Hello! 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.

Blue Mesa Reservoir
Gunnison, Colorado
June 29, 2009
I’ve been working every day for the last several weeks, so yesterday I decided that I would take the day off and drive into the mountains. I had no idea where I was headed, but that was part of the fun. Unfortunately my favorite road trip buddy couldn’t join me, because Mike was out of town, but my dog Ally made for a great companion. We headed west on Hwy 50, and five hours later ended up in Gunnison, Colorado. By this time I was tired of driving and not looking forward to driving home in the dark. I decided to stay for the night, which turned my random road trip into a spontaneous mini-vacation. It was just what I needed.

Jacynda and Karen
Downtown Denver
June 27, 2009
Yesterday evening I met Karen and Jacynda in the riverfront area of Denver for their engagement session. After weeks of rainy photo shoots, I was thrilled with yesterday’s gorgeous sunny weather. It was the perfect day to walk around downtown with this fun couple. I really admire Karen and Jacynda for their work with abused and neglected teenagers. I used to work in an adolescent group home, so I know how challenging and meaningful their careers can be. I had a blast with them yesterday, and I’m really looking forward to their commitment ceremony later this summer!

I’m excited about my new blog! I have a Wordpress blog that is integrated with my website and imports my Livejournal posts and comments. If you are a Livejournal user, you can keep reading my blog on LJ, because the content is the same in both of my blogs. Everyone else should switch their bookmarks to the new blog:

Brian and Leslie
Denver Center for the Performing Arts
June 25, 2009
This has been a season of rain here in Colorado! Leslie and Brian had hoped to walk around downtown Denver for their engagement session yesterday, but a heavy rainfall sent us for cover at the Denver performing arts center. It turned out to be a great location for urban-style outdoor portraits, complete with a roof over our heads. Leslie and Brian are getting married next month in Denver, and after yesterday’s fun photo shoot, I know it’s going to be a great wedding.

Katie and Dave
Hudson Gardens
Littleton, Colorado
June 20, 2009
On Saturday I photographed the wedding of a fellow wedding photographer! Katie runs Kathleen Rose Photography, so it was a huge honor for her to choose me to be their photographer. You might remember Katie and Dave’s engagement portraits from last fall. They have always been a lot of fun to photograph, with a playful sense of humor and lots of enthusiasm. I learned on Saturday that their families are just as much fun as they are.

Robby and Mae
University of San Francisco
June 14, 2009
Mike and I traveled to San Francisco last weekend for the wedding of Mae and Robby. We love San Francisco ordinarily, but over the weekend the city was even more delightful than usual, with perfect spring weather. Mae and Robby got married at St. Ignatius Church, a gorgeous Catholic Church at the University of San Francisco. Their reception took place at the Cliff House, a restaurant that sits right on a cliff overlooking the Pacific. The entire wedding day couldn’t have been more beautiful.
Congratulations, Mae and Robby! I hope you are having a grand adventure in Italy!

Last week I had some requests for a Wedding Ideas post about men’s attire. I thought it was a great suggestion, so I’ve assembled photos of suits, boutonnieres, cufflinks, hats, and other unique touches for grooms and groomsmen. Enjoy!

A rainbow of Colorado wildflowers
Red Rock Canyon Open Space, Colorado Springs
June 7, 2009
Over the weekend I took a walk through the canyon, on a scavenger hunt to find as many colors as I could. All of these photos were taken within a two-hour walk in the hills. I love June.

Ally
Near Red Rock Canyon Open Space and Section 16
Colorado Springs
June 7, 2009
Yesterday Ally and I went hiking through Red Rock Canyon. We reached the top of the canyon just as the sun dipped behind the clouds, casting a warm evening glow over two happy hikers.
On a separate note, I’ve been nominated as Colorado Springs’ best photographer. If you’d like to vote for me, I’d greatly appreciate it! You can vote here: http://tinyurl.com/nb64gw

Sunset over Pikes Peak and Prospect Lake
Colorado Springs
May 2009
Colorado Springs is such a beautiful place to live. I took this photo as I got in my car after an engagement session at Memorial Park. I suppose you could say that this was the view from my office that day. I hope I’ll never take it for granted.

Brad and Mike
Nichols Reservoir, Colorado
May 30, 2009
Mike and I spent Saturday with friends at lakes near Woodland Park. We had a picnic at Rampart Reservoir, and then we hiked down to Nichols Reservoir. Mike and Brad did some fishing while the rest of us lounged by the lake and played with the dogs. I love living here in Colorado!
