I’ve been a Colorado Springs family photographer for a long time now – long enough that my camera feels like an extension of my hand, the light is like an old friend, and I may not know exactly what your toddler will do, but I do know how to roll with it and still get the shot.
But here’s something you might not expect:
I still get nervous before every session.
Not in a “I don’t know what I’m doing” kind of way. But in a “this really matters to me” kind of way.
Because I know these photos aren’t just for now—they’re for ten, twenty, even fifty years from now. They’re the kind of thing your kids will pull out when they want to remember what home felt like. They’ll hang on the walls and sit in frames and maybe even get tucked into a box that your grandkids open one day.
And I just think that’s really important.
So yeah… I still get butterflies when I’m driving to meet a family. I run through my mental checklist (charged batteries, backup cards, snack bribes just in case). I take a deep breath before I wave at you across a parking lot.
Because I care.
Not just about getting “good photos.” But about making this whole experience feel joyful and simple. About capturing the silly grins and the quiet in-between moments. About helping you actually enjoy being in front of the camera—even if that hasn’t always been easy in the past.
And honestly? I think that kind of care is what sets a great family photographer apart.
So if you’re looking for someone in Colorado Springs who will show up fully for your family—not just with the right settings and poses, but with heart—I’d love to be that for you.
You don’t need to do anything fancy. You don’t need the perfect outfits or perfectly behaved kids.
You just need to show up.
And I’ll do the rest.
