BEST OF 2011 WEDDINGS Colorado Wedding Photographer

this has been an incredible year. i found film. i found my voice. i found joy in shooting again. i still have so, so, so far to go to reach my goals. but at least i know i'm walking along the right path. tripping some, and even falling down sometimes---but moving in the right direction. i hope you enjoy this sampling of wedding images from the last year. there were so many that got left out, and it breaks my heart! but i have to edit myself somewhere right? if you're reading this blog, please know that i appreciate you, i care for you, i might even love you. one thing is for certain, i wouldn't be where i am with out you.

thanks for looking.

studio blast from the past

over thanksgiving break, i got to visit my old stomping grounds.  i am so happy that my old studio is now in the talented hands of justin hackworth. i would have died if it had gone to someone i hated or who's work i did not respect. i don't know what that says about me or my character, but there it is.

and look! he even painted the walls to give it a fresh new look and it really makes it his own.

i'm also pretty happy justin was nice enough to let me use it when i rolled back into town. otherwise i wouldn't have gotten to connect with this special family.

a few things worth noting: this mom is also a talented photographer and film shooter. this mom didn't want her picture taken. but she humored me. and i am so, so, so glad she did.  because she is honestly one of the most in tune and talented mothers i have ever met. and that deserves to be captured.

They don't let you stand on the benches at Denver Union Station

want another little tidbit of info? peeing your pants at the beginning of a family photo session doesn't have to ruin it. no, not me, silly, one of these little boys who will not be named, but who was not phased even a tiny little bit, just so you know. Getting to shoot in new to me places in my now home state of Colorado keeps me feeling alive. Getting to meet other local photographers like Andrea and her family keep me feeling at home, even when everything feels big and unknown.
