We do what we can

If photographs of loved ones will help keep the men & women over in Iraq happy, then I am more than happy to help whenever I can. Heather came to me wanting some photos to surprise her boyfriend who is currently stationed over there, and we had a great time taking these. She is such a sweet girl...this was a really fun session.

Imaging USA!! YAY!!!

We are so excited because we will be attending Imaging USA this year. It is the Professional Photographers conference held in Tampa, FL. We have never been to Florida, so that in itself is exciting! The young girl I mentored through the Colorado Youth at Risk program is now a sophmore at University of Tampa, but she will be here with family while I am there so I am bummed! But, we are so excited about 6 days of education and fun with our peers!! Lots of interesting learning with some of the best and brightest in the photography world.

We will be closed from December 24th through January 10th. I will be checking voicemail and email during this time, but we will not have any sessions scheduled during this time.

Hopefully no babies will arrive early or late during this time! I love the "Baby's first day" sessions in the hospital and hope not to miss one!! ;)

Stay Happy, folks! :)

Busy Holiday Season

It has been a busy few weeks for us with the holidays coming up. I have not been posting much, but am working hard to get all your orders to you on time! :)

A funny thing happened at a session last week. We were photographing a woman and her dogs at a local park and in trying to get THE perfect shot, I wasn't watching my step and even though I was told over and over not to backup into the water...what did I do?...I backed up into the water. The rest of the session was completed with my foot FREEZING from the cold water, but needless to say, I did get the shot I wanted. I figured at that point...I was wet...I might as well stay and get the photo I wanted. I was just glad I didn't drop the camera!

So with Thanksgiving behind us, I just wanted to say a big THANK YOU to all of my clients, and my wonderful family and friends who have helped make this dream of mine to be a photographer come true. It is a WONDERFUL thing being able to wake up and do what I love everyday!

Stay Happy, folks!
Happy.

Where has summer gone?

Wow, it has been awhile since my last post! We have been really busy all summer and one of our big projects was finally completed this past weekend. Wow, what a relief! We are exhausted and exhilerated!! We put up a permanent advertisement at Flatirons Crossing Mall in Broomfield. It is located just outside of Nordstrom next to Mimi Maternity. Check out our work if you get a chance!

Besides spending 4 of the summer weeks out of state, we had a number of photo sessions as well as a couple of Community Events, too. We had a tent up at HarvestFest a couple of weeks ago and were busier than ever! It is such a blast to do so many quick sessions. What was so great was there we kept seeing these children come through with this WONDERFUL facepainting, so when we had a short break I looked around and found the tent - Fantastic Facepainting. She is a wonderful artist and we were able to take some GREAT photos of her work. If you need some facepainting, she is definitely the one to go to!

One of the things that stands out from this past summer is an engagement session we did at Lakeside which was a blast. Meg and Chris were great to work with and it was so wonderful to see the love shared between them. What an honor to capture such moments between two people. That night I went to sleep with a smile on my face with the recognition that this is one of the reasons why we are doing what we are doing. :)

Speaking of reasons why we are doing what we are doing, we did a session weeks ago of a family of 14. There were 3 generations there. As I edited the photos, I was especially happy at how well the photos of the grandparents had turned out - how sweet the interaction we had captured. If you don't know, I have a real soft spot for the older generation. Anyway, I had posted the photos shortly after the session and not heard back, then received a call this Sunday from the family, asking for a rush on some of the photos because the Grandfather had passed away. I was saddened and humbled at both understanding the loss, and being able to capture those moments. It was a reaffirmation as to why photography is so important to me and why I love doing this for other people. Knowing what the photos of my own father mean to me now that he has passed on, and that we were able to provide some photos for another family, that is why we do what we do.

New Look

We are SO excited to announce our new look. We are sure you already saw it, otherwise you wouldn't be reading this! :)

Due to the diversity of our clientele, we wanted an image that smoothly transitions across the various subject matter. The new site has a more streamlined look, is more modern, and we are so excited to be sharing it with you!

Just a reminder that we will be closed next week, and all new orders will be processed after June 25th.

People's Fair 2007

We participated this weekend as official photographers for the People's Fair through our involvement with the Denver Darkroom. (http://www.denverdarkroom.com)

It was a great event with lots of people, lots to eat, and lots of events going on. Steve did take some time out to play some hackeysack, though the day itself was full of various opportunities to take photos.

ThorntonFest 2007

Thanks to everyone who visited us at Thorntonfest 2007. We had a great time with the mini-photo shoots and got some wonderful quick shots. Everything moved so fast, but we did over 100 mini-sessions.

We were in the Animall section of the festival and photographed not only people and pups, but a ferrett and 2 HUGE iguanas! I had to pick up one of the big iguanas so it wouldn't wander off - that was definitely a first for me!

Thanks to Steve's dad for taking the photos of us in action!

At this point anyone that asked us to email or mail their photos should have received them. If not, please send us an email or call us!
