Colorado Family Photography

Info + Pricing

from your messiest adventures to the swankiest ones
candidly capturing it all

Fun, laid back and candid documentation of all of your family’s adventures

My favorite photos to look back on from my childhood are the ones where my parents are doing something with me or my siblings. It’s the impromptu snaps that do it for me. Not the posed holiday card photos of us all dressed up and looking at the camera.

My fondest memories from before my parents got a divorce are from our family road trips and fishing trips. I used to have a photo of me standing inside a payphone booth at the airport on the phone and my dad was on the phone in the payphone right next to it.

I promise you, your children’s favorite photos when they grow up will be the ones with you in them.

There is no more awesome time to hire a photographer than for that family fishing trip. Or that family vacation. And I don’t mean a photographer to come do a posed photoshoot of everyone looking at the camera. I mean to truly capture the family time on that trip. The laughs when you’re playing yard games or making dinner around the campfire. Or your annual 4×4 trip around the San Juan Mountains.

Meet Nat, Your Fun, Laid Back & Candid Adventure Family Photographer

lead with love, be grateful, give grace and have fun! – Nat

I’ve been documenting my family’s adventures since I was a kid. I used throw away underwater film cameras in elementary school. I got my first Olympus Tough camera in 7th grade. I took photos long before I was ever good at it. LOL

I believe our fun adventures with family are the best time hire a photographer. I come along with you like one of the gang and capture things naturally.

Those moments when you watch your kids explore nature and play together. When you get to show your little ones the adventures you love to do for fun.

Bring me along on any family adventure. From that annual 4×4 trip, to the family camping trips, to going snow tubing, to that snorkeling trip in the Florida Keys.

My Photography Style

How I edit your photos…

My editing style is true to life, clean and colorful.
I pick several photos that’ll transition to well to b&w and include those in your gallery, too.

What I’m like on your family adventure…

I’m a fun, laid back and candid photographer (human). I’m slow to start taking photos until everyone gets more comfortable with me. I start with getting to know the kiddos and having fun with them. The parents and other family can help by joining in our conversation. Sessions are super adventurous in nature as we walk and talk, letting the little ones feel free to explore.

I’ve been asking my family to model for me since I’ve been asking my family to model for me since I was a teenager. Now they ask me to photograph them. 🥰✨

*edited to add*
Little did I know that as I was posting this post yesterday hundreds of children feared for their lives while 19 of their classmates and 2 of their teachers were murdered right in front of them. With 17 more wounded bodies all around them.

This just shouldn’t be.

I thought about deleting this post.. as dozens of children are mourned this morning it feels selfish to be posting from my trip with my little loves. My little loves that are all varying school ages. But I decided I’m not deleting it. As I looked at them all I’m reminded of one of the biggest reasons I’ve always pushed photography into my family and friendships. We know how much we cherish photographs & videos today, but how much will we cherish them tomorrow? 

Love and live with everything you have today.
It’s my first day of class to get certified as a It’s my first day of class to get certified as a Wilderness First Responder! 🤩🏔

Will I be getting a job as such and rescuing people for a living? No, well I sure hope I don’t have any rescues to do ever😅 But I will be able to provide all clients with first aid and rescue in the case of an emergency in the backcountry after May 12th! I hope I never have to do this but just in case, I’m here for you in every way possible. ❤️‍🩹

This will also lead me into getting hiking & backpacking guide certified. I’m super stoked to be able to add (legit) guiding to my services for clients! I want you all to be in the best hands possible and have the best experience in the outdoors. 

Cheers to many more (safe & injury free) adventures! ✨🏔✨

I love all y’all ♥️ for supporting my busine I love all y’all ♥️ for supporting my business by booking with me or commenting on my posts or clicking on my links or sharing my work with others or for simply being here and enjoying the content that I put out. I appreciate all of it and all of you so very very much. 

Without you there would be nothing.. I would have no business and quite frankly, very little happiness since photography, adventures and love are what drive me. 

I’m so grateful for this community and this outlet to create and share and interact with so many people I’d never get to otherwise. I’ve met my very best friends through social media. Heck, I met my husband on MySpace (😝🥰) like 13 years ago. So also, thank you social media and it’s creators and upkeepers! 

So just thank you. Thank you for being you. Thank you for being here. Thank you for sharing yourselves with me (in person or online)! You are loved. You are more than enough. And you are amazing! ♥️♥️♥️

There isn’t much that is better than animals on There isn’t much that is better than animals on wedding days ✨ it doesn’t matter what kind. Your pets or wildlife, it all makes me giddy.

But I’m dying to photograph a horseback elopement! Did you know you can do a guided horseback camping trip in the mountains? It’d be so freaking cool to head a few miles into the backcountry on horseback. Not having to carry your stuff and having camp set up for you. Then you get to relax and enjoy each other by the camp fire while dinner is made. Before waking up to say your vows as the sun rises… okay maybe you get ready with the sun and head off on horseback to say your vows somewhere even more private. I’m go with the flow! 

