The Ellie Caulkins Opera House is far, far away from the reindeer herding community where he spent time while growing up in Finland. Yet that’s where Ari Pelto spends most of his days as the Music Director of Opera Colorado, preparing for the final two productions of their 39th season. He’s been busy directing Opera […]
The Colorado Rockies tend to have their own weather and seasons, particularly in the winter months. They are also a pretty common destination for weddings, with winter providing one of the most gorgeous backdrops. Among the lightly powdered mountains and evergreens, at Lookout Mountain near Boettcher Mansion, I was able to capture all of the […]
When thinking about the perfect winter session, you’ll likely picture a dreamy photo taken among freshly fallen snow and tall evergreens in the background. I love these types of sessions (and you’ll see some featured here!) But they aren’t always a guarantee, and there are lots of wonderful winter options, even if you don’t love […]
For this sweet family’s session, in this unseasonable warm fall we’ve had, we got one of the few cold and super blustery days. We chose Standley Lake Regional Park for our session, a 1,200 acre reservoir in Westminster, Colorado. On this particular day, the water didn’t help with the crisp wind, but they were super […]
I know this sweet family through their oldest daughter who went to school with my boys until this past year. I love when clients turn into friends, but it’s also so meaningful when friends turn into clients. I’m so flattered when friends trust me to capture their families! We decided to meet up at Denver’s City […]
I love being able to capture families in places that are meaningful to them – and that’s always the perfect reason to schedule a session. I’m always flattered to be invited to photograph a special occasion, family trip, or getaway – whether in the mountains, at the beach, or beyond. But this time, I was […]
The wonderful thing about an outdoor family session is that there’s always a place to explore right under our feet. For this one, we chose Windy Saddle Park on Lookout Mountain, near Golden, Colorado. The boys all loved exploring the trails, picking up sticks and other little treasures along the way. This family was absolutely […]
Jeannie and Andrew came to Colorado from Missouri to tie the knot and were looking for something simple but beautiful for their elopement. Colorado has so many places that fit this description, but for their special day, I figured what better spot than Lookout Mountain. This couple has known each other for years, and even […]
Anyone who know me knows my family and I are a just a little animal crazy. When I meet someone new, and they ask I have any pets and I say ‘oh yes, we have a bunch’ I imagine they probably figure we might have 3 or so…. but how about 12!? (We had 13 […]
My favorite locations for a fall family session are unique with lots of scenery, and lots of room to run and play! This spot in Franktown, Colorado was no exception! This couple has trusted me with their photos since they first got engaged, and I am so lucky to have the chance to work with […]
