I focus on connection-driven, story-centered photography that feels natural, emotional, and true to you — not stiff or overly posed. Whether I’m photographing a visiting family in Steamboat Springs, a high school senior, or a surprise proposal in the mountains, my goal is to create images that feel timeless and deeply personal.

I help every client with outfit planning so you never have to stress about coordinating colors or figuring out what photographs best in the mountains. I recommend neutral tones, layered textures, and outfits that feel comfortable and authentic to you.

Summer → wildflowers + green mountains
Fall → golden aspens
Winter → snowy mountain magic
Spring → quieter + soft light
ALL SESSIONS SHOULD BE DONE DURING “GOLDEN HOUR” IF POSSIBLE, EVEN IF IT MEANS KEEPING THE KIDS UP A LITTLE LATER FOR A NIGHT. ;)

Weather in the Colorado mountains can change quickly, but I always monitor forecasts closely and help guide the best decision for your session. Cloudy skies and light snowfall often create some of the dreamiest images.
IF IT’S ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE, I RESCHEDULE BUT USUALLY ITS JUST ADJUSTING THE TIME BY AN HOUR OR TWO AS MOUNTAIN STORMS DON’T LAST LONG. :)

Absolutely. Most of my clients tell me they feel awkward in front of the camera — and that’s completely normal. I guide you through natural movement and prompts so your photos feel relaxed, connected, and genuinely like you.

summer/fall books fastest
senior season fills quickly
vacation family sessions should book early
Summer and fall are the busiest photography seasons in Steamboat Springs, especially for family vacations and senior portraits. I recommend booking 1–3 months in advance whenever possible. But always reach out, I try to get clients in when I can!

Yes! Many of my clients are families vacationing in Steamboat Springs who want to document their time together in the mountains. I help make the process easy and stress-free, from location planning to outfit guidance.

Absolutely — dogs are always welcome if the location allows pets. Some of my favorite sessions include furry family members exploring the mountains alongside you.
