Mother-Daughter Adventure at Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve

What a fun session with Chelsea and her almost 2-year-old daughter at Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve, especially in January. After the arctic air forced us to postpone once, we lucked out with a balmy and sunny afternoon. Chasing the little one as she ran through the sand was a blast! The dramatic shadows and light made for some special photos and memories.

Cottonwood Pass Adventure Engagement Session in Buena Vista, Colorado

You can’t really beat a summer evening on the top of Cottonwood Pass. The views seem to go on forever. Sam and Jess reached out months ahead of their September trip to Colorado about an adventure session. We got to know each other better as we explored the area and they are just all around great people. I loved how Jess wore hiking boots with her summery dress. I appreciate getting to spend time with wonderful people in spectacular places.

Monarch Pass Sunset Adventure Session in Salida, Colorado

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.

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!

Summer Sunset by the River Family Adventure Session in Salida, Colorado

I 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.
