Your wedding day deserves to be captured in a way that’s as bold and full of life as the love you share.
For couples who crave color, cherish the mountains, and want their wedding photos to feel as alive as their love.
Inspired by my horse, Indy, whose fearless spirit lives on through the name of my business, my photography style brings out the vibrant colors and energy of each moment. As a Colorado native, I feel a deep connection to the incredible landscapes here, and I love using those stunning backdrops to create images that feel natural yet unforgettable.
No matter if you’re dreaming of a big celebration at a stunning mountain resort or a quiet elopement under Colorado’s open skies, my team and I are here to bring your vision to life in the most meaningful way, capturing the candid fun, breathtaking scenes, tender moments, and all the colors that make your story yours.

But you can call me a bubbly mountain girlie, through and through.
As a sensitive soul, I’ve always been all about the arts. Music, dance, singing — if it was creative, I was in. But photography? That was my thing. I carried a camera everywhere, begged my parents to take me to Target for one-hour photo, and filled scrapbooks with snapshots of family vacations, photoshoots with friends, and school adventures. Little did I know, I was laying the foundation for what would become my dream career — capturing the meaningful moments that make life beautiful and tell all our stories.
The true story that ignited my own photography business…
Back in 2013, I had this adorable idea: to buy the cutest holiday pajamas for two of my friends’ babies (without them knowing, of course!), and set up a mini photoshoot using my cellphone while babysitting. I then surprised their mamas with custom blankets made from the photos I captured. The best part? They loved the photos so much, they gifted me my very first Canon camera — because they believed I had an eye for capturing moments that deserved more than just a phone camera.
At the time, I didn’t think a creative passion I loved like that could turn into a career. It wasn’t until my friends believed in me enough to push me forward that I even considered it seriously. Fast forward to today: what began as a joyful hobby in 2013 turned into a full-time business in 2018, a rebrand in 2021 (and again in 2024!), and continued growth since then. Every day, I’m grateful I get to do what I love, and I work hard to make them proud for believing in me from the very start!

My superpower is:
making you feel so dang comfortable in front of the camera that you and your partner not only enjoy the photo-taking process but get a gallery of images that hit you in all the feels!
I believe in:
Wearing whatever you want (this includes on your wedding day), long hugs, dancing anytime, anywhere.
I'm not about:
neutral colors ... ever.
You can find me:
Adventuring with my doggos and hubby, coffee dates with my besties, dancing like I get paid to do it and jamming to live music.
daily rituals:
Morning coffee and journaling, cuddles with Colt and our dogs, an at-home workout or a hike, meditating, and dancing in the kitchen while I cook.
signature cocktail:
Smokey Sunset (mezcal, orange liqueur, lime juice, blood orange syrup, sweet & sour, tajìn rim, orange)
If I were a song:
I would be Boogie Feet by Kesha.
I moved to Colorado in 2021, to live in a big city as I always had dreamed. As an OG Pacific Northwesterner, I am a mountain and lake girl by nature, But I have truly fallen in love with Denver to be my home. Between the people I have met, the various rocks and mountains, and the 300 days of sunshine, no matter the temperature, this place is a part of me. I have been in love with love my whole life; it's authentic, colorful and romantic yet filled with depth and emotion, that's exactly what I strive to capture and evoke on your best day! I desire to encourage you to feel as beautiful ...or handsome or... as amazing as you deserve. At your wedding, you will find me smiling so hard at your vows, crying at your speeches and dancing with your grandparents, or trying to get them on the dance floor so you can keep that moment forever.
When I am not being your professional cheerleader or a fly on the
wall, you will find me on my paddleboard somewhere, writing
poetry (see I told you I was a romantic) or eating watermelon
in some new travel destination.

My signature cocktail:
is a strawberry daiquiri with Malibu Rum, as that's about the only drink I will drink.
I’m the proud mom behind the scenes, helping Dani bring her creative vision to life. As her content creator and wedding day assistant, I handle all the fun stuff — capturing videos for marketing, creating personalized content for our couples on their big day, and making sure everything runs smoothly. I absolutely love the energy of wedding days — the laughter, the love, and the joy that fills the air. Getting to work alongside my daughter is such a gift, and it’s truly amazing to see her passion in action.

If I were a song:
I would be Dancing Queen by ABBA
My signature cocktail:
is a strawberry margarita because they’re fruity, sweet and FUN!
When I’m not dancing through wedding days (literally, I can’t resist a good song), you’ll find me enjoying coffee, singing along to my favorite tunes, or spending time with my sweet pups: Kiwi, my snuggly food-loving pug, and Rowdy, my lazy English Pointer. People, pets, music, and love are what light me up, and I’m so lucky I get to share all of that in this incredible job. I can’t wait to meet you and help make your wedding day even more magical!
I have the coolest job ever as the official Location Scout for Indy Pop Photo. It isn't just a title for me - it's a way of life.

With my super-duper senses and boundless energy, I sniff out the most jaw-dropping landscapes and hidden gems, just for you.
And hey, let's not forget the most important role I play: reminding everyone about the incredible bond between humans and dogs. My mom included me in her elopement, and you can include your doggos in your big day, too!
