Red Beds

I had a blast this weekend photographing a very high energy, very fun group of six 14-15 year olds calling themselves the "Red Beds". They are a group of 6 different personalities that are going to different high schools next year, so they decided they wanted to do a session before that happened. They had me cracking up as I was looking through the images trying to determine which ones to post for the blog preview because most of the images are completely goofy! I think these are some of my favorites.

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.

"Wish I had my Camera!!" moment number 1millionfiftysix..

I happened to be downtown this afternoon trying to turn from I-25 onto Alameda, and traffic was backed up forever. When I FINALLY turned the corner, I couldn't BELIEVE what I saw! The SWAT team in all their black gear was out with guns drawn and pointed at this building. I was in traffic so I couldn't pull over. And I thought to myself...yet another "wish i had my camera" moment!!! It's always those times when I figure "Oh, I am just running out for a quick something-or-other..I don't need to take my camera"...and whaddyaknow.

Another one for the lesson books. :)

Now I need to search the net and see what was going on!!

Who said you can't meet your true love on a plane?

What an interesting story these two have. They met on a plane when they sat next to each other for a flight!! How cool is that?? She flew in for a quick weekend and they managed to fit in this engagement session. This was a blast as it took us through Larimer Square, down by the Platte River, and then over by that big bridge near Coors Field before the wind REALLY kicked up and the snow was threatening. It got cold FAST, but not before we got in some GREAT photos. I had a hard time choosing my favorites with this session...there were so many!

What a cutie

This was the second session we did with this little guy. What a sweetie. His big, beautiful eyes are just amazing!!


OK this one just cracks me up. He looks.....befuddled. :)

Drama

I love they way that you can look at someone through a camera lens, and see so many different parts of their personality. This was a very fun session and we got really dramatic with some of these photos.

Shot a Super cute couple the other day. I love shooting couples in love!!



This one I just had to take. I noticed when they walked in how perfect their shoes looked, so while we took a quick break and they were relaxing looking at my portfolio, I setup their shoes and grabbed this shot. I think shoes say alot about one's personality, don't you??

Twins!

Back from the holidays and straight back to work! Had a great time this weekend shooting 2 week old twins! A boy and a girl, they were so sweet. This first shot had me cracking up, and I was afraid I was laughing too hard, the moment would be gone, and I wouldn't have captured it because of camera shake...but I am happy to say I did get it!.

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.
