Ted was not immediately convinced that the studio was his idea of a good time — and honestly, that’s completely fair. New smells, new sounds, new space… it can be a lot, especially for a cat. Ted took his time, stayed cautious, and made it very clear that he was going to move at his […]

Duke doesn’t play fetch — he lives it. From the moment his paws hit the grass and his Dad makes the first throw, everything else fades away. The frisbee becomes the plan, the goal, and quite possibly the meaning of life. Duke is an Australian Shepherd with laser focus, endless athleticism, and a joy for […]

Watching families return as they grow is one of the quiet joys of my job as a newborn photographer. I first photographed Dutton when he was a newborn ( see here), and getting to welcome this family back to the studio with baby Hudson felt both familiar and brand new at the same time. I […]

This session was layered and meaningful — the kind that unfolds slowly and reveals the heart of a family in between moments of movement, laughter, and connection. Pepper may be the smaller of the two, but she carries herself like she knows exactly who she is. Curious, alert, and always tuned in, she brings a […]

Harrison’s senior session was the kind of experience that reminds me why I adore photographing people at such meaningful milestones. I don’t take on senior sessions very often, but after spending an afternoon with Harrison, I’m seriously thinking that needs to change. His easygoing personality, natural confidence, and the effortless fun he brought to every […]

From the moment little Kensington arrived at the studio, her joy was contagious. With those bright eyes and the sweetest giggle, she had everyone smiling before the session even began. This milestone birthday wasn’t just about celebrating her first year—it was about honoring all the love that surrounds her from her wonderful family. Kalie and […]

There’s something extra special about watching families grow — especially when you’ve photographed them before. I first met Kendall and Josh when their new daughter Renna was just a baby. Fast-forward two years, and this sweet (and hilariously spirited!) girl is now a proud big sister to baby Reid. – The first time big sister […]

There’s something truly special about being invited back into a family’s life again and again to capture their milestones. When Jade and Lucas reached out to me to photograph their newest little love, Stella, it felt like catching up with old friends. I’ve had the joy of photographing their older two, Shivaun and Finley, before […]

Every now and then, a dog comes along who just seems to know how to sit, smile, and make hearts melt. Meet Kato, an Australian kettle dog—a gentle, wise, and oh-so-handsome pup who recently enjoyed a calm and joyful photo session. His day in front of the camera was everything I love about being a […]

There’s just something about three generations all together that feels extra special—especially when one of them is a baby who has mastered the art of keeping everyone entertained. That’s exactly what happened with baby Cosette, her mom Staci, and her grandma during their downtown Grand Junction photo session. From the first click of the camera, […]
