Why did you choose Stapleton as your neighborhood to live & work in? What about this neighborhood jives with your business culture?

My family has lived in Stapleton for 5 years. I love the family-friendly focus of the neighborhood, which is important with three kids in tow – ages 4, 12, and 13. I also love that I don’t feel like I am too far from the city, so that I can enjoy (at least sometimes!) all the great activities it offers.

I am a documentary family photographer where I focus more on authentic moments versus forced poses. My “in the moment” approach captures the true personalities of kids and the real interactions of families. Overall, I describe my style as a photographic storyteller. Naturally, with Stapleton being such a family-friendly neighborhood, my business culture fits right in. I have found that more and more, families are seeking out photography sessions that are different than the traditional approach and are gravitating more toward my storytelling, photojournalistic type approach.

 

Why are you passionate about your business? What is the story?

During my daughter’s birthday celebration at her preschool, I was asked what she was like when she was “little”. With all the craziness of “babyhood”, a lot of these precious memories evaporated from my mind (when she was a baby, my photography focus was more on poses and less on real life moments). I don’t want that to ever be the case again, as I want to remember all the stages of her childhood and all their idiosyncrasies. This goal has helped propel me into my photojournalistic approach, as I also want to help my clients retain those type of memories as well, through photography. Photos of families/kids with beautiful backdrops are to be cherished for sure, but they don’t hold the same kind of meaning for me as the “in-between”, “in the moment” photos that tell the real story of a family, show the true personalities of the kids, and visually record what life was like at that particular time in a family’s life.

 

What inspired the look of your business?

My style of photography inspired the design of my business. I have had my photography described as real, clean, modern and timeless – and those same words could also describe my website, logo and the overall design of my business.
