From the moment I met Kate I knew I liked her. She’s sweet, smiley and super nice. We got along right away and she signed the contracts within the day for me to be her photographer for her Denver wedding and engagements. Kate decided to have her engagement photographs taken in her backyard in Brighton, Colorado. As a Denver wedding photographer I am always looking for new places to take [...]
My little guy, Jake, is four and half years old. He is my shadow. Following me around all day. Copying everything I do. Wanting to be just like me. Today I found him sitting on the floor staring at my camera. When I walked into the room he quickly put on his pouty lip look and said, “I just WISH I could have a picture of me and my batman [...]
I love Lucky Charms. As the commercial says, “They’re magically delicious!” Oh, man, are they. And addictive too! I can down a whole box in one sitting. Sure, it leaves me feeling sick on the couch in a blissful sugary marshmallow coma sure to land me with a mouthful of cavities but it is worth every bite of yummy-ness. So…..because I just ate some Lucky Charms and because St. Patrick’s [...]
More About Me: The Nerdlings. Basketball: The Tale of Brain vs. Brawn Some people are born with a sleek, athletic build and reflexes of a cat that allow them to be the cool athletes that all the girls swoon over. Others are born with brains. Let’s be honest for a moment: Our little boys were born with brains. While being at the top of their class academically will serve them well [...]
Africa. It’s like my second home. I miss it when I’m not there and I feel at home when I’m there. While I am a Denver wedding photographer most of the year, I also spend a great deal of my time photographing in the extremely rural villages of Uganda, Africa. Places where they have never seen someone like me. Where there is no electricity. No flushing toilets. No television. It’s [...]
For this week’s Ask The Camera Chick question I will be answering: “How do you decide what to photograph?” When I am on the job as a Denver wedding photographer I try to capture the events of the wedding as if I were going to put the images into a story book. I want the photographs to tell the story of the day without needing to add words. I want [...]
The first wedding that I ever photographed was the in rain. Not just a drizzle that came on and off….a full blown rain storm. However, I had my second shooter with me {Koni, who I adore and miss terribly!!! Why did you move to Texas? We were such a great team!} and with both of us working extra hard….and with the help of two of the groomsmen we were able [...]
While I am mainly a Denver wedding photographer, I also enjoy many other types of sessions on weekdays such as family portraits, newborn portraits, birth photography, child portraits and…..SENIOR PORTRAITS! Senior Portraits are one of my favorite things to photograph! I love the excitement {and YES, the attitude!} that teenagers bring to a photo session. I love that the cute little smiles that quietly show how excited they are to [...]
More About Me Monday: Baking. As a mother of three little boys {and being married to a guy!} I am constantly baking and cooking for the crew. {And it truly is a CREW!} Let’s face it: In a few years I’ll have FOUR guys all taller than me living here, eating me out of house and home! I’m very nervous for the food budget which I am sure will be [...]
Having the opportunity to work with fabulous colleagues is one of the many perks of my job as a Denver wedding photographer. Over the years I have become great friends with many other professional photographers. Together we have had a lot of fun working as teams photographing weddings. With that segue…… It’s with great excitement that I introduce my photography colleague John. I met John a year ago. Well, that’s [...]
For our very first Ask The Camera Chick question I decided to start with the most common question that I am asked: Can you really do ANYTHING in Photoshop? For me, as a Denver wedding photographer, Photoshop is a tool that I use to take good images and make them great images. After a photography session you’ll find me zipping back to my computer to download all the images from [...]
For those who are my friends on Facebook, you saw the hilarious video that I posted a few days ago. It was a spoof video about all the funny things that people say to photographers and it was 100% accurate! I watched it at least a dozen times and laughed so hard that tears were rolling down my cheeks. A few of my photography colleagues watched it and said they [...]
Often, when the term “destination wedding” is brought up images of Mexico, Fiji and other exotic locations come to mind. For me, I am mainly a Denver wedding photographer. However, when I take on a “destination wedding” they are usually within the United States. My most common locations are Iowa and Utah. Mainly because I have a lot of connections, friends and family in those states so I’m always very [...]
My adorable little niece, Katelyn, had her 8th birthday last week. Today our family traveled up to Fort Collins to celebrate her birthday and also to celebrate her baptism. Katelyn’s mom let her choose a dress and she has great taste for an eight year old little girl! It was a gorgeous long, white dress with the cutest little ruffle jacket over the top. Very fashion forward. I arrived about [...]
I get asked all the time why I chose to be a Denver wedding photographer. The answer is very easy: I simply LOVE what I do. I feel blessed to be able to have the opportunity to photograph what is possibly the most important day in my clients’ lives. I realize that every wedding is unique and I love hearing about all the fun details that make each wedding special. I always [...]
My snow angels. Since I’m a Denver photographer most of my photography clients are naturally in the Denver area I’m sure that you all experienced the same super snow day today that I did. My children’s school actually cancelled school for today….yesterday! I loved having the notice of the school closure but decided to keep this important information between myself and my husband. You see….kids are funny creatures. They wake [...]
