I See Your Beauty When You Can't Find It

I've been a photographer for over 30 years. But honestly? It was never really about the camera.

It's always been about people.

I grew up in Midland, Michigan, where at age 10 I raided the linen closet, dressed my friends in sheets and towels, and decided they looked like high-fashion models. I wasn't wrong. Some things don't change.

I don't have a formula. I don't pose you like a prop or chase whatever style is trending on Pinterest this week. I just show up as myself — and somehow, that seems to give people permission to show up as themselves too.

I had a high school senior once who'd been through some genuinely hard stuff. The day of her shoot, everything went wrong — rain, wind, all of it. But she showed up anyway. And she was so free, so completely and unapologetically herself, that she made me feel inspired. I still think about her.

That's what this work is, for me. It goes both ways.

When nervous clients ask what they should do in front of my camera, I tell them: nothing. I'm not looking for a performance. I'm looking for you — the real version, the unguarded version, the one your people actually love. I'll be there with my camera when it shows up, and trust me, it always does.

I've photographed weddings, seniors, families, executives, and people the rest of the world tends to overlook. Every single one of them has been worth showing up for.

I live in Erie, Colorado and shoot all across the Front Range — Boulder, Denver, Lafayette, Louisville, Longmont, Estes Park, and beyond. Lafayette, Louisville, Lyons, Denver, Estes Park, the mountains and surrounding areas. (And, bonus: I’m not limited to Colorado!)

If you're looking for a photographer who will make you feel comfortable, have fun with you, and bring everything she's got to your session — I'd love to meet you.

I’m available to photograph in Boulder, Erie,

I'm based in Erie, Colorado, and I work all across the Front Range: Boulder, Denver, Lafayette, Louisville, Longmont, Estes Park, and anywhere else life takes us.

Here's what I believe about photography:

The best images are never the posed ones. They're the glance between a couple right after they say "I do." The senior who finally relaxes and just laughs. The executive who forgets there's a camera pointed at them. Those are the moments I live for — and after three decades, I know exactly how to create the conditions for them to happen.

I'm not interested in factory photography. I'm interested in you — your story, your people, your real life.

What's Important to Me:

A little more about me:

When I'm not behind a camera, I'm probably eating something delicious, watching a documentary, or outside in the Colorado mountains. I have two cats — yes, I walk them on leashes, and yes, I'm that person. I grew up in Midland, Michigan, and I've been proud to call Colorado home for years.

I also do photography work with underserved communities and incarcerated individuals — work that doesn't pay much but fills my cup in ways nothing else does. It's taught me that everyone deserves to feel seen. I bring that belief to every session I shoot.
