welcome to my blog. this is where you will find some of my most recent work. explore and enjoy!
I was so excited when my cousin asked me to photograph her elopement in Whitefish, Montana last June. I arrived a few days early and captured photos on an epic hike to Iceberg Lake. S + L got married on the summer solstice at the edge of Lake McDonald in Glacier National Park. It was a beautiful day with sun and rain, tears and laughter!
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 MoreJess 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.
Read MoreI 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.
Read MoreYou can’t beat afternoon sun and peak foliage along Clear Creek in Golden, CO.
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 MoreI loved capturing photos with this family in the Seacoast this fall. The overcast skies and stunning scenery meant I could point my camera in any direction and get beautiful light and tones. I love the rocks, the trees, and historic fort features, which was especially appealing for the kids to explore. It was fun seeing them run and play.
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 MoreWhile 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.
Read MoreThis family session was a dream come true! I was so excited when my friend, Carly, requested a photo session during her family’s summer vacation in Colorado. Carly and I went through a 10-month-long Americorps program together in New Hampshire over a decade ago. We picked a spot at a lake high in the mountains not far from Salida. We snapped a few photos by the lake then walked a nearby trail to find more beautiful scenery. Plus, their son such a great little adventurer!
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 MoreThis early winter indoor/outdoor session capturing a family with a newborn and little boy was so fun. I’m grateful I got to connect with Jessie and Josh who are the local business owners of Ovierre Industries. Since December weather is a little chilly for capturing a newborn’s sweet features, we split our session between their family home and an outdoor area along the river in Salida. Even though we didn’t have snow in town in December, I always find our dried grasses pretty and the winter light magical.
Read MoreAfter the Thanksgiving holiday, I captured this extended family in their creekside backyard surrounded by the National Forest in Salida, Colorado. We made sure to capture them next to the historic barn on the property and explore down to the creek, too. It just goes to show you don’t have to go on a hike for an outdoor family adventure. We found so many different backdrops for photos from rustic fences to their beautiful aspens.
