reese and co portraits studio

A little about me.

I founded Reese & Co. with one reason in mind: as a mother of three beautiful children, I knew the one thing I would treasure into old age would be photos of them at every stage of life. Not photos living on relic phones or old hard drives. But albums, framed heirloom portraits, and boxes upon boxes of prints to thumb through.

But even as a photographer, I struggle to make this happen.

Reese & Co Portraits was born from my love of that unseen and magical family connection, a love for beautiful storytelling and art, and a strong desire to see you decorate your home with valuable family art that will grow in value over your lifetime.

With two teens and a tween, our lives are filled with sports, too much iPad time, skiing when we can, football games and cheer competitions. Note: we never look this put together.

my ride or die


We have been together over 20 years & married on January 7, 2006 in Denver. Despite the wintery month, it was a beautiful 70 degree day.

I grew up in the military traveling the world & have lived in California, Ohio, North Carolina, Arkansas, Virgina, Alabama, Germany, Michigan, & Texas. But Colorado has been my home since 1999.

I graduated from TCU in 1998, then enjoyed a quick tour through art school. I began my business photographing weddings & portraits in 2000.
