Sharing my work
“Art is not what you see, but what you make others see.” ~Edward Degas
We all ‘see’ differently. Take a few photographers on a mountain trail and even if we photograph the same thing, the images will be different. Here I share what I see.
Behind the scenes
Learning how other artists work is fascinating to me. Their individual process can offer validation or information. Creativity is a marvelous thing unique to each individual. I’ll take you behind the scenes of my own work and process in these posts.
Self Portrait: A Muted Palette

What a lovely photoshoot and interview. Leonie was my first in-studio portrait session and this is one of my favorite images from our session. You can read Leonie's interview here.
Editing Lightly
Every photographer has their own style in how they work, especially how they like to edit. I wrote about how I work and why I tend to edit lightly here.
Wise Women Project: Dana Willett
I photographed Dana on a picture-perfect day on her Boulder farm. There was the inevitable chaos with dogs, horses and loose chickens, and all of that is what made our work together so special. Seeing someone in the place she is meant to be always is. Read her...
College Headshot
Raul Dominguez is a doctoral conducting student at CU Boulder, and was one of my favorite photo shoots! Raul was in need of a headshot but on a student's budget, and I was honored to help. What a charismatic and talented young man! I can't wait to see all the places...
