New Look

Wow, it has been awhile since I posted to the blog. Things have been so busy lately that I have not had a chance to keep it up.

The wedding season has started and I am having a blast sharing special days with special people! It is absolutely one of my favorite things in the world to do and definitely the reason I am here on this earth!

I am also excited to announce that my website is finally being revamped! The current look of my website dates back 2 years - I set up this look in early 2007. I am now working with a company to create a new logo design and a new website that will be more modern, user friendly, and MUCH cooler! I am SOOO excited!! Check back in a couple months for that!

Ah...summer is here....yay!! :)

Cathy's Junior Year Session

Wow it has been a really long time since I updated my blog! Things have been so crazy lately! But that is a good thing, right?? Here is one of my favorite sessions that I did recently with Cathy, whom some of you have met as she is my assistant! She graduates from high school next year so she is a junior right now. We had to capture her with her newly beautiful pink hair!! Poor Cathy, she was FREEZING when we did this session...but I hope she thinks it was worth it..she looks SPECTACULAR!!! :)

Baby Bultz

A friend of mine that I have known for about 7 years had her first baby boy last week and I had the opportunity to photograph little Brady with his extended family when he was 6 days old, but I had also photographed the baby shower a few weeks ago. Lisa is SUCH a beautiful person inside and out..I am so happy to know her and so thrilled for her and Josh and their new little one! Here are a few photos from that session as well as a couple of my favorites from the shower.

This first one had us cracking up because you know how funny dogs can be. Well, when I instructed everyone to look at little Brady, Micayla decided to turn and look, too! It cracked everyone up and I got this great shot!





And a few from the shower..

Baby Violet

I think we tried 3 times to photograph Baby Violet..and you know what they say...third times a charm! We ended up with some beautiful images. Here are a few of my favorites:

Baby Violet

I had the opportunity tonight to photograph baby Violet and her parents, as well as her grandparents who are visiting from California. She is a BEAUTIFUL 2.5 week old and she was very sweet during the entire session. We concentrated on her grandparents for this session, but Violet and her parents will be back next week for a session with just the three of them. Her parents and grandparents all have such great senses of humor, they were either laughing themselves or cracking me up the whole time!! Here are some of my favorite images from the session.

Baby Boy Nico

Tonight I had the change to photograph a tiny little baby boy who is just 16 days old. He was so little and beautiful, and he had so much hair! We didn't really get to finish the session because he was a bit fussy, so these folks will be back, but here are a few of my favorite images from that session.

Fall Fun

This weekend I had the opportunity to photograph a young couple with a beautiful 21 month old little boy who found me through an session I donated to raise money for Colorado Youth at Risk. The little guy was SO full of energy he barely sat down the whole time and definitely kept us on our toes trying to photograph him. It was a gorgeous day out and we photographed down at City Park. With the fall leaves, the images turned out just beautiful! Here are a few of my favorites.



This had me cracking up. I was calling his name to get him to look at me, and he decided he did not want to hear me anymore, so he plugged his ears!!

I loved the way these two looked at each other. You can just feel the love between them!

You know me and hands. I love how firm and entwined their hold on each other is.

Sean's Senior Session

On Sunday I photographed Sean who is a senior at Monarch. I spoke at length to his mom to find out a bit more about him, and what an interesting guy! Mom and sister Kasey came along for the session, and Kasey was great as my assistant for the session! :) Thanks, Kasey! We got some great images from the day, and here are some of my favorites.

Beautiful Twins

Last week we photographed Riley and Carson whom I have photographed since they were just little ones still inside their mom's belly! These two are too cute and it was so much fun. At one point I had to warn them if I kept laughing I wouldn't be able to get any steady shots!! Mom Stacey is so beautiful she makes it so easy to get great photos of her. I can't wait until the next session when these two are running around and we get to capture them giggling and running away from us! Here are a few of my favorites from the session.

Wedding Ceremony Transcends Language Barrier

I had the opportunity this weekend to photography Hanh and Phuc's wedding. There was a buddhist ceremony up outside of Morrison, and then the reception was held at the Seawell Ballroom at the Denver Center for Performing Arts. The whole day was beautiful, and Hanh changed three different times and managed to look amazing each time! Here are some of my favorite images from the day.




I believe the emotion and sacredness of a wedding ceremony transcends language barriers, and when Hanh started tearing up here during the ceremony, though I could not understand a word that was being said, the moment had me crying, too.


This is a famous calligrapher, who happened to fly in the night before from Vietnam, and who presented Hanh and Phuc with a gift of his work on their wedding day. (I wish I knew what it said!)



This image looks to me like it could have come straight out of a classic film. Phuc looks so handsome in his suit!


Congratulations, Hanh and Phuc, on your wedding! It was an honor to be part of your wedding day, and I wish you many, many years of love and happiness in the future!
