Denver Couples Photographer


The Perfect Summer Session featuring a Couple, their sweet Dog, and Golden Light


Bear Creek Lake, Lakewood, Colorado


Some sessions just click.


It was a summer evening in Lakewood — warm but not too hot,  trees filled with lush greens, most lake-goers had gone home for the date. The foothills doing that casual Colorado thing where they show up and look stunning without trying. That’s where I met this couple. Just the two of them, and their dog, who immediately made it clear she was not here to sit still.

As a Denver couple photographer, I’ve learned that the best photos usually happen in between the poses. When a outruns their people, or when the sun hits just right through a line of trees.


We started in a forested area, green so full it felt like summer was shouting. Sun slipping through the branches, landing in soft pockets of light.

Then we headed to a field,  foothills in the distance, golden light sliding across everything. Their sweet pup loved playfully exploring this area.

Last stop: we headed down to the lake right at blue hour.

If you’re looking for a Denver couple photographer who’ll let your dog crash the session, who chases light but not perfection — I’m here for it.
