In 2014… WE GOT MARRIED! This has by far been one of the best years of my life. I married my love and moving in together has been one of the most fun and rewarding experiences. Definitely worth the wait! We traveled to Grand Lake, Colorado for two weeks and got married in the Rocky […]

Mucho gusto Angel! A HUGE piece of my heart belongs to the families of Mexico. I simply adore most everyone I meet in Mexico and they consume a large amount of my prayer time. I checked off another thing on my bucket list this past week in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. I’ve always wanted to photograph […]

Getting to know all of your hearts and your relationships together with your fiance, spouse, children, family… its been yet another heartfelt year. 2014 has been one of the best years of my life and I […]

These girls really might be the most precious little things. Model poses, they’ve got it. Outgoing humor, they’ve got it. Rambunctiousness, they’ve got it. Cuteness, they’ve got it. Smarts and wit, they’ve got it. I easily kept mistaking them for teenagers or young adults. They were quicker in their wit and responses to my trying […]

Congratulations on such a light, heart felt wedding occasion. Sarah & Brandon are another one of my couple’s I think look just alike, and are perfectly complimentary of one another. So fun, so competitive in their sports (as you can see by their head table), and so gorgeous. I’ve been delighted that they just keep […]

Beloved sessions are genuine, fun, relaxing, ‘non-posey’, documentary, authentic. I love them. It allows me to capture you… as you! Together, individually. How he makes her laugh. Her gorgeous and contagious smile. Beloved sessions break down the wall of feeling uncomfortable in front of the camera and by interacting, we get more images that aren’t […]

What a fun environment from the appropriate colors that somehow fit Melanie & Bryan’s clothing perfectly, to their reflective chandeliers hanging above the bar, to the […]
