Colorado Springs Photographer

Real Moments. Mountain Light. The way you actually love each other.

Hey, I’m Sandy

I photograph families and couples in Colorado Springs, across the Front Range, and into the mountains when the story calls for it.

What I'm drawn to isn't the perfect pose or the matching outfits. It's the in-between. The way your kid leans into you without thinking. The look that passes between you and your partner when no one else is watching. The mess and the tenderness and the way your people actually are together.

If you're looking for stiff and traditional, I'm probably not your photographer. But if you want images that feel like your real life, the beautiful, chaotic, connected version of it, I'd love to hear from you.

You’re in the right space if…

You don't want to be told how to stand. You'd rather laugh than pose. You want photos that make you feel something when you look at them ten years from now.

“Our family loved working with Sandy! She really put us at ease and balanced out directing us for poses and just letting our 5 and 7-year-old play and have fun! She beautifully captured us having fun and enjoying each other with a stunning background. I really appreciated her local knowledge of picking out the perfect location for the look we were going for. Highly recommend!” -Lisa Liberati

Let’s Go Somewhere

I travel. A lot. If you're celebrating somewhere beautiful, whether that's the mountains of Colorado or halfway across the world, I want to come with you.

Current bucket list: Glacier, Grand Teton, Joshua Tree, New Zealand, Iceland, Ireland, Banff, Greece, Barcelona.

If your place isn't on the list, tell me anyway. I'll probably say yes.

Can I come and hang out where you are?
