Hey there, I’m Cara!
I’ve lived in Denver for over 10 years, and honestly? The mountains still make me stop in my tracks. I moved here searching for a more fulfilled life, and spoiler alert—I found it. Not just in the epic views, but in my camera, my favorite people, and in chasing moments that matter.
When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll probably find me:
Hanging out with the love of my life, Adam.
Exploring new corners of Colorado (always on the hunt for epic views).
Snuggling with my cat while reading a good book
Hustling for last-minute Red Rocks tickets
Dancing around my house to whatever Taylor Swift song fits the vibe
Caffeinating like it’s an Olympic sport
Watching the Broncos and Avs (and occasionally yelling at the TV)
Eating sushi like it’s my love language
WHAT I BELIEVE…
Love is meant to be celebrated. Hands down. Regardless of age, gender identity, sexual orientation, ethnicity, or race. Every single couple getting married deserves the most amazing wedding day experience. I am so humbled to have a career where I can celebrate all the love and diversity, and share it with the world the way it should be shared.
You’ll Know We’re a good fit if…
You care about intention more than Instagram trends. You want your wedding day to feel like you—messy, magical, emotional, and unforgettable. You love laughing until it hurts. You’re okay with a little chaos: dogs crashing the shot, petals falling where they may, dancing in the rain, hair flying in the wind. You want someone on your team who’s part photographer, part hype person, and full-time storyteller.

For over 12 years, I’ve been photographing weddings and life’s biggest milestones. And let me tell you—it never gets old. There’s nothing quite like freezing a laugh, a tear, or that “wait—did that just happen?” moment in time so you can relive it forever. Losing my parents made me realize just how much these small, fleeting moments mean—they’re everything.

I FOUGHT THE HARD FIGHT
Last year, I was diagnosed with Triple Negative Breast Cancer, and my world was completely turned upside down—chemo, a year of immunotherapy, four surgeries, and radiation. Going through it all made me realize just how precious every single moment is. Now, on the other side, with cancer’s ass officially kicked, I’m beyond grateful to be back to some sort of normalcy—and even more in love with what I do. Being a wedding photographer has always been my passion, but surviving this journey has made me appreciate even more the joy of capturing life’s most beautiful, fleeting moments.
