Angela and Dillion

November 8, 2009 · Leave a Comment

A couple years ago, my friend Esther was going to the prom and she needed someone to take pictures. So I came over and we had probably too much fun taking photos of anything and everything. That is when I met these two! Angela and Dillion have been in love since high school and I was so excited for them when they got engaged. We went downtown to take some fun shots by the smoke brush art gallery. They were so natural to shoot. They have so much fun with each other and rarely did I have to pose them. They both are so happy with each other. Loved it! Have a peek at some of the favorites. Enjoi!

Jonathan and Rachel get married!

October 11, 2009 · Leave a Comment

So back a little while ago, I did an engagement shoot with Jonathan and Rachel. Imagine this! They got married. It was a beautiful day. . . not to hot a little bit-o-rain showers in the afternoon. They got married in this gorgeous orthodox christian church. The ceilings were painted like the church of the holy sepulcher and it smelled just like Israel . . one of my most favorite places on earth. The service was gorgeous. The whole thing was sung by the priest followed by a chorus. The sounds rang through the high ceilings and echoed like heaven. After the ceremony, we went to a beautiful trail and took some gorgeous pictures in the rain. The reception was a blast. Peter, her brother, DJed and he did an excellent job playing all the favs including the theme song of A Night at the Roxberry. I had so much fun! Congratulations Rachel and Jonathan! If you wanna see their engagement photos, go here. enjoi.

Kevin and Blakely

September 19, 2009 · Leave a Comment

Kevin and Blakely got married in probably the smallest church I have ever seen. It literally fit about ten people inside and was just so stinking cute. The two of them were fun to shoot too. They wanted to do all the fun things. Kevin, an art lover also, was so happy we got to do our own little rendition of “American Gothic” and I had fun shooting some film and Holga for them. Hopefully we will see some scanned prints come out of it. Here are some shots from their day! Enjoi!

So my longtime friend who lives in Arkansas but is soon moving back to Colorado has a little bun in the oven. Her and her husband are youth pastors in Arkansas and they were bringing their youth group out here for the desperation conference. I, of course, stole her for an hour or two and took pictures of her and her adorable belly. She is so beautiful and the life inside

Rachel and Jonathan

August 22, 2009 · 1 Comment

Rachel and Johnathan are one of the few couples that have been willing to wake up at the crack of dawn and go shoot with me and I think it paid off. I had so much fun with these two. They were so laid back and chill. We talked about everything in life. It felt like I was hanging with some longtime friends. I am so excited to shoot their wedding coming up in September. They are getting married in one of Colorado Springs’ Orthodox Christian churches so it is bound to be gorgeous. Enjoi!

Jennifer and Josiah

August 18, 2009 · 2 Comments

This was such a great wedding to shoot! I got there in the morning and all the girls were just lounging at the salon, laughing and having fun. Some more showed up with mimosas for everyone. I have never had more fun getting ready. The bridal party was so fun! From breaking into a trolley car to climbing large wooden structures to riding around on a merry go round….they were up for everything and they were so creative. It made me job easy. Jennifer was one of the most beautiful and unique brides I have seen. She was so relaxed and was so easy to photograph. I loved that she picked to have such exotic flowers everywhere. You could see her personality in every little detail. Josiah made me laugh as he couldn’t put his pin on tie and was so easy going. I dragged him all over the place to take pictures and he was more than willing to do it! The whole day was gorgeous. The location was remarkable, the people a balst and the atmosphere so romantic and beautiful! It was a pleasure and an honor to shoot this wedding. Thank so much Jennifer and Josiah. Congratulations!

Lauren and Jeriah

August 6, 2009 · Leave a Comment

Last December one of my best friends got engaged! It was so exciting to see her date her now fiance and watch them grow closer together and fall more in love. I was so pumped to take her photos. I had been thinking about them for at least a year. After having to cancel twice, we finally got a gorgeous day with only a little bit of rain. We took Jeriah’s dad’s old Plymouth down to Wood Ave and had some fun shooting them in the warm sunset. When it started sprinkling, we hoped in the car and cruised over to the bluff to take some mountain pictures. Lauren is from Illinois but has lived in Colorado for the past four years and she has fallen in love with the mountains. Her soon to be mother in-law took pictures of them in Denver so she wanted some shots with the good ole pikes peak. I think we got a few good ones. Enjoi!

Wendy Austyn

August 6, 2009 · 1 Comment

I am super excited about this project. I got to work with a wonderful girl named Wendy Austyn. She is a very talented singer/song writer who is just releasing her first studio album. She has a great jazzy style and a super smooth voice. If you like artists like Meiko, Missy Higgins, or even Sara Bariellis you would love her! Check her out on Myspace. Click here. I got the pleasure of doing the photography and the graphic design for her project. I had a blast shooting both film and digi and I had so much fun getting creative with her unique and eclectic style. Here is what her final cd will look like. Enjoi!

Broken and Beautiful

July 9, 2009 · Leave a Comment

It feels like I haven’t blogged for quite a while so I thought I would throw this one out for ya to look at. These are pictures I took at the live recording of Jeremy Burks new CD Broken and Beautiful which is still to be released. It was about an hour and a half long live show in the Generation Church sanctuary at Freedom Church. They recorded some great stuff and played like champs. Look for their new CD to come out soon. To check out some of their older stuff go to jeremyburk.com or you can check him out on myspace at www.myspace.com/jeremyburk. They got some good sounds coming out of them and I am honored to take their pics. I have a lot of shoots this month so keep checking back to see new posts. Enjoi and peace!

The Film from 2009

June 16, 2009 · 2 Comments

I just recently went through all my fine art prints for 2008 and 2009 and these are my favorites. A lot of these came from my series called “Prepositions” in which each picture represented a preposition. These are all film photos that I shot and then developed myself. Most of them I have printed too. If you like one, let me know. I sell my fine art prints and I would love to be an installation in your humble abode. :) Enjoi!
