from Michigan and drove all the way to Colorado for the second year in a row for a winter vacation. They booked a half-day adventure for engagement session in Nathrop/Salida. We came up with a bunch of awesome locations to visit before sunset, which is one of the many advantages of a longer session!
Read MoreThis couple with their three dogs lucked out with gorgeous weather for their afternoon adventure session in Buena Vista, Colorado. We first met at the trailhead for one of their favorite hikes. After we hiked a short distance, we returned to our cars and drove to Cottonwood Lake. As if by magic, we caught the last of the day’s rays of sunshine as clouds rolled into the mountains. It was beautiful! Their dogs had lots of personality and were fun to wrangle, too. It was so nice meeting and working with this local couple!
Read MoreThis was a fun half-day adventure session with the goal to capture Kristina’s love for our region along with her pup, Lucy. Lucy is a rescue from Leadville, Colorado and has been Kristina’s best friend and hiking companion ever since.
We met before sunrise at a trailhead and hiked to an aspen grove and meadow in the mountains. Can you tell Kristina and Lucy have a special bond? I think I have a new found love for Chihuahuas too. These photos melt my heart!
Read MoreMy favorite thing is to capture families in places that mean something special to them. These returning clients embraced this concept and picked Mount Molly in New Durham, New Hampshire for their family adventure this fall. Becky hiked this mountain while pregnant and it was the first hike they did as a family after their little one was born. It has beautiful views of pristine Merrymeeting Lake.
Read MoreWe met at the trailhead at 5 a.m. and began our hike in the dusk. Once we made it to the aspen groves, first light started piercing into the forest. We had a blast playing in the golden light. Clouds rolled in just as we ventured into an open meadow, but it provided a perfectly soft filter for the light. What a dream!
Read MoreI love walking along the river and was grateful for the chance to capture Avery’s family memories in such a beautiful place. We met at part of the Salida River Walk one summer evening and let the kids play along the water’s edge and under the canopy of the beautiful cottonwoods and willows while I captured candids and portraits.
