beyond the camera

My favorite people. My everyday world.

This is my world. My husband Matt, I and our two dragons…errrr unicorns, Avery and Oliver, and our giant baby, Ranger (Colorado Mountain Dog), live in Conifer, Colorado. 

I love Jesus, mountain biking, running, hiking, snowboarding and skiing, finding solace and adventure in the great outdoors. We love camping – percolator coffee, good tunes, early morning breakfast burritos and dancing. 

I’ve always loved cameras and taking photos. I got my first camera when I was seven years old, inspired by my mom who took pictures and was in charge of our elementary school yearbooks. I’d watch her work late nights, organizing photos and cutting them out over the school year to put together the perfect spread. 

I love natural light. I love the silly face on a young boy, the smart grin on a teenage girl. I love to capture what is real and emotional, the moments you want to treasure forever because life moves too darn fast.
