Hi there!

(Comments make me happy.) This is where you'll find my most recent work, whether it's from a commissioned shoot, trips I've taken or goofing off out back with my dog.

I'm having so much fun as a portrait and wedding photographer after spending 10 years in journalism as a reporter. I'm based in Colorado Springs, CO, and I'mĀ available worldwide. (Comments really do make me happy.)

delay in blog posts

Just wanted to let everyone know I’m not sure when I’ll be posting new photos to the blog for now because I was in a car crash Tuesday after someone turned left in front of me – I hit his Jeep Cherokee, then slammed into a curb. I’m pretty banged up – sprained thumb that’s still very swollen and blue, as well as neck, leg, chest and back pain. The heavy-duty pain killers and muscle relaxers I’m on keep me pretty sleepy, and I can’t imagine sitting at the computer for hours while editing photos – lying down is much more comfy right now.

My apologies to those of you waiting to see photos from your recent sessions. Thank you for your patience.

paul + beth | 6.20.09

This couple is so so so sweet. I enjoyed just watching them interact. It started raining just before we began photos, but they didn’t let it bother them. My kind of couple.

Beth and Paul were married Saturday at Rembrandt Yard in Boulder in front of a small group of friends and family.

Instead of a cake, they opted for cupcakes from Lovely Confections. I don’t remember the last time I’ve thought about a cupcake days after eating it, but I still remember how yummy these were (I only had one!).

I’m doing this wedding post a little differently by showing a snapshot of the whole day. Enjoy.

Congrats, Beth and Paul. (I can’t wait to see honeymoon photos from Banff.)

Beth and Paul chose to see each other before the ceremony for photos. Beth’s sister, Emily, walked her over to the spot where Paul and Beth did their first sighting. Look at Paul’s face while he’s waiting. Heart it.

Rain? No worries.

One of the ways Beth and Paul focused on details was by making personalized table number displays. Each one was different, and on the front was a scenery photo one of them had taken, and on the back was a photo of the two of them and a few lines explaining where the photo was taken and how they’d spent that day.

the hose sessions | kai

Wow, three posts in one day.

This is what I do while waiting for it to cool off enough to go mountain biking. I should explain the life vest. We came across it a while back and I grabbed it for my dog, Kai. This is the second time she’s had it on. It wasn’t long before she shook it off today.

Kai is a water nut, and we often play with the hose. It was hard to spray the hose with one hand and take photos with the other. I may need an assistant next time.
