All Boy. All Day. - Cannon Beach Family Session (PNW Sessions)

And I mean it. There’s nothing like two little dudes to ALWAYS keep you on your toes. They never stop. They never stop the playing, they never stop the running, the getting in to anything and jumping on everything. Its a weird thing for me, being a girl mom, but I sort of appreciate the chaos for what it is. Fun. And what a childhood to remember with the playing and the imagination, and also a little of the daredeviledness if that is even a word. These boys are perfect in this environment, on the coast, running down the beach, building dams, smashing them to bits. Bare feet and all.

A beautiful moody Oregon Coast family session - Cannon Beach {Pacific Northwest Sessions}

Rain or shine, when you are at the coast, you run in the sand. Pants rolled, wild hair, salt air. These Cannon Beach photography sessions give me life. This year was so much fun, with some of the best people. Love.

A Foggy Motherhood Session - Cannon Beach, Oregon {Pacific Northwest Sessions}

There is nothing like a beautiful fall day on the Oregon Coast. Nothing like hanging with your people. Even if its just you and your person. Mom and boy. What a duo.

The Drama of Children's Photography, Denver Colorado

This is eleven. This is a pivotal time. This is a time of turmoil, yet also a time of beauty with a little bit more of self realization. It’s a strange time, indeed.

Colorado Wildfire Season - Mama and Me Sessions, with a little bit of Dad

The skies here in Denver have been a little wild lately. Its not great for breathing, or for allergies, but it sure does make for some amazing light. Mix that in with some lovely souls, and its gold all around. ❤️❤️❤️

A new addition, a beautiful Momma - Silverthorne Colorado

We had a little get together recently with some local photog friends up in Silverthorne, Colorado. The nice thing with these get togethers is that we all have different styles, different perspectives, and of course different editing. Each image from each photographer looks genuinely different and this amazing family gets the benefit of being able to see all of it, have a little party, make some fun memories, and keep the photographs forever. I just love all of these and I hope that I have been able to provide a pretty piece that will be cherished. Thanks for letting me join and thanks Danielle, for letting me capture you, your littles, and your beautiful family. As well as that bump. Congrats!

An old friend.....A Las Vegas Family.

Sometimes people come in to your life for a reason. Other times, people STAY in your life for a reason. Its rare, long lasting friendships. People change, they grow, they go through their own experiences that others will never ever know about. It’s refreshing to have the people in your life that know about your history, inside and out, so that there really aren’t many secrets that you keep from one another. There is no judgement, there is no competition, there is no hiding. You can be completely yourself with one another, because they know you. They know your crazy family because they would spend months, day and night during the summers at your house, or vice versa. You would see the disfunction equally rampant, you would experience the parts that you were too young to understand, you would get in the same predicaments because you were always together, running amok in a small town with very little supervision. You have little inside jokes, little phrases, little reminders all of the time of what your friendship meant.

And now you can look back together, having your own children, and ask yourselves, how the efff did we survive and actually become the okay people that we are today? Now you can get together after a year, or years and start off exactly where you left off. That to me is just the perfect definition of a friendship. Where your friendship withstands hardships or changes or even absenteeism, but still can bounce right back and move on without hard feelings as a mutual thing.

Thats what this person is to me. She is my past, but she is also part of my present, and part of my future. My dear friend, and the extension of her, her imperfectly perfect family, that is also now a part of me and my mess of a family.

We are cake and pie and our families are the frosting and the fillings.

A dreamy sunrise beauty session - just outside of Denver Colorado

What a beautiful! And what a treat.

Treat yourself. Make yourself feel good. It’s important.

A collective boudoir session - Sugarhill Studios, Longmont Colorado

There is nothing like getting together with other creatives that are in your profession. A profession that you love and that you always want to be growing, and improving. Our group was able to meet this last week at Sugarhill Studios in Longmont Colorado to shoot these amazing women that were brave enough to sit in front of our camera and let us see in to their souls. This is community and unity. We are not competition, we are sharing our secrets, holding very large flimsy reflectors for one another, pushing each other to get a specific angle or a specific pose. It is truly an experience of growth to be in this environment particularly when there are no expectations. These Unraveled Academy shindigs are perfection.

Hello 2020.

I don’t know about you, but I personally could not wait for 2019 to be over. We had so many highs and lows, with the lows always more potent and stinging. This year I’d like to settle more, to find peace, to do some more soul searching, do more traveling, and take more time for quiet reflection. I won’t share my resolutions because, well, that’s just not me, but I will say that I plan on giving myself more attention and more forgiveness this year. Happy New Year friends.

A Sale. To End the Decade.

What I want for you. I want you to be able to have the digital photographs to put on social media, to keep on your phone for personalization, to text to your families so that they can do the same, but I also want you to have something to hold. Something that you can physically pass over and on to your family one day. We all have the best intentions for these babies, but how often - if ever - these days in this technological climate do we actually print out our photographs. The day to day ones on my phone, never. So I want to give you guys an opportunity to get in the shot this year with your kids or your lover (I said it) and then I really want you to get some of these images printed. I want them on your walls or on your coffee table so that your whole family can see them and see everyone together in just a very little, albeit very important moment in all of your lives.

So I am offering a sale, for my local friends in the Denver area, until December 31, 2019 on all of my collections for 2020, but with the largest savings (over $750) going toward the packages with the the most beautiful prints and albums eva! You guys, it is my fault that I don’t show you enough, but you will not believe the difference between drugstore or even online image printing compared to professional printing that is done and overseen by me, the actual picture taker so that your images are printed the way that they are supposed to be. With care and with love. Not to mention the CORRECT COLORS AND HIGHEST QUALITY.

If you had planned on getting onboard with a mama & me, a family session, or a couples session in 2020, now is the time to hit the “oh what the hell” button.
