Your people. Your place. Your story.

Story-driven photography for Colorado families & couples in Boulder & Summit County—set against the places you love most.

This isn’t about perfect photos.

It’s about preserving how life actually feels.

Most people tell me the same thing before a session:

“I’m awkward in photos.”
“My kids won’t sit still.”
“We’ve never done this before.”

That’s completely normal.

My goal is to create a relaxed, comfortable experience — just enough guidance to help you feel at ease, without over-directing every moment.

The result is imagery that feels authentic, and true to you.

Sessions for families, couples, and everything in between.

  • Adventure Session & Elopements : Pricing Varies

    For the mountain lovers, wanderers, and milestone moments that deserve a little more space.

    These longer, more customized sessions are perfect for elopements, destination-style shoots, or sessions that may include multiple locations, more time, and a more personalized experience.

    Designed for stories that feel a little bigger than a standard session. Inquire directly.

  • Boulder Family Photo

    Mini Sessions: $250

    A shorter, simpler option offered only on select dates throughout the year.

    Mini sessions are perfect for families, couples, or anyone wanting beautiful updated photos in a shorter timeframe — without committing to a full session.

    There are no current mini session dates available, but you can contact me to join the list to be notified.

  • Outdoor headshots: Pricing Varies

    Creative Headshots

    Headshots that feel polished, natural, and actually like you.

    Perfect for creatives, small business owners, professionals, or anyone who wants updated photos for websites, LinkedIn, social media, or personal branding — without the stiff, overly corporate feel. See availability.

What to Wear

What you wear shapes how your photos feel.

My approach is centered on creating images that feel timeless, natural, and deeply connected — and a little intention goes a long way.
