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. Roller Derby Four Corner Feud, part 2: Denver vs. Pikes PeakFebruary 24, 2009
The final bout of the tournament on Sunday night featured Denver’s Roller Dolls against Colorado Springs’ Pikes Peak Derby Dames. It was exciting that the first- and second-place teams were both local! Denver won the final bout, making them the tournament champions. Technical info: I took these photos with a Canon 5D and a 135mm f2 lens. For most of the photos, I set it at 1600 ISO, 1/640, f2, AI Servo.

Roller Derby Four Corner Feud, part 1: Duke City vs. Rocky Mountain
Over the weekend, Colorado Springs hosted a roller derby tournament between teams from the western US. The Pikes Peak Derby Dames asked me to photograph the final two games of the tournament on Sunday night. It was a fun experience for me, and I found my adrenaline pumping as I sat courtside, watching them sail past me. I don’t know much about roller derby, so someone please correct me if I get the information wrong here. I believe that the first bout of the evening was between Duke City Derby from New Mexico, and the Rocky Mountain Roller Girls from Denver.

Mardi Gras dogsFebruary 23, 2009
I went to the Mardi Gras parade here in Manitou on Saturday with my friends Brad and Sarah. Immediately I was drawn to all the adorable dogs dressed up in beads. It took me a while to noticed that most of them shared an expression of one who is plotting something sinister.

AllyFebruary 22, 2009
I’ve been meaning to take a picture of Ally in this spot. Every afternoon the sun comes over the mountain into our yard, and our big evergreen tree casts a shadow on our fence. When Ally stands in the sunlight in front of the shaded fence, her fur shines so beautifully.

Sample album: Coffee Table BookFebruary 5, 2009
I just received my latest sample album, and I love it. It’s a new style of coffee table book that I saw at the photography trade show in Arizona last month. I was looking for a more economical option for parent albums and gifts. I really like it! I’m not a fan of traditional coffee table books, because the pinched, magazine-style binding of the pages won’t open flat and end up concealing parts of the photos. This new product has hinged pages that do open flat, and I’m really impressed with the overall quality of the book. If you’re interested in learning more about these coffee table books, please drop me an email. I made this album as a sample, using photos from Meghan and Ryan’s gorgeous Christmastime wedding at Donovan Pavilion in Vail.
