Hey, I’m Ky!
Northern Colorado Elopement + Couples Photographer | Le Bootae Boudoir | THE ONE BEHIND THE CAMERA
Ky | She/ They
I believe in capturing raw moments that are a genuine reflection of your life, your story, your relationships, and visualizing the You that You want to be seen as.
My heart is in the rawness of life- we all have a story that deserves to be held, to be created, to be honored and to be seen. That is my goal- to create images that honor your story whether that is filled with emotion, depth, laughter, or a calmness that needs to be felt visually.
Life is never perfect and the expectation that images are always supposed to be posed, is simply not my style. I love movement, light, connection and all the little moments that truly capture the essence of existence. I focus on couples and elopements in the Rocky Mountains but absolutely adore boudoir as well. It has been the most beautiful experience getting to help people heal, see themselves, and embrace body love over the past decade.
I am trauma informed, lgbtqia+ owned and safe, human inclusive and will always show diversity and a wide spread of humans on my site.
You are safe, seen and loved with me.
I started my photography journey back in high school when my art teacher got thoroughly annoyed with me finishing projects too quickly, so he told me I couldn’t paint anything that I hadn’t taken the photograph of. I never put my camera down after that.
I graduated from Colorado State University in 2013 with my bachelors in fine art photography, a minor in psychology and completed a study abroad program in Italy for art.
After graduating I taught art to adults with developmental special abilities, which combined my love for teaching, creating and using art to express emotions that words can’t always. After working full time in the art program and working almost full time as a freelance photographer, I decided to go full time and chase after this dream I had to create art full time.
That was well over a decade ago and here I am. My heart has always wanted to show people that they are magically seen, even when they struggle to see it. My love for psychology has driven my need to create emotional images, that show the beauty and rawness of life. To create memories and show the little pieces of life through my lens.
I grew up in the Mountains, in and around Estes Park, CO and fell in love with getting completely lost in the mountains. I am always ready to hike, adventure and turn sessions into something a bit more magical than simply smiling at the camera.
Most of my clients become dear friends, because I value relationships and experiences and will pour my heart into you.
I get way too excited when things are pretty, when the wind blows just right and when the sun makes magical light beams so don’t be surprised if I bounce or dance like a little kid during your session. It’s just because I am excited for you.
I absolutely adore wild mountain sessions, fun elopements and sweet families who know how to play.
Life is as beautiful as you choose to make it.
I live on a little bit of land in Cheyenne, WY but grew up and work in Northern Colorado primarily. I have a tiny human, who is fully raised wild- we hike, adventure, travel, garden, have animals and live life a little off the beaten path. I believe in experiences over things and that kids should grow up playing and getting a little messy. We have 2 dogs, a cat, and an olddddd chicken.
LET’S TELL YOUR STORY.
