Denver Spiritual Photographer - sound bath healing ceremony
Chelsea is a healer in the Denver area. We met in a Facebook group and connected during this sound bath and new moon ritual that she hosted in Littleton. We had a gorgeous, sunny day. It was so good to meet new friends who are also involved in the spiritual community. This sound bath was so immersive. Chelsea uses a handful of instruments and her techniques put me in such a relaxing meditative state.
It’s been such a beautiful season of life meeting new friends and making meaningful connections. I loved documenting this event for Chelsea and witnessing the magic she created.

Photography has always helped me connect more deeply and fully with people. I get to spend time with old and new friends while they feel vulnerable in front of the camera and make it a more personal, relaxing experience. I want everyone to look back at photos of themselves and remember how good they felt about themselves in that moment.

Brenda and I met awhile ago when we worked together in Illinois. I looked forward to being scheduled together because Brenda always has amazing jokes and such beautiful energy to be around. We haven't seen each other much since we live in different states now, but I know that Brenda has grown so much as she's become an incredible mother to her first daughter. Taking these photos for her was wonderful. We spent time together taking these beautiful pictures helping her feel like the empowered person and mom she is.

Colorado Engagement Photographer - Clinton Gulch Dam Surprise Proposal
Andie and I met in Illinois when we were 12 or 13. We did club gymnastics together for a few seasons, then we went off to different high schools and didn’t keep really keep in touch. At least 5 years later, Andie and I both end up in the Denver area of Colorado. We got dinner together and instantly reconnected like we had never stopped being friends. Andie is one of those people who makes you feel 10x better than you already did after spending time with her. She has amazing advice, insight and is such a supportive friend.
Our lives have changed drastically since we reconnected in Colorado last year, and now she’s engaged!!! Andie and Kevin met through mutual friends in Denver, but realized they had mutual friends in college too. So they’ve been in close proximity to each other off and on for a few years and finally connected in Colorado. I met Kevin once awhile ago at Andie’s birthday party and he was just as great as she was. We had great conversation for a few hours at that party. Five months later, I got a text from Kevin asking if we could talk on the phone sometime and told me he was planning to propose! And the next few weeks, we secretly planned everything out.
November 6th was the day! I got to the reservoir early, made friends with some fishermen, then hid near a tree and waited for Kevin and Andie. There was snow on the ground but the sun was so warm that I was wearing a t-shirt! Andie and Kevin walked around near the water, and Kevin had previously drawn a picture of the lookout he was going to propose at. So when they got to the lookout spot, Kevin showed Andie his drawing that included a sketch of himself down on one knee. Watching this unfold was so emotional and I loved it all.
There are no coincidences. Andie and I both ending up in Denver at this time of our lives was meant to be. I’m so grateful for friends like her that I’ve been able to effortlessly reconnect with and make amazing memories together.

Boulder, CO High School Senior Graduation Photos
This senior photo shoot was great. The views of the flat irons are gorgeous here and it was a nice warm afternoon. I had spent the week in Boulder dog sitting and was feeling kind of off a day or two before this session. Once I got outside and meet Martin and his Mom, everything was great. My favorite part of photo sessions are getting to know people. I love connecting and helping people feel comfortable/confident in their photos. After spending an hour together taking photos, my mood had lifted 10x higher than it was before. I’m always amazed at how powerful sunshine, nature and good energy is.

Lana is incredibly talented and I’m always impressed with what she’s working on. Her lucid dreaming business is always going to the next level and helping people mitigate depression and reach deeper layers of themselves through dreamwork. I love spending time with Lana- I’m always reinvigorated about my own business afterwards.
We took lots of photos and played with all the color that’s still here with the longer than usual Fall in Colorado.

I met Maddie & Tristin in the summer right when I started dating my boyfriend. (Tristin and my boyfriend are childhood best friends) When I met Maddie and Tristin, I remember how inclusive and welcoming they both were. Maddie sent me a text introducing herself before we all went to Wyoming for a weekend together, then we spent 3 days together and got close pretty quickly. Honestly, since that weekend in June, I knew I had an amazing group of friends for life.
Maddie and Tristin are the most kind, fun and conversational people. They met each other when Maddie interviewed Tristin for a communications company she worked for in Michigan while Tristin was living in New Mexico. After that, they started talking, dating and traveling to see each other. Eventually, Maddie decided to move to New Mexico so they could live together, then they moved to Colorado a few years later. The timing of all our lives lining up with each other has been unreal. I’m so grateful to be connected with Maddie and Tristin and to have them as some of my closest friends. Couples photos are always special, but the more emotional and personal connections with friends like this make it so much better. <3
Andrew and Estelle- Rocky Mountain Sky Pond Proposal Photographer
Andrew & Estelle - Rocky Mountain Sky Pond Proposal Photographer
I’ve only known Andrew and Estelle for about 4 months, but they are already 2 of my closest friends. They’re both such kind people. Estelle is always paying attention to details for organizing things for our big friend group and being such a good host whenever we go to hers and Andrew’s house. She lets me borrow her clothes all the time and is the best about remembering things to do for other people when they ask her for a favor. Andrew has the best energy to be around. Literally always smiling, down for any adventure and always the life of the friend group. So obviously when we all woke up early on a Saturday, Andrew was the first one up at 3:30 am to start our adventure. Our group of 9 people hiked the 11 miles to Sky Pond to see our friends get engaged! All I feel is love and gratitude for all of these beautiful people. This location was perfect for a proposal. Afterwards, we had lunch and drank some champagne together. Andrew and Estelle have been together for 8 years and I’m so happy they’re finally officially getting married.
Lindsay and Sean’s Boulder, CO Intimate Mountain Wedding
Lindsay & Sean’s Boulder, CO Intimate Mountain Wedding
Lindsay and Sean met at a comedy club one night when Lindsay didn’t really want to go out with her friends but reluctantly agreed to go. After that night, they discovered so many commonalities among their friends, values and beliefs. They are such a cool, sweet couple. They bought a house in Boulder and have been completely renovating it on their own. Gardening, setting up outdoor lights, building sheds, garages, installing countertops and flooring in the kitchen- everything!! They even renovated a van together to travel in. Despite the persistent rain on their day, it let up at the last second and they decided to have their ceremony outside as planned in the area that they built benches and a ceremony arch for! This rainy mountain wedding was beautiful.

