BLOGHello! I'm a Colorado Springs wedding photographer and portrait photographer. I travel all over the country to document the important moments in people's lives. My blog showcases some of my favorite photos of my clients and adventures. I update this blog several times a week, so please visit frequently to see my latest images. Sample album: Cheyenne Mountain Resort weddingJanuary 31, 2007
Mike and I are working hard this week to redesign our website and make new sample albums. A few days ago I designed a sample mini-book, using photos from Gabrielle and Dylan’s wedding. This books will be 4″x5″, and therefore not much bigger than the files you see here. It will be tiny! I can’t wait to see it. I think little books like these are great to give to grandparents or bridesmaids. I want to make one of my own wedding, to keep in my purse!

Oh woe is meJanuary 28, 2007Such is my luck… I can ski every weekend, and never hurt myself, but then I go out in my front yard to check my mail, and end up face-planted on a sheet of ice. We had a few days of mild weather, and then yesterday all the melted snow froze and created a thick sheet of ice on the street in front of our house. I stepped on it, my foot slid behind me, and I crashed hard on my wrist, elbow, and knee. Today I’m in pain all over the right side of my body, including my back and neck, and I can barely put weight on my leg. Mike says I should tell people that I hurt myself in a while rescuing an orphan in a tragic snowboard incident, but the truth is that I was just collecting our junk mail. So now I’m in bed, with Advil and my laptop, missing out on a beautiful day outside. In honor of my inactivity, I thought I’d share some of my favorite blogs. My favorite blogs are those of photographers and friends, but here are some others that I recommend: Cute Overload: Adorable puppies and kittens and whatnot Design Sponge: Cool ideas for home and gifts Project Rungay: Hilarious commentary on Project Runway Gizmodo: Gadgets galore Vegan Lunchbox: Clever lunch ideas for veggie folks Say no to Crack: Random funny stuff

Another beautiful Breckenridge dayJanuary 20, 2007
Today was another beautiful Saturday, so we spent the afternoon back at Breckenridge. We’re trying to make the most of our wedding off-season, and we’re certainly enjoying our free weekends to the fullest. I think some people would consider the winter to be the worst part of the year to have time off, but in Colorado, it’s the perfect season. Actually, every season is the perfect season here, but Colorado’s winters are particularly famous. Here are a couple more videos and photos from today’s outing

Some of my favorites of Mike’s photographsJanuary 19, 2007
Mike is not only a great husband and companion, but he is also a brilliant photographer. Mike’s job as my second photographer is to stay out of the limelight, and capture genuine moments unobtrusively. I thought I’d put him in the limelight today, to give him the credit he deserves! He has a wonderful artistic eye and a great compassion for people and their experiences, so his photography is beautiful. Here are a few of my favorites of Mike’s photography over the last year

Benefit for the victims of the Colorado Springs fireJanuary 18, 2007Two days ago, a Colorado Springs apartment complex was destroyed by fire. The residents of these 135 apartments lost everything and were forced out into sub-freezing temperatures. The fire burned for over 24 hours. Two bodies have been found in the rubble, and 15-20 of the residents have not yet been located. Yesterday a man was arrested in this case, suspected of arson and homicide. Needless to say, this is a terrible tragedy for the residents of this complex, and for the entire Colorado Springs community. Here are two slideshows of photos of the fire: The Pikes Peak chapter of the American Red Cross is collecting cash donations to help the victims of this fire get back on their feet. ……………………………….. I am offering portrait sessions in exchange for donations to the Pikes Peak Red Cross. This Sunday, January 21st, I will schedule portrait sessions at the Garden of the Gods for interested clients, and I will donate 100% of your payment to the Red Cross. I’ll schedule photo shoots from 12:00-3:00pm, at these rates: $150: A 25-minute photo session All photo sessions come with an online gallery where you can order prints a la carte. Print costs will not contribute to this benefit. This is a great opportunity for portraits of families, engagements, pets, bands, and individuals. Pictures make great Valentine’s Day gifts. (In the event of inclement weather, we will reschedule for Sunday, January 28th.) ……………………………….. If you are located in the Washington, DC area, and would like to participate in this benefit, I can do your photo shoot when I visit the area in April. I have a limited number of clients that I will be able to photograph in April, so please let me know as soon as possible if you would like to be included. ………………………………..

Colorado snow is SO good this yearI’m back from a long blogging break! We spent three weeks in England, and then last week Mike celebrated his 31st birthday. Happy birthday, Mikey! Then our friends Kim and Tim came out to visit us for four days, and we took them skiing for the first time. Despite the occasional face-plant, they loved skiing. They picked it up so quickly! Right now I’m trying to catch up on lots of work, but I’ll try to post some skiing photos later today. Here’s an awesome cartoon of Tim, Kim, Mike, and Me from Tim Saguinsin’s wonderful Ricetoons How cool is that? And yes, I really did take lots of pictures of them falling, because I’m cruel like that. Definitely check out Tim’s blog; it’s one of my favorites.
