If you know me or have read anything on this website, you know motherhood is a theme that’s always on my mind. Being a mom is the most important role for me. Throughout my journey, I’ve loved seeing how motherhood is different for every woman. Yet there are universal truths too.   I’ve studied motherhood […]

Family photography is one of the best ways of documenting growth and change in your kids and your family as a whole throughout the years. I adore seeing clients year after year and looking back on how their love for each other and bonds change from year to year. I met this family for the […]

My newest niece Clara came to see me at 12 days old for her newborn baby pictures. She was due in early June and my other sister-in-law (the baby of the family!) was scheduled to be married June 15th! Clara’s big brother’s and sister all came in their own time, the latest being born the […]

I loved this Old Town Fort Collins family session! We worked quickly due to a light sprinkle but I had a blast with these sweet girls and their parents! The colors and textures in Old Town make such a fun background. The Lucas family picked such great outfits to pop against urban backdrop. Don’t you […]

While we’ll definitely hit up a lot of those again this year, there are few new thing we’ll be trying too! 1. Fairgrounds Splash Park […]
