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. A day at Spinney Mountain ReservoirNovember 30, 2008
We woke up on Friday to a fresh layer of snow, so Mike and I decided to head into the mountains and enjoy the winter landscape. We headed to Spinney Mountain Reservoir in South Park. We’re dogsitting our friend’s border collie, so we packed up Ally and Idgi and took them along for a snowy romp by the lake.

Fun in the canyonNovember 27, 2008
On this Thanksgiving, I’m thankful for Mike, my parents, family, friends, pets, good health, economic comfort, Colorado’s beautiful scenery, work that I love, and dreams for the future. I hope you all have a very happy Thanksgiving. I took this photo while walking with my cousins in Red Rock Canyon last weekend. During their time here, we took several mini-hikes in the canyon with the dogs. The weather ranged from 30s with flurries to 70s with sunshine!

A trip to the zoo with my cousinsNovember 25, 2008
Last week my cousin Christine, her son James Wyatt, and I went to the zoo here in Colorado Springs. I love the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo, because the giraffes walk right up to you and you can feed them. Giraffes are quirky, loveable animals with long blue tongues, and I always laugh a lot when I visit them. I love this picture of Christine, because it reminds me a lot of this photo of my mother from two years ago. I’ve often thought that my cousin reminds me a lot of my mom/her aunt!

The Garden of the Gods with my cousinsNovember 24, 2008
My cousin Christine, her husband Ken, and their son James Wyatt came to visit us last week! I haven’t seen them in a year, so JW is now twice as old as he was the last time I saw him. What a big change! He’s talking up a storm these days, and he kept me laughing all week with his funny observations. It was great to see them all, and I hope they can come back soon! On Saturday we spent the day at the Garden of the Gods, where we took lots of great photos of each other. I’ll post more pictures of their visit in separate posts. Stay tuned for our adventures at the zoo, in the canyon, and at Chuck E Cheese.

Tamera and Pat: Portraits in Colorado SpringsNovember 23, 2008
I can’t believe we never did this before! Today my friend Tamera Goldsmith and I decided to take photos of each other with our lovely guys. She took pictures of me with Mike and our dog, and I photographed her with her boyfriend Pat. Tamera is a wedding and portrait photographer here in the Springs and she’s a good friend of mine. We get together for pub quizzes, coffees, and photographer parties, but for some reason we’ve never gone shooting together. So today was fun! Mike and I started the afternoon at Red Rock Canyon, where Tamera photographed us doing one of our favorite things — hiking with our dog. Then Tamera and I met up with her boyfriend Pat to explore some areas near their home. We went to a run down motel with the goofy name “Dun Rovin’”, and then to a car dealership that was selling a fabulous Airstream trailer. It was all hilarious and a lot of fun. Thanks so much, Tamera! You and Pat are fantastic.

R&RNovember 20, 2008Hi there! I just wanted to pop in to say that I’m taking this week and next week off. It feels good to relax after a busy wedding season. My cousin Christine is visiting from Kansas, and I’m having a blast with her, her two-year-old son, and their St. Bernard. We took the kiddo and the doggies hiking today, and tonight we’re off to Chuck E Cheese. It’s great to take time off and spend time with family, dogs, and the outdoors — just the way I like it. Edited to add: Wow, I had such a great time with my cousins! I took hundreds of photos of our week together, so I’ll need a couple days to sort through them before I can post them here. Thanks so much for coming out, Christine, Ken, JW, and Daisy!

Mandy’s viewNovember 10, 2008
I took this photo of my parents’ cat during my visit to Virginia last month. I’m so glad I was able to travel to the east coast during its peak autumn color!

Linda, Adam, Dorothy, and Eli: Family portraits in downtown DenverNovember 7, 2008
Last year I photographed this incredibly fun family to commemorate Dorothy’s first birthday. This year she has a new baby brother! I had such a good time with them last year that I was really excited when they asked me to come back and photograph their growing family. You can see last year’s portrait session here. Dorothy has grown so much, and it was adorable to see her with her little brother.

EqualityNovember 6, 2008
While our country witnessed racial barriers fall this week, another group of Americans have had their rights taken away from them. I want to state here that I support love and equal rights. If you or someone you know is planning a same sex wedding or commitment ceremony, I’d love to have an opportunity to document it, with the same respect and dignity that I received on my own wedding day.

My Halloween weekend
My Halloween weekend had all the good stuff: cute kids, obscene amounts of candy, fun with friends and family, zombies, and horrible people chasing us though a forest with chainsaws.

Eve: Baby portraits in VirginiaNovember 3, 2008
My good friend Heather has a new baby! Heather and I have been close friends since high school — this year marks our 20th year of friendship, yikes! She and her husband Scott are thrilled that their first child has arrived, and it was wonderful for me to meet her on my trip to Virginia. She is gorgeous! You might remember the maternity photos I took of Heather and Scott in June. Now their baby is three months old! I spent Halloween with Heather and Eve and their neighbors. Eve was a goldfish for Halloween. Flat out adorable.
