Jonathan and Melissa Engaged!

Yesterday Jonathan and Melissa and I went on an engagement adventure!  As fellow CSU Rams, we thought a shoot in Ft. Collins would be fun, with a stop off at a cornfield on the way.  Jonathan saw a picture of a child in overalls in a cornfield and convinced Melissa to re-enact it.  We found a great field and got some great shots, although our feet got just a teensy bit muddy.  And by teensy bit I mean we were wearing giant mud shoes!
We had to stop at a gas station and buy water to get clean!  Then we completed the trek to Ft. Fun, and visited the Oval, City Park, and some open space with giant fluffy plants and beautiful light.  After that we finished the day off with some super fun traffic on the way home!  Hee Hee!  It was a truly fun and memorable shoot!  Thanks Jonathan and Melissa for being such great sports!  I can't wait for the wedding in July!

Little Miss Tutu

When my sister-in-law told me she bought a tutu for the Christmas pictures of my niece, I was so excited!  I love tutus!  As it turns out, so does Addison!  She loves to dress up, and was happy to pose in exchange for goldfish crackers.  We had a great time and got some great shots.  I can't get over her rosey little cheeks!  Have you ever seen a prettier little girl?

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!

The Seeleys

A few more from the shoot with my nieces and nephew...

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.
