I had so much fun capturing these family photos in Twin Lakes with my friend and fellow photographer, Kimi. It was quite cold with fresh fallen snow and beautiful sunshine. Her whole family was adorable.

This extended family session made me fall in love with the scenery in Twin Lakes, Colorado. The tall pines, glimmering water, and snow capped peaks are quintessential 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!

While this family had been to Colorado many times, this was their first visit to Salida. I gave them a few different options for locations because the scenery around here is so varied and spectacular. I’d been wanting to shoot at this property and was so glad when they choose this location in the valley. We explored the forest edges, fields, and creek area to find different backdrops. This sweet high school senior was the star of the shoot, but her family (and new puppy!) also came along for the adventure.

This summer Janet and Carl celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary at Mount Princeton Hot Springs Resort and hired me to capture photos with their adult children and their families. They have a family cabin in the area and knew they wanted to stay near Mount Princeton and the Chalk Cliffs. We picked a spot in the forest nearby to capture most of the photos and then snapped a few more at Mount Princeton Resort before they enjoyed a celebratory dinner. Everyone was so fun and easy going. I won’t forget this sweet shoot anytime soon!

We 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!

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!
