Find your CHI!

I had a great time this weekend photographing a VERY high energy couple. It was the engagement shoot, and we decided to do a little bit in studio and then head to Boulder and Pearl Street. It was hilarious because in studio didn't work so well for these folks - they aren't the posing sort - and he kept telling her to "Find her CHI!!" which was cracking me up! (Sidenote - ok so I had to go and look up what Chi *officially* means and it means "the circulating life energy that in Chinese philosophy is thought to be inherent in all things"). When we got to Boulder things went great! It started to snow so we didn't have too much time trying to get the flatirons in the background, but we headed to NCAR and stood out in the middle of the road, and kept having to watch out for each other for cars coming. I have some hilarious shots of them running off to the side of the road, and of Jill pointing at me warning of oncoming traffic! Here are a few shots from that day. I can't WAIT to shoot the wedding at Dunafon Castle!! (A CASTLE??? IN COLORADO???? :)



We ended the shoot warming up with some coffee at the Paradise cafe on Pearl Street and I couldn't resist taking this cute shot.
While we were at NCAR, we had a visitor. You can BARELY make him out in the photo - he blends into his surroundings so well - so I added the blue arrow. We all thought it was pretty cool!!!

King or Prince?

I did a pregnancy session the other day with another very cute couple. They brought in a few items that are going to be in the baby's room, and we did ended up with some very cute shots that I think will be beautiful for decorating the baby's room with. The baby's middle name is going to be Kingston, so they even brought a little crown. It's so hard to choose an absolute favorite, but I love the one where his back is turned and you can see her belly in the background.