Ughhh, maybe it’s just me and my South Dakota born, horseback riding, camping loving, adventurous self but this sounds so dreamy.. 😍

You can do this kind of trip with a company like @halfmoonpacking 🙌

I’m ready for summer and more mountain adventure I’m ready for summer and more mountain adventure days like this one with friends! I’m excited to see more places that I haven’t yet, camp in all the places and paddle board on some gorgeous alpine lakes. 🤩

Another epic summer is ahead!
Sharing because sometimes I want to be a landscape Sharing because sometimes I want to be a landscape photographer and travel influencer. 

Who am I kidding? I’m hoping to actually be that right now. Even with just my cell phone photos 😁 I had my camera with me here because I was doing an engagement shoot but I think I legit forgot to take a photo with it because the sun went away and I was cold. My brain doesn’t work that well when I get too cold. 😆

If you haven’t been to Maroon Bells in Aspen I highly suggest adding it to your must see list! This is during sunset and that alpenglow is just 😍. Just know that you need a reservation for parking (day parking and overnight parking you’re planning a hiking or backpacking trip). 

If you want to shoot here hit ya girl up! They’ve got an awesome little amphitheater space that you can rent for ceremonies, too. It’s for ceremonies only and holds up to 50 ppl. You can rent out the picnic site just a few miles away for your reception. Just go to Recreation.gov and search Maroon Bells Amphitheater. But be sure to do your research and snag your date and time right when it opens as it’s a popular one! I’m pretty sure it’s already booked for 2022. 🥺 oh and don’t forget to get your parking or shuttle passes either!

Adventures aren’t strictly for the mountains… Adventures aren’t strictly for the mountains… every now and then ya girl enjoys an urban adventure with my couples. 😍 And with my hubs. 👩🏼‍🤝‍👨🏾👩🏼‍❤️‍👨🏽

It’s fun to explore the city but I’m glad living in Colorado gives me the option of city and mountain adventures! 

If you love adventuring in Denver sometimes but chose to elope in the mountains (because well duh😍) you can still celebrate your love with both and have an urban adventure engagement session! We’ve got some really cool art, architecture and indoor spots to explore! Basically, I follow you around on your date night in the city. 😍

If you know the artists of the street art in these photos please tag their IGs! I lost my notes with the artists listed but I really love to support them and share their work when I get to. ✨

As much as creating a new website has been a pain As much as creating a new website has been a pain in the butt, going back and blogging past weddings again has been so much fun!

I’ll never forget this epic and untraditional wedding of Kelsey & Matthews. They entered their ceremony together from a pedicab. They had their guests delivered to the ceremony via pedicab and then had flower crowns and boutonnières for them all to wear. Instead of a first dance  and parent dances they did a first corn hole toss against each other on teams with their mother and father. And instead of fancy table flowers they chose an epic floral wall as a backdrop for all their group pics. 

How freaking cute is Kelsey and her grandma? The wind blew grandma’s dress up for her Marilyn Monroe moment. 😆

They hired the dream team of vendors to help make their day stress free and perfect. And I’d say we nailed it. 😉

Now that’s my kinda wedding! 😍

Well I was dreaming of summer and then…. ❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️🏂❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️🤩 

…we chased a 46” storm and got the epic blue bird powdy day of our dreams. Now I can’t stop thinking about powdy and I’m hoping March and April bring copious amounts of snow to the mountains near me.

Photography has brought so many amazing humans int Photography has brought so many amazing humans into my life. I’m forever grateful to the photo community I have. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Taking photographs has been apart of my life for the past 23ish years. I’ve always searched out moments and views worthy of a shot. I’ve been fortunate to get to travel throughout and a camera has always been part of my arsenal. Being a photographer pushes me further in everything I do.​​​​​ Further hikes and adventures, further growth. 
​​​​​​​​
I had a friend who is also a photographer tell me that I work everywhere I go and never take a break because I bring my camera everywhere to take photos or want to create content on adventures and trips. But what they didn’t realize is I’m doing what makes me happy. Just because my camera is now what pays my bills doesn’t mean it isn’t still my best friend. I didn’t pick up a camera as an adult just to start a business. Or because I wanted to capture parenthood and then it turned into a hobby business. ​​​​​​​​No busting on people who did, it’s just not my story.
​​​​​​​​
My camera is an extension of me, it has been an extension of me for as long as I can remember. And I never want to become so into using it as just a tool for money that I stop using it as a tool for my pure, unadulterated joy.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
I was sad when someone who I thought was my best friend said that to me. Because they meant it in a mean and horrible way. But they only said that because I don’t take a “break from work” in the same exact way that they do. I didn’t perfectly align with their vacations the way they wanted, because I take photos for fun and not just for work, and they simply don’t.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
But I’ve found people. The ones who want to stop for photos as much as I do. The ones who feel the same about their camera & images, beyond the work purposes it serves. It doesn’t even have to be anything more than our phone cameras a lot of the time, it just sparks joy to create all the time. ✨📸🙏🥰♥️
All Who Wander for all who wander 😍✨🤍 ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Adventurous brides are my favorite 🥰 ​​​​​​​​
