My Top 10


10. Fall's last leaf... I am a huge bokeh addict and I just love the way this seasons last leaf is just perfectly set among the creamy velvet bokeh of the background.



9. Breydon - Isn't he a cutie, by far my favorite baby photo.



8. Kara & Scott Formal - I love the bouquet on this. The angle is one that I have done before but the sky, their love, the colors it just all comes together for me here.



7. Bryn & Daniel's Wedding Party - I often try my hand at being creative with my photos. What happens more often than not is I love it in the moment then hate it the next week. I love the texture and the cross processing on this. Gives it that little extra.



6. Maroon Bells - Aspen, CO I would love to take credit for this shot being so well... AMAZING. The truth is probably everyone who goes there gets this shot. I love it none the less.



5. Jennifer and Allen - I am a tight shooter. I like things to be close up. Now my husband well he likes wide angle, to show the whole picture. I think I love this photo because it is so different for me. One of my favorite things in the world is the dark contrasty look after a rain. I think this photo embodies that for me.



4. Sarah & Brian - I've captured love, peace, tranquility, bliss... Never have I ever captured PASSION like this. Sarah & Brian were so much fun to work with, up for anything. This is fire, intensity and love all wrapped up into one photo.



3. The Dress - Flare when done in an artistic way can be so beautiful. I take a LOT of dress shots... I love this one. The way the dress sihlouettes against the stained glass windows is just so symbolic. Beautiful!



2. Chloe - For those of you who may not know my husband and I suffered a loss when I miscarried in October. Life didn't stop, work didn't stop in fact I shot a wedding AND an engagement session that very weekend. While on the way back from the wedding to the engagement session we got stalled on a google detour through Rocky Mountain National Park. In the middle of a snowstorm there was this clearing of picturesque aspen trees. I found peace in those trees, that moment...



1. The One - I cannot even begin to express how much of a difference it makes to have someone love and support you as much as my husband does. This is my favorite photo of this year. It is of a note that was included with my new camera. I've never been loved so much!

How did you narrow it down to only 10?! These are all amazingly beautiful photos each with it's own story - which is what makes you such a great photographer.
