MAR' 24

When I moved to Denver in 2015, I had a gig as a music writer for 303 Magazine. I was terrible at it. I honestly didn’t know much about music and took the job because it paid in concert tickets. Now, I’m married to a full-time musician (not the one pictured) and falling in love with concert photography. During my first concert photography gig, I noticed there was no coaching, no interaction with the subjects, and almost no multi-tasking on my part. I got behind the lens and dropped in.

Engagement shoots are the foil to live music shoots - there’s a lot of coaching, multitasking, and thinking about the next scene, pose, and facial expression. Some dear friends (pictured above) got engaged this March and asked me to take their engagement photos (honored and intimidated). Gratefully, they are silly and fun and created the perfect scenario for me to stumble through my first engagement photoshoot. 10/10 would do it again.
