As a photographer, I have been involved in different opportunities throughout my career. I have volunteered in fundraising campaigns with American Cancer Society, Japanese Chin Rescue fundraising and charity auction, Safe-Splash Swim School Holiday events, Goldfish Swim School partnership, Pine Ridge E.S. PTO Team, and holiday gatherings portraiture for the school district in Aurora, CO. I am always open to connect with new people and contribute, positively, to my community. What is special about Colorado to you? I have called Colorado “My home” for almost 3 decades. It has caught my attention because of a blend of natural wonders, cultural richness, and its commitment to sustainability, making it a unique and special place to live and visit. Colorado families are diverse, warm, and welcoming. This diversity has allowed me to cater to various preferences and occasions, from seasonal and holiday photos to milestone captures and celebrations. I absolutely love watching families grow and develop friendly relationships with them, watching their babies grow in the studio brings such a sense of joy to my soul. Colorado’s changing seasons offer year-round opportunities for family photography. Whether it’s capturing fall foliage, snowy scenes, or spring blooms. Each season presents unique settings to please clients and create long-lasting memories. Whenever the weather is too cold or too hot, we always have our climate-controlled studio to offer comfortable sessions to our Colorado families. What services do you offer? We specialize in high- quality Studio and Outdoor photography for expecting moms, newborns, Cake Smashes, and Family Sessions. Our albums, prints, folio boxes, and wall art not only decorate but also make each home happier and cozier.
