Confidence is a gift that doesn’t always have an ‘on’ switch, which is why I’ve decided to inspire you RIGHT NOW, right here.

Confession: Photographing Dawn always makes me nervous. And it’s because she was one of my first clients, my first cheerleader, supporter… I’ve been photographing her for the last 8 years, and in the back of my mind, I think “what if she doesn’t like her photos this time?” And that even happened once. And the …
Last month the publishers of Builder magazine asked if I could go photograph the new and upcoming Bucking Horse community. Deadline, check. Budget, check. A little puzzled as to someone would pick me to photograph architecture, I said, “You have looked at my website, right? You saw my work?” Yes, they said, and send over …
Seems to me that high school is a time of figuring out who you want to be in life. So from day to day you try on different costumes, different ideas, different ways to be. One day you go bright blue eye shadow and the next day you try thick black eyeliner. Some things you …
Recently, a client of mine posted on Facebook a question about why she’s seeing so many head shots with hands in them. Chins resting on a hand, on hands on a face, etc. She didn’t like them and wanted to see head shots without the hands… and hopes it’s not widespread trend. To which the …
In just the last week or so I have experienced a handful of things have me thinking about caring and commitment. What does it take for you to care about something? And why is commitment so unattractive to so many of us? The latest event I experienced was learning of someone's incredible hardship. Matt and …
We’re having our first snow here in Fort Collins, and it’s got me in the mood to go outside and shoot some wintery family and couples’ portraits. The white washed landscape is a beautiful, clean canvas that really makes you pop. The rosy cheeks that come with the cooler air are adorable… not to mention …
Carrie is a stunning redhead who came into my studio a couple years ago for headshots. Since that time, she met Brian and they got engaged in September. We're so lucky to have had the sweet, warm fall we've enjoyed here in Fort Collins. We were out at the end of October in 80 degree …
I see family portrait photography as an opportunity for a parent to work with an artist to create custom artwork that features the people you love most. There are so many details that go into making a great photo, beyond the moment of the click. 1 – First, you have to choose a photographer. It’s a …
Over the last few months I've been developing a relationship with the staff at Out Front magazine in Denver. Since other people's sexuality and gender expression is such a non-issue for me, it didn't dawn on my that it was an issue for others until I photographed Ariel and Collin's wedding in May. Ever my …

She’s a champion of female empowerment and draws her inspiration from her fascination in people.

Dylan, age 9, and Jackson, age 10, are a couple of spunky kids who love their mom more than they’d like to admit. Nora was given a gift certificate for portraits with me, and scheduled a session in the park for her and her kids. We walked around, played, chatted and photographed the fun and …
For this adorable family photo session, I decided to showcase the photos in a little movie about Frankie and her family. With infants, you never know what they’re going to do. Sometimes they’re so upset, that I’m grateful to get one happy moment. Of course, the upset ones are pretty cute too. Other times, they’re …
Oh man was I nervous when I scheduled a session to photograph Jean… Jean Trebek that is. Wife of Alex…? You may have heard of Alex Trebek? Yeah, so I was a bit nervous. Nail biting, cold sweating, telling myself about how she puts on her pants one leg at a time just like everyone …
People tend to think that since I’m a photographer, I must take my camera everywhere with me. Well, I don’t. My SLR is big and heavy and fragile. And I like to travel light. I don’t even take my whole wallet with me if I don’t have to… much less my camera! AND, I always …
