When videography team Alyssa May and Michael of LaBanca Productions reached out about needing some new headshots, I was absolutely honored. I had the chance to first work with these two back for Becca and Mike’s gorgeous fall wedding, and was blown away by their communal and caring nature. Over the years we’ve gotten to be fast friends, and I was over the moon when we had a chance to team back up for Amanda and Brian in downtown Chicago last year.
Read MoreThe best part of Rocky Mountain National Park in Colorado is that you can stop absolutely anywhere (within reason!) and take some incredible engagement photos. This is such a welcome ideal when it is the middle of fall, and the aspens are a beautiful shade of yellow. Kayla and Kyle had dreams of getting married the weekend we met up in RMNP, but Covid had other plans and we instead embarked on an adventure to find the fall colors these two love.
Read MoreAfter Shayla and Dave insisted on climbing mountain sides at Bear Lake in Rocky Mountain National Park, Co, hanging out at 12,000 feet at the top of Trail Ridge Rd for the end of their engagement session was a breeze. Pun intended, because we were all frozen within minutes from the wind! The tragic wildfires lately have made sunsets around our beautiful state of Colorado incredibly hit or miss- and we were so lucky to get a clear evening on top of the mountain.
Read MoreRocky Mountain National Park in Colorado is such an incredible place to visit during the fall season. Filled with aspens, a view of the mountains, and a crystal clear lake, Bear Lake on Bear Lake Rd was the perfect place to do some engagement session exploring for Shalya and Dave. Sitting around 9500 feet, this beautiful alpine lake sits beneath Hallett Peak, and reflects all of the colorful aspens around the trail.
Read MoreI had so much fun getting to photograph Savannah and her good friend Leslie at Rocky Mountain National Park near Estes Park, Colorado for some woman empowerment portraits before Savannah moves back to California. Savannah and Leslie have been friends for what feels like forever, so it was only natural for her to come along for this last part of Savannah’s journey in Colorado, and capture not only Savannah and her Colorado vibes, but also their friendship and mutual adoration via portrait photography. We met up in Estes Park at sunrise, and traveled into Rocky Mountain National Park together, ready to create some magic.
Read MoreI love shooting in Rocky Mountain National Park in Colorado, because you can always find such an incredible variety of beautiful places to go. Emma and Aaron started their summer engagement session at Bear Lake, and even though it is June; there was still snow on the ground! Sitting at an elevation of 9,450 feet, this picture perfect Colorado alpine lake creates beautiful reflections of Hallett Peak, and other surrounding peaks in the Rocky Mountain ranges. Between practicing their wedding first dance and cuddling on rocks, Emma and Aaron had what anyone could describe as a perfect Colorado engagement session.
Read MoreIf you’re a photographer, close your eyes, because I definitely walked away from this incredible Rocky Mountain National Park engagement session with 3800 images. But I mean, when your couple is as awesome as Emma and Aaron, it’s so hard to not spend the whole summer Colorado day with them! After creating some beautiful images at Bear Lake, we went to Moraine Park next to the river, and the light there was nothing short of a blessing. Between practicing their first dance, attempting to practice their favorite reception dance moves, and busting out the champagne- it was almost like a picture perfect wedding day rehearsal.
Read MoreAllison and Jeremy chose Rocky Mountain National Park in Colorado for their engagement session because it perfectly matches their oh so awesome lifestyle. It’s hard to explain if you don’t know anyone, but Allison and Jeremy are van-lifers. Or RV lifers at any rate. They travel around the country with their dog, Raya, seeing new sights on the daily. We were able to get together when they were visiting their family in Colorado and do some exploring ourselves!
