colorado wedding photographer & colorado elopement photographer

I'm Callie. 
I promise, I won't talk about myself in the third person like so many photographers like to do in their bios. lol. 

​

I married my husband 10 years ago this year. I talked a little bit on my home page about the adventure of being married and we've had a lot.

We've absolutely gone on some more traditional adventures through our marriage like going on some awesome road trips down to Spring Training, camping with our Chocolate Lab and even rolling an ATV together - yikes. We've visited over 30 countries together and having an amazing destination wedding overlooking the ocean in my mom's hometown San Clemente.

But as you will learn in your own marriage, not all the adventures are glamorous. On one of those trips to Spring Training, our 8 week old chocolate lab ate all the toilet paper in the hotel room while we were sleeping and we ended up with some emergency vet bills. Or the time we pulled up the nasty old carpet in our living room to replace it with hardwood only to discover that the concrete subfloor wasn't at all level. We really got ourselves in over our heads and basically the end result was my husband and my dad getting a cement grinder to try and fix it.... it only took us another 2 years to just get carpet in there instead. haha. We had to do In Vitro which blessed us with our amazing son Jakey... but it also put us through the trials of infertility and miscarriage. We started our own small businesses at right about the same time and have continued to run them together, encourage each other and help each other with new ideas and taking things off the other person's plate. 
We have had the adventure of figuring out how to be parents every single day of the week since our feisty, strong willed little boy came into the world.We've had the adventure of figuring out how to travel with a baby, then a toddler and now a little boy to 30+ countries on 3 continents and 18 states. We've had the adventure of teaching him how to skate and potty training. 

Adventure as a married couple never stops.
It just changes with your season of life.
My parents have been married for over 30 years. 

They have definently showed me that the adventure is the best part of marriage. They do cool stuff like hiking the Matterhorn, drinking radlers with strangers at the top and then having to practically hike-run back down to the lift at the midway point because they are closing at dusk.
But I've also seen their adventures of the hot water heater flooding their newly finished basement.... their adventure of finding out about some of my high school parties and their adventures of raising kids together. But the cool thing is... like my husband and I, they met very young. They grew up together and now they are growing old together.
That's the adventure I want.
