Dillon Reservoir Frisco, Colorado Family Session

Frisco, Colorado Family Session at Dillon Reservoir

Jocelyn and I met during a photography workshop at a time when my life felt very bleak. I had just found out that a judge in Nebraska granted custody of my son to my abuser. Even though I wasn’t really up for it, I went to the workshop anyway. I needed to feel normal. I needed to feel something.

Often times, we meet people that change our lives when we least expect it. I was a wreck when I arrived at that hostel in Denver. Over the next few days, my faith in people being kind was renewed. Somehow, it helped. Jocelyn was one of those people. When you go through something hard and there are people around to lift you up, you tend to hang on to those people with all your heart, even if they don’t really know the full reasons why.

Three years later, Jocelyn is still there for me. My constant cheerleader behind the scenes. To be honest, I was so nervous to photograph her family. With the heavy smoke in the air during her family session, these edits are a tad different than my norm but I love the richness and depth they provide. They set a mood of love, caring, and genuine strength. Strength of her family and their traveling hiccups. Strength in our friendship. Strength that everything in the world will be good again.

Jocelyn, thank you for your friendship from the depths of my soul. I know it may not seem like much but it means so much to me that you are always there to lend an ear. You are always there to lift me up. I appreciate you and everything you offer me.

To Jocelyn’s family, I know we just met but I want to tell you how much I was blown away by your kindness. Your company after this session was the best and I won’t ever forget it. I hope to one day journey down to Arizona and have my family step in front of your lens, Jocelyn. For our kids to meet. To play. To enjoy the company of friends, not just clients.

A photography session is always a journey for me. An adventure with those that are with me. This family and I journeyed into a space that neither of us were familiar with and it made it that much sweeter. Can I journey with you and your family? Will you spend that time with me exploring what this world has to offer? I would love to connect and make those dreams a reality for you and deliver you a gallery as beautiful and genuine as this one. Click the button below for information on booking a session.
