(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'm available
worldwide. (Comments really do make me happy.)
I had an impromptu photo session today with Quinn and Kai after a family shoot by the fab Carly Mitchell, as she’s known in these parts. Quinn is already in week 5, and we’re a little sad about how quickly he’s growing and changing. We’re holding onto this stage for as long as he’ll let us.
Quinn is 1 month old. And even though I’ve never functioned on so little sleep before, rocking him to sleep in the middle of the night – or morning or day – is like nothing I can adequately explain. Here’s to many more months and years of this.
At our bebe party – we refused to call it a shower or bath – I put out a blank journal and asked our friends to leave a note about what a baby means to them. Some of the excerpts:
The young lad this morning, flirting with himself in his new mirror:
Our bebe came a week early on July 26. It’s a boy (we waited until delivery to find out). Meet Quinn Campbell. We can’t get enough of him. He gets the hiccups every day, does yoga stretches after naps like he’s an old pro and makes scrunchy faces and smiley faces within seconds of each other. We can’t wait to see what becomes of him and what becomes of us from having him in our lives.
He’s 11 days old today, and this was his first photo session – I’m thinking he may have a few more.
Some days are good just because of the people in them. I received this email last week and have permission to share it with you:
Dear Anslee,
I’ve been a loyal follower to your incredible photography since September 5, 2004, when you photographed my daughter’s wedding (Kimberly and Mike). I never get tired of looking through the personal album Kimmy made for me following her wedding day. And I’ve never seen more beautiful pictures than you took on her special day and then of her son, Finn. You are so amazing, Anslee! I truly love seeing your beautiful and unique visions through your lenses. I’ve always dreamed of having you take pictures of my husband and I (married 31 years … and counting!!) together someday.
I will continue to follow your visions and hopefully someday have you see us through your eyes!!
Sincerely,
Maeve G.
Thank you so much!
Here are photos from the session with Kim, Mike and Finn, Maeve’s grandson.
Briar has had at least one horse since I’ve known her, and that’s been several years. She’s had two for the past two years, but she realized it was best to narrow it down to one as she prepares to head off to college in a year. Kea went back to the owner Briar got her from, so she knows Kea will get lots of love. Briar wanted photos of her and Kea before that happened, and we shot these the day before. Briar can visit anytime she wants.
