Ian and Lexi’s Surprise Proposal in Boulder was stunning. These two were out for a morning hike with their dogs Gonzo, Murray and Hank. I arrived early to wait for them near some trees off of the trail. Ian had planned everything ahead of time, including a friend planning to cancel on them so that they could go on this hike!

The sun was low, there weren’t many other people on this hike, so it was a magical experience. To see people I’ve never me tor just met profess their love to each other in the mountains on a Thursday morning was so special.

The gratitude I have for my work seems unexplainable sometimes.

Being able to photograph life events is special enough! And to think back on all of the moments and decisions that have led me here is what makes me feel so much joy.
