Fort Collins, Colorado Intimate Portraits | Meet Me

Hey lovely!  Thanks for popping over.  There have been quite a few new faces over on the Instagram and in the private facebook group and I wanted to take a moment to introduce myself to those of you that haven’t met me yet.

I’m a cyclist.  I have to tread this topic carefully because I can easily get carried away.  I’ve been riding since I was 21 and had to get around town and to work when I didn’t have or want a car.  Since then, I’ve chosen to bicycle rather than drive as much as possible.  And, I often joke that, if I weren’t a photographer and mom (both very much full time jobs), I’d be a full time cycling advocate because I get so fired up about cycling and sharing the road.  I credit the dudes I used to ride with for my feisty ways.  More than a few told me there was no way I could ride such a great bicycle (apparently having a vagina and not a dick means I can’t be a good cyclist) and I learned pretty quickly to leave them in the dust.

 

I’m a mom. This is probably my most favorite (and stressful) role.  I’m lucky to have two dudes that put a new perspective on my world and who, each day, show me how strong love can be; there isn’t a moment that goes by that I’m not amazed by them and all they bring to the world around them.

 

Music is HUGE in my life.  Chances are good that, if you show up at my door or drive anywhere with me, music is playing.  I’d rather listen to tunes than watch television.  And my tastes vary depending on my mood but I have a core collection of favorites: Hanson, Otis Redding, Jon Pardi, Alkaline Trio, and Silverchair (and anything Daniel Johns creates.)  I’m tempted to just list all my favorites here but that would be a long list.  I grew up listening to Aerosmith as most other New Englanders my age and I will always have a soft spot for Steven Tyler’s art as well.

 

I’m a photographer.  This is self-explanatory  and you can read more about my background in photography and why intimate portraits are my heart here.  Also, since I began doing self portraits each month back in 2017, I’ve come to realize that my favorite asset is my tush.  And I hate showing my face on camera.  But, in the next few months, I’m challenging myself to shoot something other than my ass and more of my face.

 

I’m a Taurus.  As such, I’m quite stubborn (as evidenced by my rigid share-the-road ideals) and love to indulge in nice things (my lingerie closet is full of only the very nicest things and fancy hotels are my jam.)

 

I’d love to get to know you as well.  Head over to the private (ladies-only, for now) facebook group and introduce yourself!
