My little guy, Jake, is four and half years old. He is my shadow. Following me around all day. Copying everything I do. Wanting to be just like me. Today I found him sitting on the floor staring at my camera. When I walked into the room he quickly put on his pouty lip look and said, “I just WISH I could have a picture of me and my batman [...]
More About Me: The Nerdlings. Basketball: The Tale of Brain vs. Brawn Some people are born with a sleek, athletic build and reflexes of a cat that allow them to be the cool athletes that all the girls swoon over. Others are born with brains. Let’s be honest for a moment: Our little boys were born with brains. While being at the top of their class academically will serve them well [...]
Africa. It’s like my second home. I miss it when I’m not there and I feel at home when I’m there. While I am a Denver wedding photographer most of the year, I also spend a great deal of my time photographing in the extremely rural villages of Uganda, Africa. Places where they have never seen someone like me. Where there is no electricity. No flushing toilets. No television. It’s [...]
For this week’s Ask The Camera Chick question I will be answering: “How do you decide what to photograph?” When I am on the job as a Denver wedding photographer I try to capture the events of the wedding as if I were going to put the images into a story book. I want the photographs to tell the story of the day without needing to add words. I want [...]
More About Me Monday: Baking. As a mother of three little boys {and being married to a guy!} I am constantly baking and cooking for the crew. {And it truly is a CREW!} Let’s face it: In a few years I’ll have FOUR guys all taller than me living here, eating me out of house and home! I’m very nervous for the food budget which I am sure will be [...]
For those who are my friends on Facebook, you saw the hilarious video that I posted a few days ago. It was a spoof video about all the funny things that people say to photographers and it was 100% accurate! I watched it at least a dozen times and laughed so hard that tears were rolling down my cheeks. A few of my photography colleagues watched it and said they [...]
Often, when the term “destination wedding” is brought up images of Mexico, Fiji and other exotic locations come to mind. For me, I am mainly a Denver wedding photographer. However, when I take on a “destination wedding” they are usually within the United States. My most common locations are Iowa and Utah. Mainly because I have a lot of connections, friends and family in those states so I’m always very [...]
My adorable little niece, Katelyn, had her 8th birthday last week. Today our family traveled up to Fort Collins to celebrate her birthday and also to celebrate her baptism. Katelyn’s mom let her choose a dress and she has great taste for an eight year old little girl! It was a gorgeous long, white dress with the cutest little ruffle jacket over the top. Very fashion forward. I arrived about [...]
I get asked all the time why I chose to be a Denver wedding photographer. The answer is very easy: I simply LOVE what I do. I feel blessed to be able to have the opportunity to photograph what is possibly the most important day in my clients’ lives. I realize that every wedding is unique and I love hearing about all the fun details that make each wedding special. I always [...]
My snow angels. Since I’m a Denver photographer most of my photography clients are naturally in the Denver area I’m sure that you all experienced the same super snow day today that I did. My children’s school actually cancelled school for today….yesterday! I loved having the notice of the school closure but decided to keep this important information between myself and my husband. You see….kids are funny creatures. They wake [...]

Being a Denver photographer {and especially as a Denver birth photographer!} is awesome! ———- {If you did not see the post about baby Finn’s birth via c-section you can click HERE to go [...]
There are few moments in life that literally take your breath away. Today was one of those moments. A moment where I think, “Wow! I have the BEST job on earth.” Being a Denver photographer gives me such amazing opportunities! ———- I knew the day was coming so for the past few days I haven’t slept well but instead tossed and turned wondering what it would be like. You see, [...]
Every once in a while I do a newborn session where the baby literally sleeps the entire time. This was one of those. Well, that’s not entirely true…….. When we first arrived at City Park in Denver, Colorado to photograph little newborn Everett his mom wanted to do the ever-so-cute nakie photos. {You know, the ones that are only appropriate while they’re newborns….but they’re simply the BEST!} So I set [...]
