You deserve to remember your life and your life deserves to be remembered.
I hope this statement gives you pause about how you see your life. In your one dear life you meet hundreds of people but only let a very special few into your personal space. This is where the most meaningful art is made. The story of who you love. My photography encompasses all the goodness, quirkiness, and individuality that is you. I aspire to make photos in a way that I can let your light shine.
If this resonates with you please take some time to look around. Thanks for being here!

The photos we make together will become your favorites. It will be the easiest session ever because you’ll be having real moments that you get to keep forever.

Trying to hold onto summer over here. I don't know about you but when I was a kid summer felt SOOO long. Now it goes by in a blink and a wink.
I hope your summer has had some of these moments. Have you already gone on vacation? Or is it still upcoming? Or not happening this year. This was our first vacation in like 3 years. Covid.

Wonder and awe. If you've lost it there's always a way to find it. I'm always in awe of nature and God. What brings you awe?

Have you been to the botanical gardens?
Senior sessions there are amazing 😍
I'm sooo grateful for all the neat people I get to meet! Riann you are so chill and down to earth, and a true delight to be around.
Plants just make sense to me. They nourish my soul as I nourish and tend to them. What just makes sense to you?
When I do a session with you, it's like tending to my plants. I pour all my love and attention into you.

I think I might be 70 😉 I could sit on the porch and play in the dirt all day! Also our first lamb was born here. We named him Adam 🐏 how has summer been for you so far? Gas prices keeping you at home?

I love this wild and chill family. Forest is one of the most capable 2 year Olds I've ever seen. He's adorable, they have the sweetest relationship and he's lucky to have this very very capable mama. Here's to keeping life simple and wild!!!

Love like this gives me hope. The darkness can't hold back the light, ever.
We can't fix everything but we can lift where we stand and do a lot of good. That goodness has a ripple effect and who knows how far it'll reach.

Mom and son played with a quilt on the clothes line, chased chickens, ate, played in the tub, played on the porch with the guitar, over watered seedlings in the garden. It was a perfect day with Jessica and Forest! This kind of stuff pulls at my heart! If you have ranchy homesteady friends please share this post with them.
Thanks for a beautiful day! @cobracult also she makes beautiful jewelry go check it out.

Just for fun. Fun also happens to be the word people use most often to describe their session with me. Humbling, that's all I want you to have when you're with me and your cherished ones. So if you love having fun, let's make fun together. Cause fun is fun to have.

I can't believe the wildfires this year. Do you guys know anyone affected by them? My heart goes out to them. I know there are and will be even more opportunities to help those affected by them. If you know of ways to help drop it in the comments.
I have a friend that's well connected in Vegas arwa and she said there will be many chances to help soon.

I'm a firm believer in questions. Not just any questions but asking the right questions. I have a knack for Helping people figure out what they want.
This traight comes in handy when helping my amazing people figure out what matters most to them for their sessions and getting rid of anything that doesn't.
Who else loves questions? Refinement doesn't happen without them.

Follow that hat! The grooms hat got taken and they all took a turn!
Family photos don't have to be dry EVEN at a wedding! Fun people have fun!
Let me be your guide to FUN town! But only get on board if you're fun too!
Feeling a little kooky, maybe it's all the fresh air I've gotten lately playing in the dirt. Spring time is happy time. I love planting and tending my garden & yard.

He's started music lessons at the @thevillageguitarist in Cedar Crest. The owners are genuinely good honest hardworking people! Russels teacher Adam is amazing at helping to instill confidence. Highly recommend!
I really enjoyed doing music portraits for students there. It's so fun to see kids and teens light up with their instruments.
Ps they sell music equipment too if you're in the market.
Do you play any instruments? I can play piano and cello ok. Are your kids in lessons?

Zaya was my second shooter! It was so fun to do this wedding together. I didn't plan for it to be that way, but I'm so glad it worked out that way. Minus the first one these are all photos she took.
I thought if she had a camera in hand then she'd have more fun. When she comes with me I need very little assistance and she feels awkward hanging out but this time was different.
She surprised herself with how well she did. Kids artistic, she just doesn't see it. I think sometimes we have very ridged ideas of what qualifies as artistic and if it doesn't fit in tidy little box we deem ourselves unartistic.
What would you add to this sentiment?
She is so good with people at her age, it blows my mind. I love this kid. Her favorite color is yellow and I think that means she's meant to be a photographer. She is full of happy yellow light.
How have your kids surprised you? It's almost Mothers day, so share share share! I want to hear.

I've been in a bit of a funk the past 2 days. They are always annoying right?! Ugh. What I realized again last night is that it really is the small and simple things, that if you keep doing get you through. What small things get you through?
Today, I knew my water intake hasn't been awesome the last week or so for some reason so I'm doing that small thing today. Small things will get me back on track.
Always, scripture and prayer in the morning.
Now, I'm going to go plant some plants before they blow into Colorado.
Later, editing, and more shooting.
My website is officially revamped!!! I'd super duper love for you to check it out. I know I'm more excited about it than anyone but I'd love to have you share in my excitement. 💜 What do you like most about it? Or how would you describe its vibe?
Thanks Jamie for being so patient with me. I know what I want and you said you liked that and I hope you still do haha! You are AMAZING 👏
If you need a website and so much more see @emviovirtualsolutions
Things don't go as planned. Life is beautiful and crazy and I wanted to talk about my new website that I am sooo EXCITED about but I don't have time now because I need to pack up for a shoot and so I will just leave it at this perfect moment. THIS. This moment that was a brief moment but is now a lasting memory. This cutie will not stay like this very long at all.
