Carol was absolutely AMAZING! We have two-and-a-half-year-old twins and Carol knew EXACTLY what to do to capture the most memorable shots. She went BEYOND my expectation of what a family photo (of mine) could look like! Thank you Carol for your professionalism and patience while working with our family!

NICE TO MEET YOU!

As the Mother of three amazing adult daughters, I understand how quickly time moves and how essential it is to capture those cherished moments in time. I know there is no greater joy than having a collection of photos that reflect the love, spirit, sincere interactions, and authentic emotions of a moment. That is why I am passionate about working with families to show the world how unique and amazing they truly are!
 

With Colorado's awe-inspiring mountains, rivers, and forests as the backdrop and the overlay of your beautiful family, I strive to create artwork you can be proud to share. Family is at the heart of everything I do, and it is why I love facilitating experiences that capture the raw emotion and love my clients have for their families.
 

I look forward to connecting with you to walk through each step of the process. I would be honored to be considered as the storyteller behind the lens, documenting the rhythm of your everyday, your once-in-a-lifetime, and everything in between. This is your life. These are your moments. Let’s work together to turn them into art.
