Bess & Preston’s Vail Evening Wedding

Winter is for organizing, connecting with new clients, and catching up with others. Nate and I both get to grow and learn new techniques, and I get to catch up with many of our first year project clients. Jen and Tim let me make suggestions and they always go with the flow, personality...

Logan is nine months old, and she and her wonderful family are taking part in a modified first year project. Seeing them every few months, and seeing Logan grow, has been amazing. We headed out into the February sun for a playful park session, and Logan’s energy and spunk did not disappoint. ...

Chris’ proposal to Lisa…and engagement photos!

Every photographer has a mental list of shoots that they would just LOVE to do. For example, if you are having a traditional Indian wedding ceremony and are actually riding in on an elephant, call me, we’ll shoot your wedding for peanuts (get it, elephant, peanuts…I’m hilarious!). The same thing goes for anything at...

I’ve known that Candis and Greg...

Mattie gave me a call...
