Alex and Meredith | Arizona Wedding Photographer

Details...yes, its in the details that make a wedding.  Jen and I have photographed so many beautiful weddings this year and Alex and Meredith...WOW you guys know your stuff.  I could not believe all the amazing diy personal touches this wedding had.  And the fact that Meredith's Mom played a huge role in organizing and creating stunning bouquets and center pieces....made for such a beautiful and personal wedding.   This wedding party...I have to admit, was probably one of the easiest and funniest group of individuals to photograph.  Someone was always making jokes, making the others laugh...or myself or Jen...it was really just a day of happiness.  And as always, such an honor to work with kreatid photography and design. I could not ask for a better partner and more creative friend, (who also happens to be my sister Jen)  to work with.   Can not wait for 2013's weddings! 

Shove Chapel | Colorado Springs FAmily Portrait Photographer

Lena is turning 3...or all ready has at this point actually.  I began photographing this family when Lena turned one...so amazing to see the changes in her.  She used to be SO shy with me and now wanted to run, and laugh and smile with me.  That is one of the things that I love about my job...you have a 20 to 40 minute window at times to connect with a family...to make it fun for their babies.  

And I usually try and make the parents interact that way as well with their kiddos.  Why?  I also want parents to know that I am trying to capture real emotion.  An expression of happiness, or a moment where their child forgets me and focuses just on that parent loving on them.  I guess you could say that is my style...sure I pose families, buts its the in between moments where the insecurities of the camera on them (yes, most people get a little camera shy...its my job to help you forget that ;p) are forgotten.   The moment that it is real, that makes me as a photographer feel as if I'm capturing more than just a family photo.  I'm trying to capture that emotion that 10 years down the road you will want to see. 

Emsley | Colorado Springs Studio Portrait Photographer

Sweet Emsley...so gorgeous, with her big curls and big hazel eyes.  I've been photographing her since she was a tiny thing in her mama's belly.  She is turning one and we wanted a colorful and playful session...her mom brought all this fun tutu's, leggings and tutu pom poms.  It was such a fun session to photograph!
