It was my very first time photographing this lovely family and we couldn’t have had a more beautiful day for our fall family session! We chose to meet at Cheesman Park at the beginning of November, and as a pleasant surprise, we found that some of the garden’s roses were still in bloom!

I met this lovely mom years ago while we were both participating in a photography program in Washington, DC. I have been honored to photograph her family several times in the years since, both in DC and now here in Colorado. They made the decision to relocate to the area, just like my family – great minds must think alike! It was so great seeing her again for a family session last fall.

It’s always such an honor when friends trust me to capture moments with their families! I have known this beautiful mother-of-two since my very first days in Washington DC. When I lived there several years ago, we were both photography hobbyists and I’m so happy to say that we’ve been friends ever since!

It was my second time photographing this beautiful Colorado family, and so fun to see how the kids had grown as it had been about two years since our last session. They were still as happy and silly as the last time, and they were super fun to photograph!

It isn’t every day that you get to photograph your best friend! Kodi and I met several years ago when we were both only 16, but we’ve maintained our friendship over the years and across the miles.

I always love seeing him during my trips to Washington DC (it’s not a complete trip without time with Kodi!). This time it was extra special because we had a chance to capture some updated portraits of him.

I’ve been photographing this beautiful family for about a decade now, and we always have so much fun when we see each other during my annual trips to the Washington DC area! Since they really enjoy their time spent together at their home in Potomac, Maryland, we decided to stay put for their backyard session this fall!

For this fall family session, we met at the family’s beautiful waterfront property in Manassas, Virginia. We spent some quality time together on the grounds surrounding their custom-built home, and were even accompanied by their faithful cat, who tagged along for a good portion of the session.

Preparing to welcome another child into the world is such an exciting time! For this fall maternity session, I had the chance to meet a lovely couple and their toddler son for some family photos at one of my favorite secret locations in Denver.

This sweet couple came all the way from Georgia to tie the knot at a scenic Airbnb in Colorado Springs. The private property faced open space and had the most beautiful mountain views. The rental even came with a friendly Siamese house cat, an extra special guest for their intimate wedding.

Since Colorado is one of the most scenic and picturesque places for a destination elopement, I rarely have the opportunity to meet couples before they tie the knot in this beautiful state. But this time, I had the pleasure of meeting up with this local couple to celebrate their engagement and help announce their upcoming wedding at Denver Botanic Gardens this spring.
