Children Lifestyle Headshot Loveland Ft Collins Northern Colorado
It all started with my husband buying mustache stickers for my 3 y/o daughter as one of her stocking stuffings. She woke up in the morning asking if she can put them on. So of course, I had to take my camera out. But because it kept falling off, she decided to ditch it one minute after. Hence I only got one good photo of her with it. Haha

Lifestyle Natural Light Engagement Photo Shoot in Ft Collins
My beautiful niece and her fiance came to visit us in CO today. She recently got engaged to J and we couldn't be happier for both of them. They are one of the most caring, loving, and compassionate people we know. And we got to try out the golden hour in the morning instead of my usual sunset time. It was incredibly beautiful watching the sky turn from black to blue, then to bloody red as if it was on fire to gold. Thanks guys for spending time with us and congratulations once again. We love you and hope you like these.
Merry Christmas!

Family Children Maternity Senior Pet Lifestyle Candid Portrait Photographer in Loveland, Ft. Collins, and other Northern Colorado
Long time no blog!
I have been so busy with my 3 year old and life. Oh who am I kidding...I got lazy blogging. Let's face it, I'm not good with words. I'm a visual girl, hence, photography.
The past month, life happened and it was turned upside down. Something drastic like that has to happen to reassess what's important to me. I always knew my family comes first no questions asked. Then I reexamined myself regarding photography. I.LOVE.IT. So why did I get lazy updating my blog, being more visible on social medias and on the internet? I think because I love it so much, I was afraid of taking risks and facing the reality...marketing myself and anything and everything that has to do with running a business. I'm shy in a new environment and with people so talking about myself to strangers greatly heightens my anxiety. My easy defense mechanism was "I don't NEED the business aspect of it." But actually, I do.
So during this time, I had to reevaluate what's my top priority as a photographer. QUALITY. I'm talking besides the high quality equipment I use and need/want (it depends on who you ask). My strength is using the beautiful CO backdrops and the lighting to compose in a way that shows the personalities of my subjects. Photos are something that freezes in time but again, they're a still shot. But my work shows that I still capture these fleeting moments as they are. No reel needed. No sound needed. One still image that will bring you back all the memories of your loved one and how they were at that moment in time. And my hope is that these qualities are as important to you as they are to me.
And I wanted to leave you with Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! For more information, please visit my website:

Family Children Maternity Lifestyle Portrait Photographer in Loveland, Ft Collins, Northern Colorado
Beth is my daughter's music teacher from Tiny Tunes Music Together here in Loveland, CO. C adores Beth and I have to say she is one of the best children music teacher I have met so far. I do have a very high expectation for music teachers as I once was a classical piano major and my hubby majored in jazz studies in saxophone. When we first walked into the class, both my daughter and I were nervous about it...but not for too long. She is a gifted singer and better yet, an amazing teacher who exudes her passion for children and music. So when she asked me to do her family portrait shoot with her two very energetic boys with minds of their own, I immediately said yes! I mean this family is gorgeous! Thank you Beth and Ian! You guys make beautiful babies. ;)
And lots and lots of props to dad who was thoroughly engaged in the shoot with the boys.
