I have always been a believer– a believer in hard work, a believer in dreams, a believer in my children and my husband, a believer in people and above all a believer in God. But with all that said, sometimes I struggle with being a believer in myself. When I am hired for a job, whether in the area of design or photography, I am extremely humbled. Soft smile, big sigh… they picked ME. I am not oblivious…
Bacterial meningitis is a hard disease to detect as it often disguises itself as the common flu. The tragedy at the center of this story is also what has inspired thousands of people to action. The word is spreading, as people are made aware that bacterial meningitis is vaccine preventable. Had my dear friend’s family known just how deadly this disease can be, they would have moved heaven and earth to get their beautiful little girl vaccinated. No parent should have…
As a photographer, sometimes it is hard to change it up. I, for example, mainly shoot outdoors… it’s my happy place. Today’s market (especially high school seniors) want fresh, unique and off-the-chart gorgeous! If your market fits the price tag, you can obtain the clients who are willing to pay for your over-the-top creative effort! Wild at Heart was a collaboration with my friend, and very talented photographer Noelle Wood of Looking Glass Studio. Our concept was to provide our clients with…
A logo is the personal stamp of a business. As a graphic designer, it is my goal to make my client’s logo look unique to their brand. I want their logo to be one that provokes their target audience to be drawn to action. I believe that over the last 5 years we have dawned on a new day in the world of graphic design. There are many sites out there that offer a wide selection of fantastic generic art available…
COME ONE, COME ALL! As a mom of two young children, I know how important it is to capture all of the many stages of life. I also am fully aware how fast time flies by and before you know it the family pictures you have up on your walls are from when your oldest was a newborn! A family session with me is fun and easy! Ask anyone of my past clients or read their reviews on my Facebook…

My experience shooting sessions inside of Red Rocks has been tricky, but fun! Be sure to check the concert schedule to ensure you will not be trying to shoot before or during a concert. Keep in mind that shooting there on the weekends is REALLY tricky… The amphitheater turns into a gym for the masses every Saturday morning! If you dare shoot during that time, there will be lots of post-production in your future. Take note, that security also ropes…
After I graduated from The Art Institute of Colorado in 2003, I was fortunate to get hired at the place of my internship. Hello Horizon Organic! I was SO excited to get my career started and work on a team with two other professional designers. It was here, under the art direction of David Morton, that I learned the process of creating national brand recognition. Repetition. Repetition. Repetition. Effective frequency is the number of times a person must be exposed to an advertising message before a…

The best part is that if you market yourself correctly you can obtain the clients who are willing to pay for it! I recently had the opportunity to work with an outstanding photographer, Noelle Wood, of Looking Glass Studio in Loveland, Colorado. Together, we came up with this concept of…
