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 […]

Some sessions feel like a mix between a hike with friends and a burst of laughter therapy—and that’s exactly how it felt photographing the Ratigan family in front of The Monument. Amanda and Emmett showed up with their two kids, Carmela and Henry, plus their dynamic dog duo, Lucy the pug and Lilly the Aussie, […]

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, […]

Oliver the Dachshund and His Pack: A Pet Photography Adventure Every pet photo session has its own flavor—sometimes calm and serene, sometimes wild and goofy. Oliver the dachshund brought the best of both worlds, along with his awesome family: Sam, Alex, Max, and Cooper. With three dogs and two humans, I knew this session was […]

Baby Mabel, you are just so very cute, you take my breath away! Wouldn’t you agree? I have had the pleasure to photograph the Walton kids for a while now ( even before Ms. Mabel’s arrival,  see here). We celebrated baby sister’s arrival just two short years ago ( totally crazy to even say it!). […]

Awwww, look at these two so in love! <3 I am so very excited to bring you Jena’s amazing maternity photos! We have been planning this session for quite a while now and after jumping through a couple of life’s hoops ( and my own front steps taking me down for weeks), we made it […]

“Hi Everyone, my name is Melody, I am new around here! <3 This is my Mom, Cindy and we go to this park most every day. I LOVE IT there. We love walking around and sometimes we even RUN… and when we run we run around suuuper fast. They say mommy and I look alike […]

I literally can hardly believe my baby niece/goddaughter is heading into her HS Senior year as we speak. She was one of my first models when I decided to go full time into photography and was always happy to follow along with my ideas. Check out this sweet baby girl’s fall photo from roughly 10 […]
