Why I Love Documentary Sessions

One day, your child will look for photos of you. Not the perfectly posed, filtered versions—but the real you.

The way you held them. The way you looked at them.
Dad's Saturday morning pancakes.
Your favorite picnic spot and going barefoot in the creek.
Sunrise coffee on the front porch with your husband.
Bubbles and popscicles every day in the summer.

I believe the most powerful stories are the ones we live - the raw, unscripted moments that make up our real lives.

I want to give you more than just pictures. I want to give you reminders of the magic in your everyday.

Just like these photos are to me.

Plants are my therapy and every room in my house has 30+ potted plants.

I crave sunshine and nature - there's a reason we live in Colorado!

We have ducks, a dog and a tortoise.

I've known I wanted to be a photographer since high school.

What I Believe

The best moments are unposed and unfiltered.
Time moves too fast—let’s freeze the moments you never want to forget.
You deserve to be in the story, not just the one telling it.

Whether it’s the raw intensity of birth, the quiet snuggles of a newborn, or the beautiful mess of family life, I’m here to document it all.

Day-in-the-life of us in 2021

A different house, a different season, a different time for us. The kids were younger, wild, and life consisted of lots of laundry, time in the kitchen, and reading books.

Day-in-the-life of us in 2017 - One Week Postpartum

We lived in a different house, in a different state, in the sweet fog and bliss of postpartum.

These are the moments that only grow sweeter with time.

I knew that first week after my second baby was born would be a beautiful blur—a fog of love, exhaustion, and new beginnings. I wanted to remember it all through photographs.

The first days of being a family of four. The tenderness of bringing him home, of settling into the space where our love would grow. Slow mornings in nature, quiet afternoons in the garden, curled up with books in our backyard tent, sweet newborn on my chest, even the toddler tears are some of my favorite pictures. Just living our simple life in the most meaningful ways.

This was almost a full day in the life session, and I will treasure these images for a lifetime. These ordinary moments bring me so much joy to relive. Because they grew too fast and the little baby is already nearly 8!
