Who says photos can’t be fun?
My superpower is putting people at ease. Having your photo taken can be a stressful experience, but my sessions are anything but.
I’ll play games with your 4 year old, chat up your nervous spouse, and make your family look like the amazing rockstars they are.
Family and newborn photography CAN be fun and easy, and SHOULD be fun and easy. I’ll make photos something your family looks forward to, year after year!

What I Offer
Relaxed sessions
I have three kids of my own. I know exactly how hard you’ve worked to make your session a reality, and how stressful it can be to get everyone on board!
I will tell you exactly where to stand and what to do with your hands, but I will also let your family be their awesome selves – we’ll run, we’ll jump, we’ll chat.
Organized process
I will walk you through this process from start to finish, and answer any questions you might have.
I have helpful guides on what to wear, will help you pick the best session location for your family, and will make sure you know what you’re doing every step of the way.
Great experience
While I promise you I will deliver an awesome gallery, my number one priority is that your family wants to schedule photos year after year.
I want every family to have the experience of being comfortable to be themselves in front of a camera.

Frequently Asked Questions
01 | How far in advance should I book my session?
In general, I book about 3 months in advance. Certain times of year (August thru October) are busier than others, so I do recommend reaching out early if you have a specific month or season in mind. Use my contact page to inquire about availability.
02 | Why should we choose you instead of another Cheyenne photographer?
I’m incredibly laid back – both in style and personality – and prioritize a good experience over getting the Perfect Photo (but as you can see from my work, you’re still getting some pretty darn good photos). I want your family to have an awesome, stress-free experience from start to finish. This needs to be something your family wants to do every year!
03 | Where do you suggest we have our session?
Session location depends on a lot of things – weather, time of year, type of session.
All Basic Sessions take place in the Cheyenne area – Lions Park, Botanic Gardens, High Plains Arboretum.
Standard and Deluxe Sessions take place at the in-town locations listed above, as well as at Curt Gowdy State Park, Vedauwoo, and Fort Collins (and anywhere in between!).
I do occasionally offer studio sessions, especially in the winter months, and am always up for in-home sessions.
My newborn sessions take place in client homes, all over Cheyenne and northern Colorado.
04 | Do we get all the photos from our session?
Clients who choose a Full or Deluxe Session will receive all the final files from their session in an online gallery (typically 75+ images, in color and B/W).
Petite Session clients are able to choose 5 of their favorite images to download, and will have the ability to purchase additional images ($25 each) or the entire gallery ($200).

Why I Became A Photographer in Cheyenne
We’ve been living in Cheyenne for ten years now, but have spent the last 20 years living in Wyoming. We’ve lived in Rock Springs and Cheyenne, but have traveled almost every road in the state (both paved and dirt), from Casper to Jackson to Lander to Buffalo. My husband and I met while working as wildland firefighters for the Bureau of Land Management, so we’ve seen some of the best Wyoming has to offer!
Cheyenne has quickly become Home. Our kids attend Laramie County District 1 schools (both elementary and junior high), and we’re active in the outdoor scene. Skiing at Snowy Range Ski Area and Tie City Trailhead, hiking at Curt Gowdy State Park and Vedauwoo, camping at Glendo and Guernsey, and biking all over the Medicine Bow National Forest. Getting to explore the outdoors means I have TONS of amazing spots for my photography clients, both on and off the beaten path.
When not outside, we can be found at our favorite downtown haunts: Paramount Cafe, Laramie County Library, Twin Dragon and Mort’s Bagels.
