A little bit about me ...

When I was 9 years old my parents took my younger brother, Greg (7 at the time), and I out for a fancy breakfast. As we sat in one of those wooden high-back booths, my Mom looked at us and said, " What do you think about having another brother or sister?" Quite honestly, my response at the time was, "Are we adopting a baby?" Her look of surprise told me what I needed to know. "We" were having a baby. You have to remember, for years my parents told us in no uncertain terms that there were no more brothers or sisters coming into the house. Sometimes life just has other plans. Those plans led to the birth of a baby boy about 7 months after that fateful breakfast.

My life has not been the same since. He really was just an ordinary baby boy ... but aren't all babies extraordinary in the ordinariness? There is profound beauty in the plain and simple. His birth taught me patience and unconditional love and allowed me to see the eyes of the world through a young child while at a tender age myself. His birth lit a fire in me to work with children.

From babysitting to summers and holidays at BabyGap, I always found myself drawn to jobs that had children involved. After graduating from CSU and marrying my love, Brian, I became an aide in a kindergarten classroom, worked for Newspapers in Education, and in the education department at the Denver Zoo ... sometimes even scooping poop. I earned a Master's degree in Elementary Education and taught for two years before embarking on the most important job of all, Mom.

So, that'd been my full-time J-O-B until last June when my family gave me the last little push to explore photography as a profession. It has been a whirlwind ever since. I have the best job in the world. I get to play with kids and babies and families all day long and capture those moments for a lifetime (and I don't even have to grade papers).

So sit back and enjoy with me the moments and memories already captured and dream about all the fabulous ones to come!

As I sat in front of my television watching the horrific images from Haiti play over and over … I knew I wanted to do something. We have three beautiful children ages 7 and under, and adopting a beautiful child from Haiti wasn’t an option for us at this point in our journey. But I...

This is one of the first family sessions I had after returning from Santa Barbara … and I loved every minute of it! I love spending time with families. It is a gift each family shares with me … a little sliver of time never to be regained, but to be treasured forever with beautiful...

My son, Decker, is off for his first day of second-grade today. And if Facebook is a good barometer, most children are now back in school. His elementary school is one place I love sending him. I know he is learning and growing and becoming a passionate learner and a compassionate human being. I feel...

My poor husband. Every time I come home from a session I fret about getting enough good pictures. I’ve done this since I started the business a year ago. While the feeling has somewhat diminished, it hasn’t gone away. So his first response is always, “Go download and look at your stuff.” This session was...
