Lumalia’s debut memoir, Blooming Upside Down, is out now!

Colorado Couple Photography | Couple Photography

Winter + Mountains + Wedding Anniversary Celebrations = awesomeness. I am so thankful Jenni & Kipp asked me to photograph them yet again! This time they are celebrating their one year anniversary! I adore that they decided to celebrate with photos because well you change so much in just a year, and so does your love together.

We decided to head up to Lost Gulch Overlook in Boulder, which is absolutely stunning! But…it is extremely windy! I do just have to say Jenni has the best wind blow hair, ever. 🙂 We actually began at the bottom of the mountain and followed the sunset up the hill. I’m so thankful it was above 30 that day and the beautiful sun was out.

These two are just an absolute joy to photograph. Having photographed them almost every year for the past three year has helped us have a great bond of trust which equals beautiful moments. Plus, discovering this epic location made it all the more fun…including the crazy wind! I’m so thankful they just rolled with it all.

This next one is a bit different. I normally am mindful of funky hair photos but I just kinda love that it is crazy but gorgeous. I think its a good reflection on life…sometimes things just don’t work out how we think they should, but God always has a more beautiful plan than we could ever imagine.

We finished the anniversary photo session catching the last bit of light and them swing dancing away. I am seriously jealous that these two sing dance together, and they are pretty dang good at it too, especially for having no music and not having done it in 6 months. 😉

This next photo was my attempt at trying something a little more on the artistic end and I’m loving how the mountain sun reflections so beautifully on these two.

Thank you Jenni & Kipp for letting me continue to capture your love. It is the greatest honor.

P.S. Family and friends can sign up below to see all their photos once they are ready in the coming weeks! Don’t forget to select their names!

About the Author

Lumalia standing near a coastline with her hair blowing in the wind

Hi, I’m Lumalia

I’m an author, photographer, and the woman behind Celebrate Again. I wrote Blooming Upside Down, and I’m still writing my way through the things that make being human beautiful, ridiculous, and sometimes a little unbearable.

You’ll find poetry, photographs, pleasure, grief, and my ongoing fascination with what makes us feel something.

I send Letters from Lumalia by email. Sometimes there’s a photograph tucked in. You can write back. I love hearing where a story lands.

When I’m not writing you can find me as a couples photographer, photographer, author, certified somatic movement yoga teacher, and the main voice behind Celebrate Again.

I put my inner teenager in a pistachio shell. She had the nerve to say no to my big f* yes.

Finally, I was on my way to teach at a yoga festival I’d dreamed of for years. And she was like, “I don’t want to do this. Please don’t make me go.”

My reply: “Babe, this is what we wanted.… Isn’t it?”
