JASPER + PINE

photography

Welcome. I am so happy you're here.

I am a Colorado based natural light enthusiast who loves Tree Top apple juice in my wine glass, chasing after our new doodle pup and advocating for my son who was born with Spina Bifida. This world we live in is passionate, bold and so powerfully charged with change. I am here to break the mold and introduce myself as Colorados leading all-inclusive family photographer. I now, in addition to my traditional sessions, include wheelchair accessible and private locations for my families that are searching for gorgeous mountain views that have accommodations for their loved ones. I can’t wait to walk and roll with you!

Why Jasper and Pine? 

Jasper is found right here in Colorado and represents nurturing.  It has properties that help sustain balance as well as bring support and positivity. 
 
The pine is everlasting. It stands firm under pressure and creates amber sap that carries nutrients to the tree where they are most needed. As mothers and fathers we provide all of these things to our family. And it’s that foundation that sparks passion in me. To unravel your story through my craft. To shine a light on the jasper and pine in you. 
 
Before I can reveal your story I would love for you to hear a glimpse of mine.

This was our first family photo since a special milestone. It was imperative to our family that we chose someone who made our kids feel comfortable. Amber Braun was the perfect choice to meet this need! Previously we had done indoor studio photos that were staged and awkward. However, our experience with Amber was phenomenally different. Amber selected the most beautiful outdoor location that emphasized her creativity and depicted the natural beauty of our family. She made it so fun for us and captured everyone’s personalities in an authentic way. More importantly, she made my son feel special for his momentous occasion that we will forever have a keepsake of. The photos highlighted the pure joy of that day and the love of our family. We’ll cherish them always!

My sister and I had photos of our families taken for our mom for her birthday and Amber did such an amazing job! She made us feel comfortable from the moment we met with her. It’s not easy to wrangle 4 adults and 5 kids, but she got amazing shots of all of us. She had so much patience with us, even after having to cancel due to weather. We are so happy with the way the pictures turned out and my mom cried when she saw them, especially the pictures of all her grandkids together. Thanks so much Amber!

Amber is such a pleasure to work with and really knows how to capture our family's personality! We have been lucky enough to have her as our photographer for two years in row. She has an incredible eye for photography and picks the perfect locations/settings for our family photos. She has been very patient working with a 9 month old and now a 19 month old along with our dog who wants to chase every critter in sight. We look forward to having Amber photograph our growing family year after year.

We have been using Amber for our family photography for 4 years now and each time we are blown away by our pictures. My children can be slow to warm up, but Amber has the special touch to help them feel comfortable and really capture their personalities. We treasure our yearly photos from Amber and always look forward to working with her!
