About Me

If I had to name a niche, I'd say it's people. I love hearing someone's story, where they're from, what brought them to Colorado, what they're building here. That curiosity is what draws me to such a wide range of work. Whether I'm photographing a corporate event, a beautifully designed space, or a family welcoming someone new, there are always people at the center of it, and that's where my heart is.

I've never been a one-niche photographer and I never wanted to be. Diversity keeps me growing, keeps me challenged, and honestly keeps me loving what I do. I have a genuine growth mindset, and after 15 years I'm still finding new ways to push my craft and take on work that excites me.

For me, delivering beautiful imagery is everything, but it doesn't stop there. It's also about connection and relationships that last well beyond a single session. I want my clients to feel genuinely cared for, not just well photographed. Many of my client relationships have grown into real friendships over the years, and that means everything to me.

A lot of my work is with companies and organizations that want professional imagery without the stiff, overly polished feel. If you need someone who can move quickly, work with your team, and deliver images that show off what you do best, I'd love to talk.

Beyond my commercial work, I'm also a photographer for life for many families in the area. Some of those relationships started with a wedding or an engagement and have grown into years of watching families expand and change. It's one of my favorite parts of this job, building that kind of long term trust with the people I photograph.

After 15 years here, I've dealt with every kind of Colorado lighting and weather Mother Nature can throw at us. I know how to keep a big event running smoothly, guide you into natural poses without making it feel stiff or awkward, and make someone who hates being photographed feel at ease. I deliver consistent, professional results whether I'm working with professionals or a nervous high school senior.

I'm not just here to take a few photos. I'm here to build relationships and capture what matters most to you.

My Approach

Every project gets my full attention and every client gets treated like they're the only one on my calendar. When you reach out, I read your email and do my best to respond the same day, though sometimes I'm out in the field photographing lovely people, so it may take up to a day. From there, we'll communicate however you're most comfortable, whether that's email, a good old fashioned phone call, or a meet and greet, because how we connect matters as much as what we create together.

From first hello to final delivery, my goal is that working with me feels effortless. You focus on showing up, and I'll take care of the rest.

My Core Values

Photography has always been about more than the shot for me. For years I have had the privilege of working alongside Blue Sky Bridge, providing specialized imagery and visual storytelling that supports their vital work in child abuse intervention and prevention education, helping to create the kind of "safe to tell" spaces every child deserves. I am also a longtime collaborator with the Firehouse Art Center and Month of Modern, documenting the events and moments that make Boulder County's creative community so vibrant and worth celebrating. At the heart of everything I do is a deep commitment to inclusion, diversity, and making every person in front of my lens feel welcome, respected, and valued. I show up fully for every client and every project, whether I am photographing a corporate summit or a family's most meaningful moments. After 15 years, this work still fills me with purpose. I believe in building relationships that outlast a single session and using this craft to tell stories that genuinely matter.
