Steve and Chelsey Engaged

A couple of weeks ago I had the pleasure of photographing Steve and Chelsey, as well as their beautiful new daughter Emmy. Our plan was to follow a path right near Dakota Ridge in Littleton (my high school, as well as Chelsey's - though she went through a few years after me). While on the cross-country team in high school, we had run the path several times, and I was always amazed by the scenery. Unfortunately, when we arrived, we found the gate padlocked and barbwired, and therefore went in search of a new location. We drove back into Ken Caryl valley, and passed so many gorgeous areas we finally just pulled over on the side of the road and started shooting. The fall colors were amazing! Thanks Steve and Chelsey for being such great sports! I can't wait for the wedding!

Look at those eyes!

Uh-oh, she's already modeling!

The world's best big brother

Ice Cream for Ella

I've been dying to do a shoot with my sister's children for a while, especially her daughter Ella. She's so vibrant and has such a little personality! Every time I see her with an ice cream, she always has it all over her face, and thus was my inspiration for the first part of our shoot! I turned some of my favorites into a fantastic piece of wall art. Take a look!

Chris and Jen Engagement

A couple of weeks ago Chris and Jen and I went to Estes Park for their engagement shoot. We visited the Stanley Hotel, the town, and Lake Estes. It was a bit chillier than we planned, and started to rain at one point, but we had a great time and got some fun shots!

Second Shooting with Artessa Photography

On September 6th I had the pleasure of second shooting a wedding for Krista Johns of Artessa Photography. The wedding was at the Ritz-Carlton in Denver, and was absolutely gorgeous (as were the bride and groom, Lindsey and Barry). Here are a few shots from the day.

A Sad Swim

We put Isaac in his pool today for a little swim. As you can see, he was really excited!

Congratulations Spencer and Mary!

Spencer and Mary were married on August 1st at the Secret Garden, a beautiful venue in Colorado Springs that I didn't even know existed. They lucked out - it was the only day that week that it didn't rain! The ceremony and reception were both outside, and I was truly taken aback by how beautiful everything was, as well as by Spencer and Mary's relationship. They are so very much in love, and have such amazing families! It was a joy to photograph them! Thanks Spencer and Mary for allowing me to share in your joyful day! Congratulations!
