Your Beautiful Story Told
A Bit about sessions with me

We are a team. We create true moments and capture true emotion. This can look anyway it needs to. Your silly, sweet, serious, joyous, moody, and maybe even a bit wild children are welcome with me. I can handle it all. We have enough space and time to honor what makes your family uniquely yours. I also offer a few packages to honor different budgets, lifestyles and family dynamics. I want to ensure that if you would like to work with me, you have the opportunity to.

MOMENTS MATTER | HEIRLOOM SESSIONS
These sessions are a brand new offering.. This is a very personal experience where lifestyle meets documentary. This means we will largely capture you with your children cuddling, playing, and doing all the things that you do most in this season of life. That also means we will be capturing all moments that mean most to you and your sweet family.
These can be hosted up to 90 minutes away and are meant to honor your special connection as a family.
We celebrate the beauty in the every day by capturing all of the precious details big and small. These are hosted in your home, where you feel most safe and comfortable. There is no need to get dressed up but these sessions are a true reflection of who you are. I will help you plan and hold your hand through
the process but there's no pressure for perfection.
If you can imagine it, we can likely capture it. These sessions are meant to be heirloom sessions. The kind of images you pass down for generations. The kind of images that show your children not only how you were but who you were. They help you reflect back on this season and remember exactly where you were and what your life felt like.
Whether you are hoping to capture brand new life with your newborn or celebrating the completion of your family this session is a perfect way to record your own family history and say we were here.

Mama & Me
If you want to celebrate this sweet season of Motherhood, this is the perfect package. These sessions are unscripted. There is light direction but the purpose is for you to simply come and love on one another. Our time together is full of cuddling and exploring. It doesn't matter if you are a new mother or have adult children, I encourage you to book. I have been hosting these sessions for over a decade now as Motherhood is such a muse to me, being a mother of 9 myself. I feel women do not step in front of the camera enough with their children and I want so much for you to have such a special memento to look back on and honor such a too-short time of your life.
Also Included Is:
A gorgeous online gallery of images containing 20 images for you to download + print to your heart's content.
Hands on Styling and help preparing for your session.
You are welcome to bring your own Mama as well.
Children of all ages are welcome.
We host these in a gorgeous foothills location near Fort Collins, CO. There are a few really beautiful choices.

These will return to full price beginning July and on.
This year I am diving deeper and widening my range of connection I would love to capture. I want different stories. I want your story. I am broadening my session offerings to reflect this and will be building my portfolio this year. This means that I will have new packages available but first we begin the portfolio building phase. Traditionally I have photographed mostly families, but I will opening up to couples, engagements, small ceremonies and elopements. This means deep discounts while I build on this for the first of those looking to book me for these kinds of projects. I am excited for this new beautiful season. Do not hesitate to reach out if you have an idea you don't see here as well. I am being led by heart and curiosity this year and want to work with you.
Love Stories
For the first time in a long time I am feeling a strong pull to do something different. To do something more. I love my families, but I want to capture both new love and old love. Mom's and Dads without their kids, high school sweethearts (even still in high school) newly engaged couples, newlyweds or even the not-even-interested-in-getting-married-couples.
I am wanting to capture real, honest and raw moments from those in love. I want your playful, your sexy, your quiet, your intimate, your wild, your soulful--your silly love in front of my camera. I want all of it. The only ask is you come with an open-mind, that you're vulnerable and ready to get close.
Since I am building my portfolio and looking to add this to my offerings, I don't currently have a lot of images to represent my vision for these. This is where you come in. If you feel any of this describes you I want to hear from you. I will be hosting these sessions at a discounted price for a limited time with two options.
Included will be:
45-90 minute session depending on where we host it.
45+ full res images for you to print to your hearts content in a gorgeously curated downloadable gallery
Help with styling and planning

Documentary Sessions + intimate small weddings + Elopements
What and Why?
This year I am expanding my sessions + art to more than just sweet families adventuring in the beautiful scenic locations of Colorado. I adore these sessions, but I think it's time to grow beyond that and expand my creative wings (and my offerings.) I began my journey as a photographer documenting my own children in my own home and miss this dearly. I have resolved to be better about capturing my children as well this year, but it has lit a fire under me to begin documenting other's in a more honest + raw storytelling way. This has prompted me to offer an entirely new experience to you.
I am hoping to create magic with couples or families in a more upfront, authentic and vulnerable way. I want the opportunity to truly spend time with you and see you. To witness your connection and document your moments. There is less direction and more intention. This is about creating a time capsule and sharing a legacy for future generations of your family.
So, who are these sessions good for?
Any human willing and wanting to capture their humanity.
If you are planning to get married or renew your vows and are looking for a more documentary approach to capturing your beautiful, authentic special occasion, this is for you.
If you are a new Mama looking to capture one of this early days home, this is for you.
If you are a family that is saying good bye to a home and moving on but want to commemorate where you have been or where you are heading, this is for you.
So, basically anything meaningful to you. There is no occasion too big or small.
We can create something incredibly special together.
As a bonus, I am offering these at an extremely discounted rate to build my portfolio. These can be hosted anywhere from your backyard to the beautiful Colorado Mountains. Let's put our heads together and collaborate on something profoundly important.

Authentic Moments
We will spend a predetermined amount of time together to really capture the kind of honest and authentic images you are envisioning. These images will be less directed and more centered around your personality and unique connection + relationships. I want the real, raw mess. I want the beauty that is entirely unique to you. I want to capture all the things you think you will remember, but maybe won't.
Intimate Occasions
Believe it or not , this doesn't have to be a formal occasion to be special. This could be your first whole day home as a family or the one year anniversary since bringing your pet guinea pig home. It could be the fourth date with your special person or a best friend picnic in your living room. It could be your 32nd birthday or moving into your brand new home. It could be an elopement or small wedding in your parents front yard.
The sky is the limit.
Meaningful Locations
Speaking of your parents front yard, we can host your session there. Or in your backyard or the library where you met the love of your life. It could be downtown where you hang with your friends for girl's day or on your living room sofa during movie night. It could literally be anywhere you want to go, so long as it means something to you. We could take a walk around you neighborhood or head to the mountains. I am open to it almost anything.
Centered around YOU
This means you can wear what you want, do what you want. You can be who you are and be as creative as you like. Want to get dressed to wear 80's prom dresses and hang out in your bath tub? Cool. Want to wear blue jeans and that college t-shirt you refuse to throw away? Great. Want to style yourself and your family in a way that screams THIS IS WHO WE ARE! Yes. These do not need to be curated or perfect. They just need to be authentic.
My Own Family | My Why
I used to religiously document my children for years and years. It began before I decided to offer sessions to families outside of my own. As a mother of nine (my oldest being in her early twenties and my youngest being just months old) I understand the impermanence of life. I understand how much our moments matter. How quickly time does flee and how much we think we will remember, but cannot. I know what it is to love wholeheartedly and live what feels like a thousand lifetimes.
It has only been the last couple of years I have slowed down documenting my own life, but will be picking up again and sharing them more often. My love for my family is the true reason I know how much these images matter. It is the reason I am in turn so passionate about capturing these moments for you. They have taught me why photography is so incredibly important. This is the one tangible thing we have to hold onto when each season of our life passes us by. It is also the one tangible thing we can pass onto generations after us.
