Buena Vista Camping Trip
It’s so nice having a little bit of time off to spend exploring Colorado.. I’m grateful for it and the photos aren’t too shabby either. Last weekend we camped and fished out in Buena Vista and it was a blast!
With the recent move out to Denver, I’m certainly taking advantage of the slower than usual wedding season! As I’m booking weddings for fall and the 2022 season, I’m really grateful to have this time off from weddings to truly enjoy my new home state! This past weekend was my first camping and fishing experience since I’ve been out here and I gotta say it was pretty incredible. Surrounded by great friends and awesome scenery, I will be sure to take advantage of it more often! Anyway here are a few photos from the trip that I wanted to share, so enjoy!
Yes there will be lots of dog pics… I mean can you blame me?
I’m so used to camping in the woods, that I was not expecting this wide open area surrounded by mountains! So beautiful!
The pups were definitely enjoying themselves!
And then there was the fishing spot…..
The trout may have been small, but they put up a fight! Or at least I like to think so…
Especially this fella :)
And the stars! This was a 30 second exposure that got an awesome view of the sky we were sleeping under.
All in all it was an incredible weekend and makes so thankful that I have this time to spend with good friends in an amazing state like Colorado!
Emily + Ben
SO cool that I’ve taken pictures of these two all over the country these past couple years! After this latest session at Lookout Mountain in Colorado, I just had to share my journey with Emily and Ben!
So I just had my third photo session with Emily and Ben… and now we’ve officially taken photos together in our third different state!! From Texas to Missouri to Colorado, I can’t get over the fact that it feels like we’ve been everywhere together! Back in the 2019, these two chose me to capture their big day and I never would have guessed two years later we’d be doing Ben’s headshots in a completely different city!
The first time we met, I was living in St. Louis and they were in Houston.. so of course I flew out to Houston to capture their engagement session. It was about 99 degrees out, but it turned out amazing! Fast forward a few months and these two had such a fun wedding in STL, disney theme included! Some of my favorite candid shots came from Ben and Emily’s wedding and I remember her dress being straight out of storybook. These two have so much fun and laughter together it can be infectious!
Two years later, I’m out here in Denver and was thrilled to find out these two had come out to Colorado as well! So of course I said yes when Ben asked if I could do some headshots for him… plus a few of them together for old times sake :) Easily my favorite part of this job is getting to know my couples and it’s so cool seeing some of them grow over the years. I’m so blessed and honored that I could see Emily and Ben again to capture them one more time… in a third state no less!!
Through the years :)
I can’t believe this engagement shoot was two years ago!
First stop.. Houston!
And then the wedding in St. Louis!!
And here we are two years later taking pictures in the mountains of Colorado!
What a journey it’s been with you two.. wouldn’t change a thing! I’ve loved working with you two!
Sarah + Adam Mountain Session
Moving to Denver was one the best decisions I’ve made in a long time! A big part of the reason is because of all the great friends out here! Adam and Sarah have been with me from the beginning, so its not surprising they are the subject of my very first blog post!
Wow taking these photos of Sarah and Adam brings back some big nostalgia vibes! Years ago, in St. Louis, these two were my first ever portrait shoot and now here we are again. Although this time they were willing to get back into their wedding attire and relive a little bit of their own nostalgia!
Needless to say the pictures turned out so gorgeous!!! Sarah looked just as beautiful in her wedding dress as she did the first time she wore it! And Adam looked great in his suit.. they complimented each other perfectly. It was just as if I was back at their wedding two years ago in STL, expect for the insane mountain views!
When some of us decided to take a trip out to the mountains near Telluride, we figured why not get some epic Colorado photos while we’re at it. Sarah and Adam have been good friends of mine for a long time and have been two of my biggest supporters on this photography journey of mine, so I'm very grateful for them and just wanted to say thank you! Thank you for always rooting for me, for your unwavering support, and, of course, for letting me use you as my models from St. Louis to Telluride! Can’t wait to take your 50th anniversary photos years down the road :)
From my very first portrait shoot to my latest! It’s been a fun four years!
So beautiful in that dress!!
I absolutely love veil shots and this one turned out great!
That backdrop though….
Gotta show off the dress!
Little behind the scenes action!
