Denver, CO Indoor Headshot Inspiration - McKinley

I showed up at McKinley's doorstep to her holding a miniature Australian Shepherd in her arm and holding back a larger dog, saying "Annah!!! Hi! Do you like dogs?" haha

From the moment I met her, she was so energetic and welcoming. It felt like we'd been friends for years! McKinley has such a warm personality. She is a hardworking woman who knows her values and I admire her so much for that. I aim to make photo sessions as empowering as they can be. It’s important to feel confident in your body and know your worth. Even if the photos are for updated career headshots, it’s important for that confidence to come through.

. McKinley is indigenous and advocates for the rights of women as well as indigenous people at protests and rallies when she has free time. After spending a little time with McKinley for these photos, I knew we would see each other again as friends soon. I’m so grateful for our connection. I’m inspired by McKinley’s success in her career and even more, I’m inspired by her beliefs and the strong voice she uses to speak them.

This elopement at Chautauqua in Boulder, CO was beautiful. We caught a break from the cold February weather and the sun came out for a 50, 60 degree day! It was perfect. We had a little ceremony in the open area at the bottom on Chautauqua then drove up Flagstaff to take photos at some lookout points. Lauren and Ken were giddy with excitement the entire time. Telling each other “I love you” at any chance they got, and really taking the day in. I hardly even needed to prompt them for poses! I loved this winter elopement. It was a little more quiet than usual in Boulder this day, and it was magical.

Chinns Lake Colorado

Chinns Lake Colorado

This lake is beautiful and can be accessed by car or by hiking up. If driving up, you definitely need a higher lifted vehicle and a ton of confidence in your driving. The road is as narrow as a hiking trail and there is a chance you’ll see another car and have to try to squeeze past them on the cliff side. Parking is also limited at the top. Although I drove up this trail, I would recommend hiking the 2 or 3 miles for peace of mind. There are several camping spots at the top around the lake. Gorgeous views, open sky and a cool dilapidated cabin in the water.

Rachel and I met at an event hosted by a new mutual friend of ours. We chatted for a little while but really got to know each other better during this shoot! The best feeling for me is when I have more energy and excitement about my job and life after a photoshoot is over. This happens a lot and it really helps me to see that I’m on the right track with my work. I love being able to help people feel confident in their own bodies and hyping them up during a photoshoot to get the most genuine images. Rachel is graduating with her Master’s degree soon, and she is such a successful woman already. She’s juggling life events as well as working full time and planning trips for the summer with her fiance.

Cecilia and Hector eloped on the special day of 2/22/22. This was expected to be one of the coldest days so far of winter in the Denver area as well as a weekend for some of the most anticipated snowfall. I knew everything would be great as long as Cecilia and Hector were excited about embracing the cold- and they were! I was amazed at how composed they were in the 6 degree weather. Plus, it was snowing the entire time! Their adorable daughter came along as well for some photos and she was in such high sprits the whole time too! The weather conditions made this all so magical. It was so easy to see how much love Cecilia and Hector have for each other. I loved documenting this adventurous event for them.

Kelli and Chelsea were so sweet and waited so long for their wedding day to arrive. With Covid restrictions, everything kept getting postposed. Kaitlin at Kaitlin Shea Weddings was so great with coordinating new plans and making everything go smoothly. Kelli and Chelsea have the most sweet family and friends, which was not surprising once I got to know them and their wonderful personalities. I loved much emotion the day had.

I kept forgetting to post these photos and finally remembered because Kaitlin and I are getting tattoos later this month and I'm so excited. Anyway, couples with tattoos are always amazing.

Denver Boudoir Photographer

This boudoir shoot was so empowering! I loved witnessing all of the confidence that was radiating from this beauty. She contacted me a week or so before our session and let me know what she was looking for. She mentioned a few insecurities and we adjusted the posing to make her feel her best. The variety in her outfits made this shoot so fun. I love being able to support women in feeling confident in their bodies and minds.

Brian is a psychotherapist in Louisville Colorado. He has worked so hard to complete his degrees in psychotherapy and build his own business over the past few years. His welcoming and inclusive personality are great. I loved spending time with Brian for these photos and getting to know more about his business. I love connecting with other people in my community to support both our businesses.

This short session for these physical therapists at Kind Rehabilitation was great. This was a 30 minute session that flew by, but was perfect for a handful of photos for each person and group photos. We met at the trailhead of Shanahan Ridge to take headshots. I focused on variety in individual poses as well as group poses for their website. Everyone was lovely to work with and be in the company of. I loved connecting and found out that one of these physical therapists used to live 5 miles away from my hometown in Illinois! Having little conversations throughout a session is a necessity for me. This is how I connect with strangers and it’s how I’m able to get genuine photos of each person.

Taylor and Keith are always my favorite couple in Colorado to go to the mountains and take photos for. They include their cats at home, then we get to go on a little adventure with the dogs. Taylor and I met a few years ago when I first moved to Colorado and we worked in Boulder together. Her friendship has been so meaningful to me. I always learn something new when we’re together. Her passion for political activism and indigenous rights in inspiring. I’ve loved watching her and her husband grow as people and to be able to document their relationship a little bit each year. <3

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.
