Highlands Ranch High School Senior Portraits | High School Senior Photography

Back in May I shot some really fun high school senior portraits out at the Railroad Museum in Golden, CO with PPC.  I am very pleased with how the images came out and had fun working with these seniors! Good luck class of 2011!

Colorado Springs Wedding Photographer | Jakki & Bryan's Cheyenne Mountain Resort Wedding

Jakki & Bryan were married May 21 at Cheyenne Mountain Resort in Colorado Springs. It was a beautiful day - just after a monsoon of storms. They picked a beautiful bright pink and lime green for their colors.  The bridesmaids wore black dresses and the pink, yellow and green flowers added a perfect pop of color.

SPRING or almost Summer!

I've been doing a lot of spring cleaning lately, which isn't much fun.  But last weekend we bought and planted some flowers and I just couldn't help myself when it came to buying these Iceland Poppies - yes I will probably kill them but look how gorgeous they are!!! Lots of fun changes coming down the pipe, even some yummy portrait specials to get the summer in full swing.  As of June 3rd I'm officially a full time photographer (not that I didn't put 40+ hrs in a week already) its just that I've quit my part time job and I'll have more ME time to shoot silly flowers and roam through the neighborhood.

As of today, I'm officially instigating that if any of my blog posts get 15 or more comments the featured client will get a super special gift.  So next time you are featured on here, share!

Where I've Been

You might have noticed that for the past couple weeks I've been away from the internet - no blog posts or facebook messages.  My husband and I went on vacation and not just any vacation - a trip to Europe for just about two and a half weeks.  It was beautiful, spectacular and fun.   Here's a sneak peek into places we visited.  I took about 2500 images in total and two dozen ipad videos.  In the end I was ready to come home to my bed with my pillows, a room with a shower, and and easy way to wash my clothes.  It was definitely an adventure and I hope you enjoy some of the photos - of course more to come in the coming months - we're in the middle of wedding season so it will definitely take a while longer to show them off.

Shower for Baby Felix

Today I attended my cousin-in-law's baby shower and it was so much fun.  Laura is so beautiful and I just couldn't resist taking a couple maternity photos. I can't wait to meet little miss Felix in June!

Spring Stonebrook Manor Wedding - Vivian & Tony

It's hard to imagine that it snowed 3 days before this beautiful wedding, or maybe its not - this is Colorado.  Vivian & Tony were married April 17, 2011 at the beautiful Stonebrook Manor in Thornton.  I absolutely love the flowers and decorations for this wedding - most of which were handmade.

Thank you so much Vivian & Tony for letting me celebrate your special day with you!

Littleton Colorado Engagement Photography | Downtown Littleton Photography | Ally & Justin's Engagement Session

Ally & Justin's Engagement Session - Downtown Littleton, CO Engagement Session

We were hoping for a beautiful Colorado day, but instead we had an overcast chilly day... seems like my luck with engagement sessions lately.  The light was amazing with the overcast sky keeping everything very soft.  Ally and Justin were up for anything I could dream of and we had a blast photographing in downtown Littleton.  I can't wait to photograph their wedding!

Lone Oak Winery Engagement Session with Dogs | Meghan & Jeff's Engagements Part 2

Meghan & Jeff's Engagement Session - Part 2 - Lone Oak Winery, Burleson, TX

Meghan & Jeff shared their favorite winery with me, Lone Oak Winery in Burleson, TX.  It was still really early in the season so there weren't very many grapes on the vines but the light was amazing and everything was very green.  They brought along their two doggies, Riley & Penny.  Don't forget to check out part one of there session here: Part 1 - Meghan & Jeff - Ice Skating. 

Denver Art Museum Engagement Session | Denver Engagement Session | Tiffany & Michael - Part 2

Tiffany & Michael's Engagement Session - Part 2 - Denver Art Museum

 I chose the area around the Denver Art Museum for the second half of Tiffany & Michael's engagement session.  I love this area because the architecture is interesting and there are a bunch of fun spaces to photograph in.  I was hoping for a beautiful sky and some amazing sun rays, but instead we had an overcast day - I was a little disappointed.  The overcast sky provided us with a nice soft glow and now I couldn't imagine it any other way.

Ice Skating Engagement Photos | Ice Skating Parks Mall - Arlington | Meghan & Jeff, Part 1

Meghan & Jeff's Ice Skating Engagement Session - Part 1

Meghan and Jeff wanted to incorporate their love of ice skating into their engagement session so we did the shoot at the ice skating rink in the Parks Mall of Arlington, TX.  It was a warm day outside and I didn't quite think to bring a coat to the ice skating rink - it was freezing.  I just love that Jeff went from cowboy boots to ice skates. 

They are very good ice skaters and both grew up ice skating, so we were able to do some spins. 

Across from the rink was this very neat wall with arrows, I just couldn't resist!
