This family has stolen my heart. I love them so dearly. It’s a rare gift to be completely known and completely loved. They give me this gift.

Another Celebration
The first time I photographed Anne-Marie it was in celebration of her work being published. We did head shots in order for her to submit it for her book. It was exciting to be able to capture her for such an important event. However, I think this one probably trumps the head shots. She contacted me again this time to celebrate her engagement! It was my pleasure to document some of her and her fiance Nick’s favorite places. I hardly had to give them any directions at all which makes for some wonderful moments captured.
Another Photographer
When another photographer, who happens to be very talented, asks you to photograph her family, you feel honored and scared at the same moment. A million questions flood my head; style, technique, locations, creativity, etc. However, my very wise husband reminded me “do me”. So that is what I did. I was able to fully enjoy photographing this family. They are goofy, full of energy and love each other. It’s a great combo! I am so privileged to create photographs of their family. 
Beauty
I see beauty here. I see it beyond the obvious beauty of this sweet precious gift of a baby. I see beauty in the care and attention her nursery has. I see it in how her mommy has embraced her new role in a way she looks like she has done it for years. I see it in the way her parents are working as a team to meet her needs. I see it in the contagious smile of her parents every time they lay eyes on her. I see it in the new found love and respect her daddy now has for her mommy. I see it in the creation of a family. It’s all over the place and it was my privilege to capture it.
Surprise
I was able to pull of the biggest surprise of my life a few weeks back. I surprised my husband Jon with coordinating his best friend and his family to fly in for Jon’s ordination. It was awesome to see disbelief and joy on his face. He has not seen his best friend (or his family) for 4 years. In that 4 years we have added 4 children among the two families. It was exciting to finally have everyone together. Since both of these little girls have been born, I have been dying to photograph their beautiful blue eyes and precious smiles. I was glad when they agree to let me. It was a fun morning of getting to know each of them that much better. The whole weekend was so enjoyable and makes our hearts miss them even more in their absence. I am praying it won’t be another 4 years until I get to capture them again and hug their necks. We love them dearly!
A Gorgeous Day
You could not order a more beautiful day for a intimate outdoor wedding. It was the sort of day people dream of having when they plan an outdoor wedding. Amelia and Rob were granted that dream. Not only was the day breathtaking but the bride was as well. She glowed and looked stunning in her wedding dress. All the little details that go into planning a wedding came together and made for a nice little gathering to celebrate the marriage of Amelia and Rob.
Expressions of Love
You can easily see it. The expression of love this family gives. You might catch a glimpse of it when the two girls are interacting. You can hear it when their daddy tells them countless times in different ways how beautiful his girls are. You can see it in the joy and interaction that is a natural rhythm to this family. This family has a way of making expressing love seem effortless and it was my honor to capture them.
A Love Story
I love that this love story is 10 years in the making. I love that this love story includes 4 beautiful children. I love that this love story includes authenticity. Tim and Brittany would the first to tell you that it’s not been easy, it’s not all roses and fairy dust but it’s worth it. Their love story involves moves, job changes, career changes and lots of laughs, heart and sacrifice. Their story involves surrendering daily to God. They are willing to do the hard part of working on marriage so they can have a day to celebrate 10 years. These are the love story I truly love.
A Colorado Wedding
I was so excited when Brandon and Laura asked us to photograph their Colorado wedding. It wasn’t only because Colorado is one of my very favorite places to visit but Laura holds a dear place in my heart. I was so glad to be able to be there on her very special day. They had a perfect fall day for their wedding. Their wedding was small, which made it a nice, intimate setting. Laura’s dress was magnificent. I loved the how Brandon’s suspenders and bow-toe easily demonstrated Brandon’s natural personality. The whole day was relaxed and about enjoying the people we were their to celebrate. It’s always an honor tell the wedding day story for a great couple.
A Beautiful Day
Dave is an old friend that had a lot of influence on who my husband has come to be as a man. He has always held a special place in our heart. We were delighted when he contacted us to photograph his wedding. It was great to catch up with him and meet his beautiful bride Ashley. It was an absolutely gorgeous wedding day. The Uptown Theater was such a fun place to experience for a wedding location. The highlight of Uptown might be getting to see your name on the marque in lights for the whole world to see. Our hope is the love that was evident on your wedding day only continues to multiple with the years to come. Thanks for letting us capture your day!
