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. Kitchen remodeling day four thousand (ok, day 24)February 28, 2008
Back by popular demand… kitchen photos! I’ve slacked off on taking photos of the progress, because my initial enthusiasm is waning a bit after 3.5 weeks. But it’s coming along beautifully! This week they have laid the tile floor, installed the crown molding, and today they are cutting the granite tiles for the counter. It’s going to be so pretty!

Kitchen remodeling day 16: Cabinets, cabinets, cabinets!!February 19, 2008
Look! Cabinets! Not all of them are installed, though; some are just sitting there, waiting their turn. But at least I can finally visualize what this kitchen is going to look like! The color is a little off in this picture, though, because the wood looks a bit yellower here than it does in real life. Today the guys are working on plumbing, the phone line, and leveling the counters. For a while we had a flooding issue that they managed to resolve while I remained blissfully ignorant. It had something to do with a “bib” that wasn’t right. I sat on my comfy couch in the basement and tried not to worry as the guys ran around the house to stop the water. I’m not wet, so I guess all is good. Our appliances, flooring, and appliances have arrived. They aren’t installed yet, but I took pictures anyway. Who wants to see?

Sample portrait album
Here’s another sample album that I designed recently. Jen’s a good friend of mine, so it was fun to use photos of her adorable family for this sample. We did this photo shoot last October in Virginia Beach. It will be a 6″x6″ flushmount album with a leather cover.

Genius dogFebruary 18, 2008
Ally got this toy for Christmas, and has carried it around the house ever since. She loves to destroy toys immediately upon receipt, so we chose this one for its chewable, yet indestructible fabric. This is the longest she’s ever kept a fabric toy in one piece. Then last night she lay down, determined, and put a lot of work into this project. Now she has removed two of its dangly parts, and is halfway through a third. When I noticed her accomplishment, I swear she was smiling smugly. We’re proud of our little prodigy. My friend Tracey introduced me to Dogbook today, so of course I signed Ally up for it. Look her up on my Facebook if your dog wants to be friends with Ally.

Teddi and Keith’s baby shower
On Saturday, Mike and I went up to Thornton to celebrate with Teddi and Keith Maull as they expect their first baby. These guys are going to be such great parents. Teddi and Keith are fellow wedding photographers, and their business is Picture the Day. We met them through the Digital Wedding Forum, and liked them instantly. Their baby is due next month, and I can’t wait to meet the little angel!

Kitchen remodeling day 14: It’s not much, but at least it resembles a kitchen!February 17, 2008
Our dusty void is starting to look like a kitchen! The entire project was originally planned to be completed on Friday, after two work weeks. As I’ve learned from many hours of HGTV, these projects never finish on schedule, and ours is no exception. It’s at least a week delayed, if not more. But at least the contractors started to install cabinets Friday! They also finished the wiring and lights. This weekend Mike and I bought out Lowe’s and Home Depot with new appliances and other widgets. It’s starting to be fun!

Kitchen remodeling day 11: We have color!February 14, 2008
We went out for lunch today, and came home to a yellow kitchen! I was so excited! This week the guys have finished the drywall, laid down the base on the floor, and today they painted the walls and ceiling. Meanwhile, Mike and I ordered our tiles for the floor and granite for the counters.

Valentine
My sister-in-law, Molly, sent us this wonderful photo that she took of Kenna this morning. Kenna and Robby helped to make scones for Valentine’s Day. I love it. Happy Valentine’s Day to all of you!

Sample albumFebruary 11, 2008
I designed a sample album with the photos from my most recent wedding. Alexis and Whit had a gorgeous wedding at the Oxford Hotel in Denver, so I thought I would make a sample album to display at the hotel. I designed this album to show off the features of the hotel and its surrounding areas in LoDo. It will be a 9″x12″ Fine Art Book with a full-bleed photo cover.

Wedding album: Sara and CaryFebruary 10, 2008
Here’s an album design that I finished recently. Sara and Cary got married at Lost Creek Ranch in Silverthorne, Colorado a few months ago. They chose a 9″x12″ Fine Art Book with 40 pages. The Fine Art Book is a contemporary album that really suits Sara and Cary’s artistic style. She is a graphic designer, and the flower image on the back cover is her own design.

Kitchen remodeling day 5: Not much to look atFebruary 8, 2008
This is what our kitchen looks like right now. Lovely, huh? The guys have been working on it all week, but it looks like nothing has happened yet. They have made good progress, though, but everything has been boring for me so far. Basically they removed the tiles, repaired the wiring, reframed the doorway, fixed the plumbing, and repaired a damaged structural support in the corner of the room. Today they started the drywall and retextured the ceiling. I wish they could hurry up and install the cabinets and counters! I’m ready for some pretty things to look at! Note to self: Find patience, young grasshopper.

Kitchen remodeling day 1: Tore up from the floor upFebruary 4, 2008
Our kitchen got demolished today! Good riddance! We have a nice house with a tragic kitchen that I’ve always wanted to rip up. After three and a half years in this house, we can finally afford the kitchen we really want. Today is the first day of the two-week process of remodeling! We hired a team of contractors to do the whole project. Today they did the complete demolition. Later this week they’ll install our new custom cabinets. Next week they’ll add the tile, counters, and lighting. I am so completely excited.

Portrait album: Leigh and ToddFebruary 1, 2008
Here’s an album design that I finished today. You might remember Leigh and Todd’s beautiful portrait session at the Broadmoor a few weeks ago. They celebrated their first wedding anniversary in a snowy Colorado wonderland. How romantic! They ordered a 5″x7″ Fine Art Book album, using 20 photos that they selected. It is going to be beautiful, and I can’t wait to see the printed version.
