Win is 1
I had the pleasure of spending a couple of hours with little Win and his mama on his birthday–I am in love with this little boy.

Claudia and Alex had the quintessential Denver wedding. They stayed and prepped at the Crawford hotel, had their first look and drinks in Union station and had their ceremony at Blanc–one of Denver’s finest venues in the heart of the RINO district.
Claudia and Alex spent their day how everyone should–relaxed, with their best of friends and drinks in hand. It was a party all day.



















































































I literally have about 200 blog posts in queue. And while I’m not big on New Year’s resolutions, I will say that I have a goal of cranking out 2 or 3 posts a week once things slow down a bit, which should be around the first of the year–so I guess I’m resolved. Today, however I’m skipping ahead 199 posts to get this one out because the subject matter moves me. On top of photographing the words cutest twins, Rory and Redding (I mean, seriously), the shoot itself felt authentic as a capture of a day in the life of a little Denver family around the holidays. Christmas cookies, the tree, cold weather, woodland creature sweatpants– I wish I would have had these fleeting Christmas seasons captured more in my own life, and plan to do so in the future. I’m a sentimental, Christmas sap and there’s something so magical about the month of December. Alas, it’s gone until the following Christmas when the kids are an entire year older–and what a difference a year can make… Do yourself a favor and skip the samey-samey “fall colors” family portrait next year and instead, capture some real-life magic.

































Seniors who contact me want something far different from the “smile against a tree” senior portrait. Hanna, who thinks outside the box is a fashion wiz–and I adored this about her and her sweet personality. Absolute darling!



























Let me just start by saying that Sara and Kenny opened the can of worms, so to speak, of me re-entering the world of wedding photography. I was done. I had sworn off shooting weddings for eternity (okay, maybe a little dramatic here). But then Sara got engaged, and obviously I had to make an exception. Sara is like family. Her sister Caitlin is my “soul sister”. Caitlin was my personal assistant for 3 full years–doing everything from running errands, to editing weddings, to shooting along side of me through many a tough gig. . I LOVE HER. And I LOVE HER SISTER. Sara is the yin to Caitlin’s yang. She’s the best sister and friend that Caitlin could have ever asked for. Sensitive, sweet, thoughtful, I want to adopt her. And then, there is Kenny. Wow–Kenny might genuinely be one of the kindest most honest man I have ever met. This is not hyperbole. He is an incredible man (not bad on the eyes, either). He is an insanely talented musician and the front man of Natural Geometry (he even laid down some tracks on the day of the wedding–see below).
I watch Kenny and Sara and all of their family and friends and I yearn to know them more. Their vivacity is contagious, and their loyalty, fierce. I am so honored that I got to be a part of this perfect union and beautiful wedding day.




































































































Love is something that I believe can not be defined. In fact I looked up the definition in the dictionary before writing this and it was almost esoteric: 1.)An intense feeling of deep affection 2.) verb: to feel a deep romantic or sexual attraction to someone. So basically, by definition you CAN love somebody you meet at a bar or have just known for a few hours. The word and definition of the word, Love seem pale compared to the connection I see when Julia and Craig are together. They have something DEEP–something more organic and destined than Webster’s definition. It’s Love, of course, it just can’t be felt or described by anybody other than Julia and Craig. It’s simply just there–a beautiful connection so conspicuous and pure, it’s captivating. Julia and Craig’s wedding day was a celebration of this magic–the union of these two souls who are clearly made for one-another. The wedding day felt as equally pure and honest, and will surely go down as one of my favorites.
Congratulations, Julia and Craig. You guys have “it”. Thank you for letting me witness the magic. xo




























































































Making a decision to have a child–it’s momentous. It is to decide forever to have your heart go walking around outside your body.
