Lynne, Adam, and Micah: Family portraits in Reston, VirginiaOctober 31, 2007
Many of you here at Livejournal know the lovely Lynne, aka chite, and her husband Adam. Look how gorgeous their son is! I photographed Micah last year, when he was a tiny newborn, and now he’s already learning to walk. It’s so fun to see him grow up!

Sophrona, Wade, Gracie, and Kayley: Family portraits in Ashburn, Virginia
I love family portrait season! I photographed this family during my trip to Virginia earlier this month, and I had a lot of fun rolling around in the grass with the girls. Gracie is a friend of Maddy (see my previous post), and she and her sister are so cute. Can you tell that I love little girls?

Sasha, Russ, Sophie, and Maddy: Family portraits in Ashburn, Virginia
When I was in Virginia this month, I got to photograph Sophie and Maddy again! I’ve been taking their family portraits for three years, and it has been so much fun to get to know these girls and watch them grow up. Sophie is a sensitive, creative girl who likes to write stories. Her younger sister, Maddy, is a spunky competitive cheerleader. When it was time for me to leave after the photo shoot, Maddy hopped on my back and told her parents, “Bye, Mom and Dad! I’m going to Colorado!”

Mike’s surgeryOctober 26, 2007
Mike had surgery on his feet today. He had some of his bone shaved off, realigned, and connected with screws. The surgery went well, but the poor guy has to be off his feet for several weeks. That’s going to be tough for this guy who loves snowboarding, playing soccer, and walking the dog. Right now he’s stretched out on the sofa, relaxed from all the painkillers. He’s been cheerful all day, and right now he says that he’s just feeling numb and tired. My poor babe! Mike is so funny; he asked me to photograph his x-ray for the blog! I asked him what he wanted me to write about his operation. His response: “Tell everybody that my foot was damaged when I ran into a burning building to save five little babies.”

Birthday :)October 25, 2007Woohoo! I’m 33 today! Mike is back from a month in England, and we’re going to relax today. It’s a gorgeous day, so maybe we’ll take a long walk outside. I don’t have a clue what he has planned for tonight, but as long as I get to spend it with Mike, I’ll be happy! Edited to add:

Fun with iPhoneOctober 24, 2007
It’s the phone so easy that even a four-year-old can use it. I’ve had lots of fun with my new iPhone! This little thing is addictive. The interface is slick, intuitive, and pretty. The camera isn’t great, but it’s good enough for me to document fun little moments in daily life. I haven’t been taking many personal photos lately, but this new phone has brought back my love of snapshots. Here are some of the pictures I’ve taken with it!

Behind the scenes at weddings, part 1
One of the many great things about being a photographer with your spouse is that you end up with lots of pictures of each other at work. Now that our summer wedding season is over, I thought it would be fun to look back on all the fun times Mike and I had on our photo shoots!

Amanda and Eric: Engagement portraits in Red Rock CanyonOctober 10, 2007
Meet Amanda and Eric! They are getting married one year from tomorrow. Happy negative one year anniversary, guys! Mike and I clicked with Amanda and Eric right away, and we are really looking forward to getting to know them over the coming year. Amanda and Eric have one of the coolest volunteer jobs I know: they train puppies to be guide dogs for the blind. They train and socialize dogs for the first year of their lives, before sending them off to a school for them to learn how to assist the blind. Only a small percentage of the dogs in this program are selected to be placed with a blind companion. Right now Amanda and Eric are training a yellow lab named Anthony, and they have adopted Nasa, one of their former puppies who was not selected for the program. Mike and I are so fascinated with the work that Amanda and Eric do that we are considering getting involved, too. You can learn more here: www.guidedogs.com.

The story where the silly city girl gets lost in the woodsOctober 5, 2007
The day started innocently enough. Look how happy I was to be standing in the sunshine, taking an afternoon off for a long walk through Red Rock Canyon Open Space. A couple days ago, I took Ally and my friend’s dog, Idgi, for a hike through the canyon. I took a longer path than I normally do, and I expected the walk would take about two hours. But the weather was perfect and my spirits were so high that I just kept walking. More photos (from my old pocket camera) and the rest of the story

Grace and Johan: Air Force Academy weddingOctober 3, 2007
Do you remember this fun couple? We decided to recreate their engagement portrait! Johan cracks me up! Grace and Johan got married at the Air Force Academy chapel last month on a perfect, late-summer day. I love shooting at the AFA chapel; its dramatic architecture and colors are a photographer’s dream. In fact, everything about this day was picture-perfect, from Grace’s designer gown to their families’ traditional Korean costumes. It was a gorgeous wedding. My talented friend Tamera Goldsmith second-shot this wedding with me. Mike has been off his feet for a few weeks, due to a soccer injury. I hope he feels better soon! Tamera, thanks so much!

Erin and Cole: Engagement portraits in downtown DenverOctober 1, 2007
I met with Erin and Cole this weekend in downtown Denver for a fun engagement session. Erin grew up in Denver, and she and Cole recently moved back there after living in California for several years. We chose an urban feel to their engagement portraits, which was really fun! I can’t wait until their wedding in November.

I had a wonderful day with Mike yesterday. The weather was beautiful, so we spent a couple hours outside on a long walk with the dog. Then he surprised me with lots of great gifts and a night out to see Evita at the Pikes Peak Center. What a perfect day.
