Denver Photographer Roberta Hayes-Holmes (Berta) started taking pictures later in life when she realized there was so much joy in capturing life through a lens. She began photographing professionally in 2001 creating her Silent Expressions series I and II. These series view the Deaf world through photography, combining black and white photographs with American Sign Language.

In the years that followed she found herself acquiring “word of mouth” work in product and Denver special event photography. She was the official photographer for the Chaine de le Rotisserie from 2002-2005 and has been the special event photographer for the Bridgeway Home for Pregnant Teens since 2003. In 2007 she became an affiliated photographer for the “Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep” organization.

Roberta’s pride in her community lends the passion and desire to provide the service of Denver photography to her “family” in an accepting, welcoming environment. Whether it’s engagement photos, commitment ceremonies, or family portraits – you will be treated with the utmost respect and courtesy from a Denver photographer who truly understands you.

Roberta’s motto is Do What Brings You JOY. By day she is the Chief Operations Officer for Acumen Enterprises. By night, you can usually find her in front of the computer working on one of her many photography projects.

Roberta and her partner, Tina, live in a little Wheat Ridge bungalow with their feline son Batman and canine daughter Honey.
