I should've always known that natural light photography was going to be my true passion....but I didn't put 2 and 2 together until about 5 years ago. I remember being in elementary school and staring out the panel of windows running across my 4th grade classroom thinking about how different the light was on an overcast day. I remember how I was always obsessed with being outside, even if it just meant to absorb the sunshine. I was always drawn to natural light, feeling a little depressed during the dark winter months when it was too cold to go outside. And now that I'm all grown, I still oooh and aaaah over a great sunset. I still love to stare at my husband's amazing eyes when the light hits perfectly. I still get this emotional tingle in my heart when the light is just right and I feel at total peace.
For me, photography is not just about a picture. It is about inspiration, beauty and pure emotion. I want clients to feel that same tug at their heartstrings when they view their own images, that is what I strive for. Because that feeling It is one of the best feelings ever!!

We started out on their farm for this senior session. The breeze wasn’t much but of course it was blowing in the wrong direction for her hair. That’s how it always seems to work. 
But it didn’t take long for the wind to slow down and we managed to finish up the rest of our session before the sun was completely gone. Nicole, you were loads of fun and it was wonderful meeting you and your mom.
Til next time,
Audrey
- Awesome job Audrey! You always do such a great job!
- So pretty. I love the one of her backlit in the tall grass in the field. Beautiful work!
The last time that I saw Calen, he was one of the shyest kiddos I’d ever met. Imagine my surprise when Mr. Chatty McChatterson walked in the door!!! Oh, we had such a good time and what a great big brother to adorable Drew. It doesn’t always work well trying to get siblings in one shot when there is a newborn and 4 year old involved but they were awesome!! Sessions like this give me a slight case of baby fever, shhhhh….don’t tell Brad.
RyAnn – you have some adorable kiddos!!
Thanks for stopping by my blog,
Audrey

Jennifer, my big sis, was not only my first maternity session but my very first session period. Her first session was my boost to start pursuing photography as a business, so I can’t thank her enough for all she’s done for me and this business. She helped spread my name and shared her photos with all her co-workers and friends. Thank you big sis!
Of course, she’s absolutely beautiful and I couldn’t have asked for better outfits! The weather was perfect, light was amazing and Noah was happy to pose! A perfect session, I think this could be my absolute fave to date!
Thanks for stopping by my blog, leave a comment and let me know who you are!

Just a quick shoutout to my husband…HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!! Can’t believe it’s been 9 years already….where has the time gone???
This guy is the man of my dreams, my rock, my hero and my best friend. In some ways, we are exactly the same….in other ways we are complete opposites. But we always seem to balance each other out. God definitley had a plan when he brought us together.
Happy 9 Year Anniversary B-Rad!!
Audrey
- Happy Anniversary Audrey & Brad! You guys are great couple! So glad I met you and look forward to seeing you in the near future!
- Happy belated anniversary you two! You two are the cutest couple and I'm so happy we've had the chance to meet. Congrats guys!
So I thought I’d try to add in a post here and there with my own photos. Seems that sometimes, I get so caught up in getting caught up that I forget to take pictures of the things in my own life. So I thought this picture would be an appropriate start.
When he was a puppy, we used to have a giant dog crate for each of the boys to sleep in at night until we trusted them enough to have run of the house. During the day, we would leave the crates open and whenever Rudy wasn’t getting constant petting or attention, he would sneak back to his crate. He loved that thing, it was his safe haven I suppose. Being a timid dog, he seemed to love the security of that little space. So one day, I couldn’t find one of my shoes and I thought I had lost my mind. I checked everywhere. So in a last ditch effort, I wandered through the house again only to find Rudy nestled in his crate, his head resting on top of my shoe. Not a bit of slobber on it, nothing ripped to shreds. I recovered my shoe and for a period of a few years, I never had to second guess where a shoe was again.
Fast forward to 9 years later. We finally moved into our new house and have an attached garage (yay). Brad always leaves his work boots right outside the door and I occassionally leave my running shoes there as well. One random day, one of my running shoes is found on his dog bed in the garage. And from there on, the shoe saga began again. I surrendered my running shoes to him that day as they were ready to retire anyway. But if I went outside and grabbed that shoe right now, I could still wear it….no ripped shoelaces, no torn sole. I consider it his security blanket or perhaps he just likes the smell from months and months of me jogging…..haha, that’d be gross!
He’s a quirky dog, but man….I love him.
Thanks for stopping in,
Audrey’
- What a sweet story Audrey! You gotta love man's best friend!
These two had a great time throughout the quick session we had making it super easy for me to capture their personalities! This session almost didn’t happen though, initially I couldn’t do it because I had a softball tournament scheduled. But the tourney didn’t get enough teams so at the last minute, we got it scheduled! Then I showed up and it was POURING!!! Thankfully, their reception was at a great little location and we had some indoor fun! Good ole dependable (NOT) Colorado weather.
Now….on to the photos.
Audrey
- I love these! My favs are the last one and the ones with the piano, oh and of him looking at her! Great work!!
- These are so cute! I love the piano one! Fabulous!
- What a FUN couple! These are great Audrey!!
Gotta take advantage of these kisses while he’s still giving ‘em out. Pretty soon he’ll be wrinkling up his nose and saying “ewwwww” when Aunt Odgie asks for a kiss.
Until next time,
Audrey
- Awwww, this is so cute Audrey! He is adorable!
- LOVE! So very cute...
These two were so much fun!! It’s not very often that two two boys so young and close in age can breeze through a session with not only great attitudes but actual interest in the crazy lady behind the camera….but that’s what happened. Tyler was chatting up a storm, telling me stories and having a great time as long as he knew we’d be headed to see a train soon, wow….those kids just don’t forget when you tell them we’ll be going somewhere (haha). Jase took a little longer to warm up to me but soon he was right along side his brother. What a pair!!
Those two made me smile.
Audrey
- Lovely Audrey! Such cute little boys! Your processing is excellent!
- Oh my! Seriously! How cute are they? I love the light, the color and the sweet little expressions. So fantastic, Audrey!
- They are such cuties! Love their outfits! :) Great photos!
- How cute are these little guys? You captured so many great expressions on them.
I just LOVE Michelle’s work, her editing is so unique!! So when I heard she was having a workshop in Cali, I was super excited. Now I’m not goin to lie, I did have to talk myself into going though because I am not much of a traveler….but so so glad I did. It was a great experience….I met a lot of other great photographer gals, made some new friends, got to photograph some super photogenic models, learned some new editing tips, and even got to spend an extra day just enjoying California. Those vacation pics will be in another post though. This post is all about the great models that Melody White (the local host of the workshop) provided. We had some great locations to work with including downtown Healdsberg and the amazing White Oak Winery. A big big thank you to Melody and Michelle for all the amazing detail they put into this wonderful workshop!! It was so wonderful making such great new friends and I hope that we all meet again soon!
xoxo,
Audrey
