Couples Session in Frisco Colorado
Kara, how are you so pretty? I swear, each time we see each other, your smile and warmth just capture me. I can still remember waking up that cold morning in my tent to photography your elopement with Tyler by your side. The night before, sitting around the campfire eating yummy things and talking the evening away. Here you two are now, loving, laughing, and LIVING OUT OF A VAN! I think that is ridiculously cool.
When Kara reached out to me, she told me they wanted photos of them in the van they were now living in with their two pups. I jumped at the chance to hang out with them. Location was key as we wanted to be sure the van was situated in a space that reflected the beauty of nature. I had shot in Frisco at this location the month prior and I was excited to be going back.

When I arrived, Kara and Tyler showed me their van and everything it could do. I even got to use their compost toilet, very self-sufficient. They have a cooktop, a built-in spice rack, and a fully functioning sink. Their bed was also super comfy (believe me, I laid down on it!). They even have cute little cactus’ in the cup holders up front, the perfect space. After I checked out their sweet home, we took a stroll by the water. We let the pups run and play along the water and we chatted about life and their hopes for the future.
I felt like our time together was an adventure and adventures are my favorite. Can I adventure with you too? Can I help you craft a session in a location that you love just I did for Kara and Tyler? Reach out, let’s make a plan!
Dillon Reservoir Frisco, Colorado Family Session
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.
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.

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. Let’s create something beautiful together.
