{Cattlemens Queen | KiKi Creates |Crested Butte, Co}

A couple months ago I was contacted to put together a mini styled shoot. Heather, at Industry Hair Salon was interested in doing a shoot with the cattlemens queen. It embraced all those mountain, Colorado vibes and even included a dressing room in a barn, a beautiful horse with braids and the ever so graceful Cattlemens Queen. She is apart of the sixth generation of Spanns to live in the Gunnison Valley. And her family ranch is a beautiful property to walk around. Check out our moody sunset with these two!
Enjoy!

{Allison&Dave | Wedding at Antler Hill Barn | KiKi…

Besides the absolutely beautiful setting and arrangement of Allison & Dave’s wedding day, there is one thing I remember, even a year later. How thoughtful these two are. From the first time talking with Allison, I knew she was going to be a great person to work with. Her and Dave are just the nicest, sweetest, most intelligent duo. I can remember multiple times I was thanked and hugged by these two throughout their wedding day. Even right before the first look, literally as Allison was about to walk down, Dave was so kind to pull me aside and thank me for being there and took the time to let me know how important this all was to him. Then one of the most emotional first looks  I’ve been apart of took place. Everyone was crying (maybe even me) and to top it off their dog ran over moments later and gave them a big ‘ol hug and kiss.
This was an effortlessly, loving day that could only be created by two people that were truly meant to be. Happy one year Allison & Dave!

{Alyssa&Drew | Wedding at Chief Hosa Lodge | KiKi…

Hearing Alyssa and Drew’s story as high school sweethearts reminds me of a real life version of a romantic movie from the 1990’s. It’s adorable and sweet and their bold and beautiful wedding day did everything to compliment it.
The rustic lodge they were married in was decorated with richly colored glasses and greenery. Medieval candelabras and wooden accents were scattered to create a warm and inviting feel. Their heartfelt speeches filled the cozy room as some people warned next to the brick fireplace huddled together.
On top of the gorgeous details, nothing makes me smile more than a wedding with doggie guests. Alyssa and Drew started their day with a first look at a frozen lake with their pup. The three of them came together as a family and were married in front of a backdrop of snow capped mountains. The night ended with a golden sunset walk through the woods. It was such a gorgeous day. Enjoy!

{Mother & Daughter Session | KiKi Creates | Crested…

My good friend Courtney had a photo session planned with her mom when she came in town this past summer. When she first approached me she asked, “is it weird for a 30 year old to do a mother daughter session? I always see it with little kids.” It’s true, but just because you don’t see it doesn’t mean it can’t be done! And that is the true Courtney Burton way!
In honor of my mother’s birthday week and the fact that I would love to have a mother daughter session with my mom, I’ve posted these lovely photos. Courtney, Debbie, Birdie the dog and I took a hike around the wildflowers, mountains and river bends and documented their adorable and loving personalities.
Enjoy this warm, smiley Colorado session on this cold winter day!
