Kokoro Photography bio picture
  • Welcome to Kokoro Photography!

    Your dreams.  Your love.  Your family and friends.  Your special day.  We know you want your wedding to be picture-perfect — and telling the story of your wedding is far more than just pointing the camera, focusing the lens and pushing the shutter.  Capturing the “right” moments starts with our relationship with you —  knowing your hopes, your feelings, and maybe even a few of your fears means we will capture and tell your unique and beautiful story...  Your love story.


    Many people ask us what “Kokoro” means.  It is the Japanese word for “heart, spirit or soul”, and it’s a word inspired by Amanda’s experience teaching in the Japanese school system after graduating from college.  Both of us, Debi and Amanda, are passionate about the photography profession — and the word “Kokoro” clearly reflects our passion to reveal your heart, your spirit, your soul in each image we capture for you.  

    Kokoro:  Heart.  Spirit.  Soul.  We are committed to revealing it within you.

    We hope you'll visit us often and please.... leave lots of comments! We love to hear from you.

Jeanie’s Senior Photos

Last September we told you about our soon-to-be intern Jeanie who due to a fall, ended up with a serious closed-head injury. We worried that she may have long term brain damage, physical problems, or the multitude of other issues that come with this kind of injury. Jeanie’s journey has been a remarkable one – one that has amazed her doctors, nurses, friends and family. Jeanie is one determined young lady and has set her sights for her recovery high. Due to a lot of hard work and determination on her part, Jeanie will be released from Craig Rehabilitation Hospital on October 6th, she will be able to graduate with her class and slowly resume her life as a teenager.

Congratulations Jeanie – We are very proud of you!

On Sunday, I met Jeanie and her parents and sister for a brief Senior Photo Session at the park. We will do more a more extensive session later but for now she needed a photo for the Littleton High School yearbook – they have graciously held a space open for her photo. We are looking forward to having Jeanie interning for us in the future.

and to Jim and Jean…. you are remarkable parents. Watching from the outside how dedicated your family — Jeanie’s siblings were to supporting Jeanie throughout this long and difficult time is a testament to you as parents.

Becky Butz - I love these pictures. Look at the beauty, pride, and confidence in all three faces. This is a time when senior pictures truly signify extraordinary accomplishments. Congratulations to Jeanie, her parents, and the rest of her family.
