Explore the Great Outdoors | Boulder Family Photographer

at-home session

Listen Linda… if you haven’t seen Mateo asking for cupcakes, please watch it and then come back LOL.  I have created the strongest brand image for IN-HOME family sessions that I can.  So much so, that when I post the occasional image taken outside, some fellow photographers are DMing messages of encouragement for being ‘outdoorsy’ […]

Boulder Family Film Photography | Disappointing scan day

Because while the best part of my job is continuing to see my clients year after year, it’s certainly a […]

Boulder Family Photographer – Merry Davenport Christmas

I had an amazing 6 hours documenting Sharee and her dapper little human sidekick Brayden. Shameless plug: If you or ANYONE you know is in the market for a fabulous Colorado wedding photographer, she is […]

Boulder Family Photography – Waking up with the V Family

at-home session

What do I tell you.  Clients who want to start their sessions in PJs with pancakes are my favorite kind of people.  The fact that Nora recently turned 1 and just started walking was icing on the cake.  Spoiler alert: we did not actually have cake, but if you want to see how we spent […]
