Denver Moms who call me to do a fall photo shoot usually request one of two location options, fall leaves or mountains. This beautiful mountain location, Mt. Falcon, that I photographed the Favela family at, is only 30 minutes from Denver and is a great family photo shoot spot for sunset. There are lots of photo opportunities, beautiful light and room for the kids to run around too! Rebecca and Paul Favela and their two adorable daughters, Autumn, 7, and Serenity, 4, wanted to do their family photo shoot at a mountain location. As a family, they love going on mountain adventures so this ... Read More about Denver Fall Family Photo Shoot at Mt. Falcon

Photos Should Leave No Question Unanswered About the Space I’ve perused hundreds of Airbnb and VRBO listings and am surprised at how many hosts don’t use professional photos. When I’ve looked for places to rent for weekend and holiday getaways, I’m frequently frustrated and disappointed that after looking at the photos, I don’t have a good sense of the space and still have questions about it.

My first Denver senior photo shoot last month with 17-year-old Alyiah was so much fun and yielded so many beautiful images that I cannot wait for my next senior shoot! We shot in four different locations, my home studio, RiNo Art District, Confluence Park and Belmar Lake, with several outfit and jewelry changes. Alyiah did her own hair and makeup, and she also chose her own outfits.

She also was great at putting herself together for our many looks. And of ... Read More about Alyiah’s Denver Senior Photo Shoot

I recently moved to Denver from Maui where I worked as a family photographer, mostly for visiting tourists. For whatever reason, senior photo shoots were not very popular on Maui. In fact, the only senior photo shoot I did on Maui was for a young woman who came to visit the island last year at spring break with her family. Her mom booked a family photo session with me and asked if I could also take her daughter’s portrait for her senior photos. This was my first attempt, and I absolutely loved it! In contrast to shooting families, I enjoyed working one-on-one with someone. Plus, teenage girls ... Read More about Denver Senior Photo Season is Upon Us
