Winter Woods Outdoor Maternity Session in Durham, New Hampshire

Jess reached out last summer to share the news that she was expecting her first child with the hope that she might schedule a winter maternity session. It worked out perfectly to fit in the midst of my trip to visit family for the holiday season. We hiked through College Woods in Durham and the light was so gorgeous. Jess brought her two dogs along, including her young golden retriever puppy! I just about passed out from joy.

Autumn Afternoon Adventure in Buena Vista, Colorado

This 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!

Autumn Sunrise Hike to an Aspen Grove in Salida, Colorado

This 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!

Mountain Sunset Adventure Engagement Session in Salida, Colorado

Kirsten and Mike are a local Salida couple who hiked Mount Ouray for their first date two years ago. We decided to explore the Arkansas Hills in Salida for their engagement session, which provided gorgeous views of town, Mount Ouray, and the Collegiate Peaks. Months ago, I found a ridge line that I knew would be perfect for a sunset mountain silhouette. I’m so glad Kirsten and Mike trusted me and we had a blast!

Foggy Beach Family Adventure with a Dog-Loving Couple in Kittery, Maine

Although there’s no blue ocean in sight, I loved getting to capture the foggy Maine shore. We rescheduled this shoot due to rain and got fog instead. It ended up working in our favor because it meant no one was at the beach on a Saturday evening in August. Plus, the lighting and the fog was gorgeous!

Family Adventure Photography: Snowy Shavano in Salida, Colorado

In the heart of the Rocky Mountains in Salida, Colorado beneath the gaze of beautiful Mount Shavano in the Sawatch Range, I met a sweet and fun loving family for a winter outdoor adventure session. We even had tea time with cookies, a family tradition on every outdoor excursion. This isn’t a requirement for future shoots but it’s a damn good idea!
