Senior ~ Donavon

I photographed the entire Nickel family last fall for a birthday celebration for their grandfather so I had an acquaintance with them before I received a frantic call from Donavon's mom just a couple days ago... seems they had forgotten all about getting Donavon's senior photos taken and could I help them by taking it and having the yearbook photo to them in 3 days! I was happy to oblige! Especially for such a wonderful family like the Nickel's! We did a short session to accommodate Donavon's hectic schedule, but hopefully he will approve of the results!

Preschool Portraits ~ APC Preschool

Update: We have extended the due date for order forms at the school to Thursday, October 7th due to not all of the parents receiving their forms this week and not all of the kids having class. Please have all forms turned into the school by that date. If you do miss the cut-off date you can still order online. Thank you.


It's that time of year again! Time to take Fall Portraits of my favorite preschoolers! We photograph APC preschool two times a year and it's always amazing to me to see how much the kids change just in a few months time span. The school keeps expanding, and this year they even added on a kindergarten program! So I had nearly twice as many kids to photograph this time around. I always try to change things up a bit, by bringing different backgrounds, different props, etc. This time it hadn't occurred to me how interested in those block the kids would be... almost every child had to pick them up as they came up for their portrait! LOL! Quite cute and lots of fun.... can't wait to see what Spring will bring!

Denver Diamond Dash

We were chosen to be the official photographers for the Denver Diamond Dash being held on Sunday, September 12th 2010... It was a blast and a very happy and wonderful couple won the ring! To see a photo slide-show of some of the images from the event go to the link below!

Senior ~ Ariel

And then Ariel is cousin's with Kayla... if the the whole family keeps coming to me for photos I will be in business for many years to come! LOL! Honestly though I couldn't have photographed two more nicer girls. We lucked out again with a wonderful day to do Ariel's photos... the flowers are all still in bloom and I was able to find water features everywhere! Her mom and sister were also a lot of fun and it didn't even seem like work! Those are the kind of shoots I love to be on! I hope she enjoyed it as much as I did! Best wishes to her future as well!

Architectural Photoshoot ~ Rolling Hills Country Clubs

This day marked the end to an intensive two-day photo-shoot project with Rolling Hills Country Club in Golden, CO. Their new clubhouse was just unveiled and they needed some great architectural shots of the exteriors and interiors of the building. We also decided to photograph the new menu items in their restaurant! It was a long two days to say the least! We started each morning before sunrise to get the perfect light on the building and spent 6-8 hours each day photographing all the key areas in the building. It still was a lot of fun for me since I don't do a lot of this type of photography... maybe I will start to do more of it! The photos above are just a small fraction of my favorites!

Trash the Dress ~ Julie & Carl

So Julie, Carl & I tracked up to Boulder Falls for their "Trash the Dress" session... we completely forgot that it was Labor Day weekend.... and the place was crowded. So we warmed up with some photos down by the creek first, ever carefully scaling a hillside in Julie's wedding dress! We almost didn't go over to the waterfall because there were so many people, but I decided we came all that way to not get photos there! And the weird thing was when we showed up everyone moved out of the way! It was crazy! I guess they all knew we were doing a professional shoot and they wanted to make sure it was awesome. At one point I turned around and we had a crowd of 15-20 onlookers and it was growing! I think Julie & Carl had a lot of fun too! After we did some falls photos we came down to the park just outside of Boulder... I said "Julie, how do you feel about getting completely wet!" She goes "Sure!" and the next thing I know her and Carl are submerged fully in the water. it was a little warmer down there, plus I knew the pools would be bigger with less current. Luckily it was a very hot weekend!

The very next day the first Boulder fire started and they shut all the roads up to the falls, so I feel fortunate to have taken these photos when we did. I haven't been up there since the fire and I have no idea if the fire hit that area or not. If it did this will also be a great photo for posterity as I'm sure it will take years for the area to recover!
