I feel incredibly grateful right now and full of joy. Sitting down and reviewing our 2012 wedding photography year has just reminded me how thankful I am for my job. Looking back at last year I realized how free I have felt to be myself with my husband at my side. It is such an […]

I am a fan of Christmas. Actually, I’m a little obsessed with Christmas. I love traditions, family, cozy fires, Jesus, and gift giving. I love it all. Even though I’m a sucker for traditions, I had never cut down a Christmas tree or even had a real tree. Robby and I decided this was the […]

Woah baby! What a fun & crazy week we have had! This past weekend was our first weekend with out a wedding or shoot in several months…so we lived it up! We got to celebrate Rob’s birthday, snowboard, be with friends, Christmas shop, play in the mountains, watch a Christmas parade, and leave a decorated […]

I am sitting in my office, distracted by dozens of passing fire trucks, circling helicopters, and wildlife running from the foothills. The High Park fire is burning only 8 miles away from our house. The sight is unbelievable. Fort Collins is engulfed in smoke and looks as if the sun is constantly setting. Flames are […]

What a weekend! After bachelorette parties, Della Terra weddings, family dinners and kayaking I am officially sun burnt & in love with summer. This past Friday was my birthday, and I told Rob that all I wanted was to blow out candles. We ate a picnic on our kayaks then went out for ice cream. […]

He nervously put the key in the ignition…it was the moment of truth. After 12 hours of working on the car, multiple trips to the auto parts store, pages of manuals, and dirt stained hands, he sat in the driver seat waiting to see if his hard work paid off. Robby’s eyes lit up when […]
