Testimonials
"Amazing is hands down the best decision we made! I originally found Amazing on the preferred vendor list for Christies of Genesee, and after working with her on four separate occasions, I cannot recommend her enough.
One of her greatest strengths is her incredible versatility. She flawlessly used a light, vibrant style for our 70s-themed engagement shoot, and completely switched gears to a gorgeous dark, moody style for our black and burgundy wedding. She also captured a beautiful family session with our twin toddlers and totally embraced my spooky bachelorette party vision!
Amazing is down-to-earth, funny, and makes you feel instantly comfortable in front of the camera. She was our biggest cheerleader when Joe and I wanted to incorporate our nerdy Sims, Minecraft, and Pokémon touches into our wedding day. Her photos are breathtaking, and I'm honored to now call her a friend.
If you need a Colorado photographer, book her—you won't regret it! 📸🖤."

Amazing, the business owner, also did our engagement photoshoot as part of our wedding package, which gave a us a chance to get to get to know each other before our big day. Such an awesome idea. We were so excited to see her on our wedding day! Amazing is funny, sharp, kind and professional in the best way. She was exactly what I needed as a bride – someone skilled and experienced who I completely trusted to tell us what to do, when I was too giddy and excited to tell people where to stand for which photos.

"Do you need an amazing photographer for you wedding?! Look no further because Amazing is literally amazing! We had a couple phone conversations before the wedding and we definitely clicked. We were planning a somewhat Star Wars wedding and Amazing came through. Not only did she take incredible pictures but helped us with ideas and even planning. I am such a awkward person and was so worried about pictures. She got me to pose and feel comfortable and I see the pictures like is this even me?! She's laid back and so fun to be around. She made our wedding day so much extra special, she was there for every moment!!! The amount of time she spent on our pictures making sure every little detail was perfect and keeping in contact with us so we knew when we would be receiving them. I could literally go on and on and on about how awesome she is. Nobody else could have done what she did. 5 stars isn't enough, but that's the limit unfortunately lol!
