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.
