Get To Know Your Photographer

Hey there, I'm Claire! (they/she)


Thanks so much for stopping by, I'm honored that you're here!


Every image I create for Bug + Bear is artistically cultivated to capture emotion and tell a uniquely personal story. Preserving life's precious, fleeting, moments is my passion and my purpose. There's nothing I love more than capturing a memory that I know will be cherished and shared for generations to come.


I frequently find myself smiling at my computer screen while editing, laughing at silly moments shared between clients, or shedding a tear at the beautiful, raw emotion captured in a session.


I truly love what I do and am so honored to provide this service for you.


When I'm not documenting life's precious memories for clients, busy editing sessions, or investing in my craft with a hazelnut latte in hand - you'll find me in the mountains!


Whether headed out on a hike, a picnic, a camping trip, or just road-tripping our beautiful country with my kiddo in tow, you can catch me with a camera in hand, sunroof open, and Subaru well overdue for a wash.


I enthusiastically practice Leave No Trace principles, have a deep love for all our Public Lands, and try to spend all my free time soaking in the beauty of this incredible planet.


Please, never hesitate to say hello if you spot me taking in an RMNP sunrise, hanging around in my camping hammock, or holding my camera and pretending like I'm not struggling to catch my breath on a hike!
