Walden, CO: Michelle & Raudy

Boy, do we have a treat for you today!

It’s not every shoot that I spent the entire day with a couple before their shoot.  Michelle and Raudy and I hit it off so well from the moment we first met.  And after we got to talking, we realized Raudy and I both love to fish.  :-) So bless their heart, these two took me fishing in Raudy’s hometown of Walden, Colorado.  We met bright and early for breakfast and spent the morning at the lake.  We got rained out and didn’t catch anything.  But we had some beer and great conversations. :-)

After fishing we got ready and had a killer engagement shoot.  I cannot wait for their wedding next June!  These are just the most laid back couple, ready for adventure.  We really had a blast together.  We started shooting at a gorgeous Colorado ranch that Raudy’s dad manages.  From there we made our way to some aspen trees, but made a few stops along the highway to create some of my favorite engagement images ever.

Oh and after our shoot… we shot clay pigeons together.  What a fun day!! I can honestly say that all our hangout time made their session just a total breeze.

Enjoy these two!

Love you, M&R.  Lots. And lots.

P.S. Their dog Diesel is the coolest, most obedient dog I have ever met.  Love him.

With 20 years of experience, I bring a calm, steady presence to your most meaningful days. I specialize in documenting relationships over time—from weddings and anniversaries to babies and families—with a love for black-and-white imagery, honest moments, and photographs that belong in albums, not just on a feed. There are no forced poses or “pretend to” prompts here, only space for what’s real. I’m not just here for the highlight; I’m here for the history you’re creating.

And I can't wait to capture your story
