Greenwood Village Family Portraits | Silo Park Family Photography | Sharon Arnoldi Photography

I came across this cute little park while out to eat with my husband and thought it would be a perfect spot for family portraits. It has a barn like structure on the property that acts like a gazebo with picnic tables underneath.  The grass is well watered and very green with wonderful landscaping.  There is also a park which is a fun way to reward little kiddos for their participation in family portraits! Because of the crazy Colorado weather we had to reschedule this shoot from its original spring date so the trees weren't as in bloom as they were in April.

Shine 2011 @ Flatirons Community Church in Lafayette, CO

This was definitely the most rewarding photoshoot I've ever done.  I volunteered as one of many candid photographers at Shine this past weekend.  It was an amazing event and I'm blessed to have been a part of it this year.  The event was filled with so much love, joy and happiness; it was contagious and I smiled so much that my cheeks hurt the next day.  We did a live edit at the event so that all our images could be shown to guests on the big screens around the church, it was definitely a huge production and couldn't have been done without the amazing photographers volunteering to edit our images.

The guests walked in on a red carpet with paparazzi's & a cheering squad! There were games, sno-cones, cotton candy & popcorn.

Here are some photos from the event and the 2011 video recap.

Sneak Peek! Ally + Justin, Lone Tree Golf Club, June 18, 2011

A beautiful, summer, outdoor, Colorado wedding! I love the color choice of pink and black it just pops against the green grass.  This is such a beautiful venue for a wedding, inside there is a large dance floor and plenty of room for guests to dine and mingle.

Downtown Denver Real Estate Business Portrait

Last week I photographed Matt Sadler and Andrea Hatcher, real estate agents for Keller Williams who service the Denver area.  We met near Millennium Bridge in Downtown Denver for an outdoor session.  Matt is an Aggie, class of '95, so we had to do a Gig'Em photo!

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!
