From the moment you drive into the beautiful box canyon, Telluride fills your mind with peace and your lungs with fresh mountain air. I'm amazed I found a way to pull off a third summer up here surrounded by new and old friends, as well as a job as staff photographer at my favorite camp in the world.
Telluride Academy first hired me back in 2015 for a few weeks as an intern. I had no idea what was in store at the time, but I'm so glad I came back another summer to build on that foundation. The sense of community in this town is unparalleled; everyone looks out for each other and cares for the environment around them.
In addition to running around Telluride + beyond snapping photos of fun-loving kiddos, I hosted some family portrait sessions at some of my favorite places around the box canyon. Meeting each family and getting to know the unique personalities of each kid might be my favorite part of the job.
Moving to Colorado has been a nine year long dream of mine that I finally made a reality. I can't wait to take portraits of amazing families + kids all around this state for years to come.
