Ian's Senior Portraits

Ian is a family friend so we've known him a long time and  love that we got to photograph his senior portrait! Paul took him around Olde Towne Arvada - I think they turned out pretty cool! 

second shooter

I am a member of a photography group called Wedding Photographers of Colorado and one of the photographers needed a second shooter for a wedding this past weekend so I agreed to do it. Bill, It was great working with you! 

Nicole & Matt

We photographed this beautiful wedding on Sunday, September 28th at the Lakewood Country Club. Matt proposed to Nicole at the 17th hole on the golf course so that is where they had their wedding ceremony. It was just beautiful but a little weather blew in - you can see in one of the images the groomsmen holding down the tent. This is a lesson in attitude though because Nicole and Matt didn't seemed phased by it. After a few minutes the sun broke though and a rainbow appeared over them. We had a great time photographing their portraits and their reception was lovely. We photographed Matt's sisters wedding and also his cousin's wedding so we were very honored to be invited back a third time in one family!  Thanks Nicole & Matt - you were wonderful to work with!

running

Wow, it's been awhile since I posted!  We have been very busy with work and life has been a bit crazy. Paul has been wrapping up a big assignment, both of us have been working on our new websites (mine will probably launch this week!) and our 3 year old son had surgery ( he did great). 

I got a call late last week from one of my friends in my Mom's group wondering if I could take her place in a four person relay in the Denver Marathon since she is taking an unexpected trip to Greece.I said "yes" and am really looking forward to it. So now I am training and my family is being very supportive. This is just the kick in the pants I need to step away from the camera and computer and mothering a little bit every day and go do something I love. Race day is October 19th. Only 20 days to go from being a person who normally runs 1.25 mi to running 4 mi.. 

Jacob & Nathan

I had so much fun photographing Jacob & Nathan this afternoon! We did some portraits in the studio and then went to a lake that is a special place for their family. My friend Betsey told me tonight that she is passionate about relationships ( she is!)  and I think that I must be a bit, too, at least in my photogrpahy. My favorite images of siblings is usually of them looking at each other, laughing together, or some special captured moment.... true of my wedding and family portrait work also. The one of Jacob & Nathan with their arms around each other I just love, it's a classic brothers pose. I photograph men on their wedding day and they have a picture taken with their brother and this is what they do! Anyway, I had a lot of favorites from tonight's session and am posting a few here. Thanks, Jeannine & Dan for allowing me to photograph your boys again, they are wonderful!

Darcey & Brian

We photographed this wedding at  The Historic Crags Lodge in Estes Park on August 16th.  This was the weekend of the rain here in Colorado so Darcey and Brian moved the ceremony inside. It was the kind of day that makes you want to curl up with a hot cup of coffee .... or marry your best friend! The Crags Lodge has a nice cozy feel to it, there were fires in the fireplaces and the ceremony was lovely - the couple even wrote their own vows! An awesome Bluegrass band called Oakhurst was the highlight of the reception! It was really fun for us because we are friends with Brain and now Darcey, too. Thank you both for allowing us to be part of your wedding day! And speaking of friends ... can't post this without a "shout out" to Boogie & Mickie, our friends who introduced us to Brian. Sometimes I feel like we wouldn't have a wedding business without you! Let's see we did your wedding, Boogies brother's, Mickie's sister's, Boogie's best friend from growing up, now Brian's... one every year for the past 5 or 6 years I think. Thanks for always recommending us!

"Scoop"

We photographed Dave & Karen's wedding about four years ago - actually just Paul photographed it as I was on maternity leave with our son Luke - but today we got to meet their one year old son Ian. What a cutie patootie! I asked if he had a nickname and they said "Scoop", I love it!
