Niko and Mocha: Dog portraits in MarylandMay 30, 2008
How cute are these sweet little girls? Last night I visited my friends Kim and Tim in Maryland. They are expecting their first child this summer, so I was excited to be able to go to Kim’s surprise baby shower in DC yesterday. Afterward we went back to their house, and I took some pictures of Kim’s little baby belly. I’ll post those photos later, but first I wanted to show this adorable picture I took of their doggies. Cute!

Wedding of Emilie and Joey: Hillside Gardens, Colorado SpringsMay 19, 2008
Yesterday afternoon I got a phone call from my friend Holly Pacione, who was scheduled to photograph a wedding that day but was very sick. She asked if I could shoot the wedding with her, so that there would be an experienced photographer at the wedding in case she was unable to do it. I canceled my plans for the day and promptly started getting my equipment ready. Mike overhead the phone call, and he started charging my batteries before I even got off the phone! What a great guy. Emilie and Joey got married at Hillside Gardens, a nursery and event center in downtown Colorado Springs. I loved its view of the mountains! The weather couldn’t have been more perfect, at about 80 degrees with soft clouds and a breeze. Afterward, they danced in an open-air pavilion as the sun set over the mountains. Congratulations, Emilie and Joey, and thank you for making me feel welcome on such short notice! Holly, I hope you feel better soon!

Bathroom redecoratingMay 15, 2008
Mike and I spent the last two days redecorating one of our bathrooms. If we had known how much better it would look with only two days of work and less than $600, we would have done this a long time ago! (Compact fluorescent lightbulbs are great for the environment, but bad for pictures. They cast a yellowish/greenish glow to the room in these photos. The room is actually blue, white, and silver. I could fix it in Photoshop, but I won’t.

Behind the scenes at weddingsMay 13, 2008
Last fall I posted lots of photos of Mike and me behind the scenes at weddings. You can find them here: part 1 and part 2. As you can see, we have a lot of fun at all the amazing weddings we get to attend. Here are some more photos I’ve collected of us since then!

Wedding of Nicole and Matt: Hotel Jerome and Anderson Ranch, Aspen, ColoradoMay 8, 2008
Aspen was such a wonderful place for Nicole and Matt’s wedding! They got married Saturday in downtown Aspen, and then we had a great photo shoot with the entire wedding party in the streets. It helped that Matt is a police officer, and his police friend blocked the street for us! Then we headed to Snowmass for a reception at the events center where Nicole works, the Anderson Ranch Arts Center. They had a great DJ and friends who partied hard all the way through the night. I couldn’t stop laughing at their craziness! Nicole and Matt, what a perfect wedding day! I hope you’re having a great time in Mexico!

Nicole and Matt had a spectacular wedding weekend in Aspen! We met with them Friday evening for their rehearsal dinner at the historic Hotel Jerome downtown. The Jerome is such a cool hotel, with lots of lovely spots for pictures. We started with a portrait session of Nicole and Matt, and then we joined their friends and family for dinner. Tomorrow I hope to post their wedding photos. Stay tuned!

Bree and Riley: Engagement portraits at Castlewood Canyon State ParkMay 2, 2008
On Tuesday, I met with Bree and Riley at Castlewood Canyon for their engagement portraits. They are getting married this summer in Colorado Springs. I had so much fun watching the two of them interact! They are playful and silly with each other, and it’s fun to see them make each other laugh. We wandered around the canyon for a while that evening, and they were up for anything I suggested. Bree was even climbing rocks in her heels!

Through the years with RogerMay 1, 2008
Thank you so much to all of you who have sent comments and emails about Roger. Mike and I are both grateful for all the heartwarming support. It’s especially comforting to know that so many of us have gone through similar experiences, and I thank you for understanding how hard it is to lose a pet. I have such great friends out there! I love you all. Yesterday I collected some photos of Roger through the years. Actually I regret not taking more photos of my little guy. I have tons of pictures of the dog, but not nearly enough of the cats. I treasure the few photos that I have. Most of my pictures of him were taken on film, and maybe someday I’ll scan them to share. In the meanwhile, I hope you enjoy getting to know Roger through the photos that I already had digitized. He was sweet-natured, friendly, cuddly, and laid-back. If you had come over to our house, he’d probably try to sit in your lap as soon as you arrived. In his later years, he was gentle with me as I gave him his shots, eye drops, and daily baths. He was always happy to see me. Cats don’t get sweeter than Rog. Edited to add: Wow, thank you so much, everyone. I really appreciate all the support and compassion. It means a lot to me to know that you care. Much love to you all!

I’m happy to say that Holly made it through the wedding, but it was a tough day for her, and I’m glad I was able to help her out.
