Recreating the past | Denver Fine Art Photographer

“Certain things catch your eye,
But pursue only those
that capture your heart.”

~Native American Proverb

I chose the above proverb because it really spoke to how I have been feeling about my photography recently. As much as I love my job (and I do!), there is a part of me that longs to explore outside of the boundaries of family photography. So recently as some of you know, I have jumped into this exploration. There is something so freeing about playing outside of the preverbal box.  When you play outside of the box there are no rules; just possibilities.  I can’t even explain what this has done for me personally but as a photographer it has only made me stronger and more confident in what I have to offer to my clients and that alone is invaluable.  I highly recommend to my fellow photographers that they try something new and different; leave your box.  In doing so you will find your voice.

A couple of weeks ago I had the pleasure of sharing the afternoon with some of my amazing peers playing with the Native American theme.  Here are just a few of my favorites from that afternoon.

A huge “THANK YOU” to Kathryn Haughn and the Denver Storyteller crew for their hard work in putting this together.

Rebekah Trigg of  Metamorphosis Makeup Designs for her fabulous artistry.

Missy Caldwell of Misfit Missy Designs for the incredible handmade costumes she designed.

Our stunning models:  Destin Grant, Cecilia Garcia, Chase Eastman and Chance Eastman.

Our beautiful/oh so patient horse Howie and his wonderful owner Jenny Mishler.

and last but not the least the owners of the amazing teepee which has been passed down in their family for decades.

    Wow! Just like it takes a village to raise a child- it certainly takes a village to create an incredible photo shoot like this!

    These images look right out of the pages of National Geographic. Such great photos and processing to give them such a native feel. Good job.

I Heart Faces - Photography Challenges, Tutorials and Tips

I have been so busy as of late that I haven’t seem to find the time to participate in my favorite photography challenges at “I Heart Faces”.   Well this week’s theme is “A touch of sun” and when I saw that I knew instantly which image I wanted to contribute to the challenge. The picture below is my favorite image of all time that I took of my beautiful boys.  My eldest is leaving the nest soon and this image will always remind me of the connection he and his brother will always have; an unbreakable bond.

Thanks for dropping by!

Oh and for those of you looking for a fun way to motivate yourself to get out and use your camera I highly suggest you check out www.iheartfaces.com.

Stunning Rocky Mountain Mommy | Denver Maternity Photographer

Posted on September 19, 2011

“A great joy is coming” ~ Author Unknown

There are no words to describe how ecstatic and honored I was when my friend and fellow photographer Katy Moses asked me to do her maternity images. Katy is one of this people who are just as beautiful on the inside as she is on the outside.  The minute you meet her you cannot help but fall in love with her because she is a wonderfully warm and caring person; she is honestly one of a kind.  The minute she reached out to me I immediately had a vision of how I wanted to capture my beautiful friend and thankfully Katy was putty in my hands allowing me to allow my creative juices take control (I love that!). 

Beautiful glowing “mommy to be” plus a gorgeous evening in the Colorado Rocky Mountains = MAGIC