This photoshoot with Ryann was beautiful. The last time we saw each other was in February! 6 months later, we got together to make more magic for Ryann’s business. We wanted to take advantage of the beautiful wildflowers in Boulder so we found a pretty, secluded open field to take some photos at before going to Boulder creek. I love spending an hour or so with Ryann to take photos and talk about life.
Colorado Sunrise Hike - Indian Peaks Wilderness - Lake Isabelle
Colorado Summer Sunrise Hike - Indian Peaks Wilderness - Lake Isabelle
August 6th 4:55am-7:18am
I woke up at 3:45am for this hike. I drove to Ward while listening to Clozee’s new song “Falling in Love” and thought about how grateful I am to live in Colorado and be able to go for sunrise hikes on Friday mornings. I saw a shooting star a few minutes into the drive and endless stars the rest of the way.
It was only 45 degrees when I started hiking, but it got warmer quickly. I got to the lake just as the sun was coming up and changing color on the mountains. I only saw 1 other person on the way up to the lake on this hike. It’s so healing for me to go for early morning hikes in my own company. I’m able to get out of my mind a little and be more present and grateful for all the natural things in front of me. It always takes a little convincing to get myself out of bed so early, but sunrise hikes are superior <3
Tower, Minnesota July 2021
Vacations with my family are more important to me now than they’ve ever been. It’s the only time we all actually get to full relax together. Usually, I’m the only one on vacation when I visit Illinois. So the week we all spent in Northern Minnesota doing nothing but swim, canoe, read and make meals together was incredible.
It was a restorative week of listening to my body and mind’s needs. I taught myself more about slowing the pace of the my life down and being more intentional each day. Why spend time doing things that are unfulfilling or that cause stress?
Each moment of life is magic, every moment is the most important and no moment can be relived.
I’ve spent the past 3 months or so recommitting my life to doing things that align with my beliefs and having stronger boundaries with work and rest. Because we’re humans, we are innately worthy of receiving good things and enjoying life. I do my best to treat each moment of life as a ceremony- because it is. Since shifting my thoughts to this new perspective, I’ve been able to get myself to a better mental place than I’ve been at in over 6 months, but I would not have gotten here without choosing to fully trust myself to make huge changes. It’s uncomfortable, but it’s always the perfect time to change your life <3

This wedding started at Chautauqua Park in Boulder. The ceremony was at the foothills of the Flat Irons, then we drove up Flagstaff mountains for some amazing views (including a TORNADO) before going to the Flagstaff house for their reception and dinner. Erik and Sarah are great together. They had lots of down time to be present together. Their intimate wedding was beautiful and allowed them to connect with the select few friends and family who were there for them. Boulder weddings always amaze me!

- Fatima and Roy’s Wedding - I’ve known Fatima and Roy since middle school and this was such a beautiful day to be a part of. I cried during their vows, first dances and a few other times. Weddings are so special to me. I get to watch people in love be their truest selves together for an entire day and document it all. It’s one of the most emotionally inspiring things to witness <3

Headshots at Chautauqua are always breathtaking. The flat irons and open field is such a gorgeous area. I took some photos for Jason and I was so thrilled that he wanted to include his dog. I was even more excited when he asked if I could take some photos of him with his girlfriend Tara who came along too!! Couples sessions make my heart so happy. A week or so after I sent the photos to Jason, he let me now how special the moments were between him and Tara that I captured. The little moments full of emotion between Jason and Tara give me so much hope for love and goodness in the world. This session was only about 30 minutes long but it was great.

North Avenue Beach Sunrise Engagement Session
Fatima and Roy’s North Avenue Beach Sunrise Engagement Session was beautiful. We met right before sunrise and wandered around the beach area for a few hours. Fatima and Roy have been together almost as long as I’ve known Fatima- about 7 years. They are an amazing couple, I loved documenting this engagement session for them and especially at sunrise.
