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’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 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 MoreKirsten 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!
