Sarah and Nathan
Keystone Ranch, Colorado
August 22, 2009
Mike and I spent the weekend in Keystone for Sarah and Nathan’s gorgeous mountain wedding. They got married at Keystone Ranch, a mountain lodge and luxury golf course. As you can see, the Ranch has incredible scenery, with a lake, rolling hills, and mountain views. Sarah and Nathan included Nathan’s two children in every step of the day, and they even had Sarah’s border collie at the wedding. I don’t even need to say that I loved this wedding — an event with children, dogs, a beautiful setting, and a laid-back couple in love is my kind of perfect day.

The Broadmoor
Colorado Springs
August 20, 2009
Amy and Phil are spending the weekend at the Broadmoor with their two sons, daughter-in-law, and grandson. A vacation in a beautiful setting is a great time for family portraits! Yesterday we walked around the lake and enjoyed the beautiful Colorado summer weather. Thanks for including me in your vacation plans, guys!

Amber and Koi
Bear Creek Park
Colorado Springs
August 19, 2009
Yesterday I met up with Amber at Bear Creek Park for her senior pictures. Amber is a bright, ambitious student with a passion for gardening. This park’s field of wildflowers was a perfect choice for her senior portraits. I was thrilled when Amber showed up with her puppy — how could I not love photographing a beautiful girl and a puppy in such a gorgeous setting?
Thanks very much Amber, for asking me to document this time in your life. Good luck with the rest of your senior year!

This was such a sweet moment during Stephanie and Brandon’s wedding. I was preparing for the group portraits when little Deborah walked up and gave me a wildflower that she had picked. You can see Stephanie laughing from the cuteness of the whole situation. I wore the flower in my hair as I photographed the groups. Thanks, Brad, for catching this great flower girl moment!

Don, Liz, Dorothy, Adam, Eli, and Linda
Sloan’s Lake Park
Denver, Colorado
August 16, 2009
I love it when families invite me back each year! I’ve had the great joy of watching Dorothy grow up over the last two years, since her first birthday. Her brother Eli turned one over the weekend, so I was thrilled when Adam and Linda asked me to photograph that milestone. Eli was just a tiny baby when I last saw him, so it was wonderful to see the sweet little boy he has become.
You can see my earlier portraits of this completely cool family here: 2007, 2008
This time Adam’s sister Liz and her husband Don were in town and joined us for the portraits. They are adorable with their niece and nephew!

Matt and Melanie
Garden of the Gods
Colorado Springs
August 15, 2009
Melanie and Matt had a winter wedding at Shove Chapel three years ago. Looking back on their wedding day, they wished that they’d had a chance to take more portraits of the two of them. Finally they decided to get dressed up in their wedding attire and have the photo shoot they’d been wishing for. They asked me to take some photos of them in front of Shove Chapel, and then we headed to the Garden of the Gods for some great Colorado landscapes.
It was wonderful to have so much time with a bride and groom! I highly recommend post-wedding portrait sessions to any couple who would like a great variety of beautiful photos together. A wedding day is usually structured under a tight schedule, so this kind of portrait session is relaxed and freeing.

Brandon and Stephanie
Lower Lake Ranch
Pine, Colorado
August 8, 2009
Stephanie and Brandon are a laid-back couple from Alaska who love the outdoors and a good party. Their wedding delivered both perfectly. They got married at Lower Lake Ranch, which is a mountain lodge with a lake and great views of the mountains. Brandon is a wedding videographer, so the photography was really important to him. It’s uncommon to have a groom who loves being photographed as much as he did, so I had such a good time with these guys. My good friend Brad Walters photographed this wedding with me, and he went far above and beyond to help with everything I needed. Thanks, Brad!
Congratulations, Brandon and Stephanie! Thanks for asking me to do this for you. I know how important it is to you!

Yesterday I went to one of my favorite spots in town for Mariah’s senior portrait session. This lovely high school senior is passionate about helping children, and aspires to a career in neonatal medicine. Mariah, it was a total blast to photograph you, and I wish you lots of success in your senior year!

Karen and Jacynda
Mile High Station
Denver, Colorado
August 2, 2009
On Sunday I photographed the beautiful commitment ceremony of Karen and Jacynda at Mile High Station. You might remember them from their engagement portraits earlier this summer. I loved how the details suited their contemporary style so beautifully, with a color scheme of black and silver. Karen and Jacynda wore gowns in shades of silver, and the overall look of the day was chic and modern.
I’d like to send a big thank you to Tamera Goldsmith and Lindsey Zahalka for all their help that day. It’s always fantastic to work with them!
Congratulations to the lovely Karen and Jacynda!

Today is my ten-year anniversary of going vegetarian. I made that change on August 1, 1999, after volunteering with chimpanzees that speak sign language. After speaking with a non-human animal in a shared language, and getting a glimpse into their thoughts and feelings, I started to see all animals differently. Eventually I came to the conclusion that I wanted to go vegetarian. I feel great about this lifestyle, and its impact on my health, my conscience, and the environment.
Today I celebrated my anniversary with a trip to the Old Colorado City farmers market, where I picked up all these goodies. I don’t know what to eat first! (Edited to add: I decided to make grilled veggie wraps for lunch. I marinated red peppers, carrots, and Mexican squash in some balsamic vinegar, and then grilled them on the Foreman. I wrapped them in whole wheat tortillas with spinach, cabbage, and goat cheese. Nice!)
