I’m a Colorado Springs family, maternity and couples photographer, who specializes in outdoor adventure sessions. Inspired by the beautiful Colorado scenery, I love to capture golden light and real moments filled with love and laughter. I also have a cozy bright white studio space for indoor newborn, maternity and milestone photos.
My style is sun soaked and colorful. Imagine your family as the focal point set against the stunning Colorado landscape. It creates the most magical backdrop for family photos.
When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll find me traveling all over Colorado with my family. In the summer months, we love to go on camping trips and explore this beautiful state. Some of our favorite places to go are Crested Butte, the Dillon Reservoir and Moab Utah. We love to travel in the winter as well! I never imagined I would be raising my kids here and living the Colorado life but here we are!
I started my photography journey with an old Canon Rebel, trying to capture every little moment of my first child’s life. Over time, I fell in love with photography. What started as a way to document my own family quickly turned into a passion for photographing other families and couples as well.
I have a huge passion for outdoor adventure sessions. Combining my love for nature and photography brings me so much joy. Whether it’s families exploring trails or couples sharing a quiet moment in Colorado’s stunning scenery, these sessions are truly special. There’s something magical about being in nature and creating lasting memories together.
Let’s create something beautiful together.

Colorado Springs photographer specializing in adventurous and joy filled photo sessions.
Summer in Colorado Springs is my favorite 🌿☀️
The mountains are green, the sunsets stay out late, and these locations photograph so beautifully this time of year.
These are a few of my favorite summer spots for photo sessions because they each bring something a little different:
✨ Palmer Park Mesa — open trails, golden light, and playful space for kids to run
✨ Garden of the Gods Meadow — wildflowers, red rocks, and dreamy summer sunsets
✨ North Cheyenne Canon — mountain meadow views with an adventurous feel
If you’ve been dreaming about updated family photos that feel playful, funand full of connection, summer is honestly one of the best times to do it.
Now booking Colorado Springs summer sessions 🤍
Not your average Garden of the Gods session 🤍
This location takes a little effort to get to, but that’s exactly what makes it so good. More space, better views, and that golden light.
Full sessions only for this one—and yes, it’s worth it.

This is one of those sessions I’ll never stop sharing… and I’m not even sorry about it 😅
Everything just came together. The light, the colors, the kids being their full goofy selves, and mom and dad just rolling with!

If you’ve ever wondered which spot to choose at Garden of the Gods… here’s a little peek at my go-to locations 👇
They all have totally different vibes, so it really just depends on what you want your photos to feel like.
Mesa Overlook
Easy access + incredible views. This is one of my favorites for families who want that big scenery without a lot of walking. Perfect for mini and short sessions
High Point Overlook
If you don`t mind the crowds you get a mix of trees, rocks, and views all in one spot with minimal walking. Works well for any type of session!
Meadow
More soft and playful. Think tall grass, winding paths, and room for kids to run. Great if you want something less rocky. I love all the green grass in the summer. Requires a bit of walking.
Ridge
This one feels a little more adventurous. You get those big views, amazing light, and space to move around. It’s perfect if you don’t mind a little exploring. Requires a bit of walking on steep rocky terrain.
Pikes Peak Views
This is the classic red rocks and mountain view location. Exactly what people think of with photo sessions at Garden of the Gods and so stunning at sunset. This location is only available for full sessions and requires a longer hike.
Honestly, you really can’t go wrong with any of them… it just comes down to your style, your family, and how much exploring you’re up for.
If you’re not sure which one fits best, I’ll always help you choose 🤍
