LIVE LIFE BEAUTIFULLY

“The most intimate sign of affection you can show someone is giving them your undivided attention. I think that’s incredibly rare.”

- M. Bliss

My style is created by imagery that lasts a lifetime from weaving classic, timeless and elegant components into the process. My clients value photographs that are bright and rich in natural colors, and highlight candid emotions and moments in time. By providing my clients with more than just beautiful pictures, I give them an experience that they'll cherish for years to come.

YOUR PASSPORT TO A beautiful life STARTS WITH A GREAT PHOTO.

I’M HERE TO HELP YOU create it.

Hello, and welcome! I’m Colleen, and I’m so happy that you’re here. For as long as I can remember, I’ve always found myself capturing beauty in the mundane and magic in the ordinary. I believe that every person, every object, every space has a story to tell, and it's my purpose to help share those stories through my lens.

This drive for purpose and meaning has fueled my life’s work and gives me the energy that I embrace each day with.

I often find myself drawn to these things - A glimpse of the afternoon sunlight as it dances across the floor. The first bite of a favorite meal. The colors in the sky when day turns to night. I believe that finding beauty in the ordinary can help us cultivate a sense of gratitude. When we take the time to appreciate the little things, we begin to see the world through a lens of positivity and abundance.

WHAT CLIENTS ARE SAYING

KELSEY

“In the last couple of years, I've stayed consistent with Colleen shooting me. I'm comfortable with her, she's super receptive to what my intention / direction is with each shoot and we've gotten in a good cadence so I couldn't recommend working with her more. I feel the most ‘me’ when I'm in front of her lens and she's confident moving me as she sees fit.”
