U2 at Mile High
Last month my life with music came full circle. The first stadium show I ever saw was U2, back in ’87. So, it’s fitting that the first stadium show I photographed was also U2. The only bummer…I didn’t get to stay for the whole show but the first three songs rocked!
Arcade Fire @ First Bank Center
I’m playing catch up here on the blog, as usual. I had the pleasure of covering Arcade Fire’s set at the First Bank Center back in April for SoundSpike. Here are few pics: Check out a few more pics over at SoundSpike.
Colorado Fall Colors
Fall is definitely my favorite season in Colorado. The temperatures are perfect, the skies are always so blue and the mountains are speckled with bands of yellow aspens. LOVE!! In keeping with our Fall tradition, this past weekend Cec and I drove up to Cripple Creek and Victor, then took the scenic way back to [...]
Baby Brooklynn
Wow, my first family maternity shoot. Sooooo much fun! Which I attribute entirely to the fabulous Dr. Vin and his family. Oh I say Dr. Vin because he’s my chiropractor and he’s awesome. Anywhoo, Dr. Vin, his wife Jenna, their daughter Karly, and soon to be born daughter Brooklynn were super troupers. They picked Helen [...]
Kelly, Sam, and Grey
Had a fun family shoot with Kelly, Sam and their little man Grey. Kelly was inspired by some of my black and white live music photography so we decided to give that style a go with their shoot. I think the scull and crossbones onesie was an excellent outfit choice to accompany the style!
Adam Lambert at the Paramount Theater in Denver
I came out of the closet about being an Adam Lambert fan back when he was performing on American Idol. And yes, I admit that as well, I do watch Idol…it’s pop culture, how can I not. When I heard Adam’s Glam Nation Tour was making a stop in Denver I all but sold my [...]
Lolly and Brad
Lolly and Brad, such a fun and laid back couple! I couldn’t wait to post a few sneak peaks from our quick pre/post ceremony portrait shooting jaunt through the Botanic Gardens. The trouble was, I had such a hard time picking only a few…Lolly and Brad look so fabulous together that editing this shoot is [...]
The Golod Family
Had a blast photographing my good friend Andrea and her family up in Superior. I think my favorite part was screaming “poopy-pants” at the top of my lungs in order to get Jakey ‘Smiles’ Golod to crack one of his signature smiles. It work on Andrea and Dennis too. However, I’m not too sure the [...]
Time Out for Kennedy
Even in a time out Kennedy is just too adorable. I am so weak, couldn’t resist those eyes.
Marianne at 14 Months – Sneak Peak
I had the joy of photographing Miss. Marianne at Cheeseman Park last Sunday. This should have been Marianne’s 1-Year portrait. But due to insane schedules, crazy Colorado weather, and a trip to Tahiti the shoot was pushed a couple months. So, technically it’s Marianne at 14 months. This is a little sneak peak. I just [...]
Livin’ The Dream In Tahiti with My Mom and My iPhone
I recently got back from a 10 day vacation with my mom in French Polynesia. It had been a lifelong dream of hers to travel there ever since she saw the 1951 film, Bird of Paradise, as a teenager. Since my dad had no desire to spend 10 days in the humidity, I luckily pulled [...]
Passion Pit at the Odgen
What an AWESOME show to watch but it was definitely a challenge to shoot. Probably one of the most difficult shows I’ve photographed. You can see the full set of images at Reverb. OR, I’m trying something new on my website, a “Stories” section. It’s a work in progress but, you can also see them [...]
My Favorite Photo Subjects
Every once in a while I get asked, what is my favorite thing to photograph. Easy question to answer.. hands down my favorite “thing” to shoot is my family and friends (including the four legged ones). Nose around the blog a bit and you’ll find quite a few posts centered around my family and friends. [...]
Hot Air Balloons
Now that my new portfolios are done (YAY!), I’ve started working a bit more on archiving my catalog of images, which is a pretty daunting task. I already have a few live music sets, a small set of Colorado images, and a small set of Texas images cataloged. I just recently uploaded a batch of [...]
St. Vincent at the Bluebird
This post is a weeee bit late, but I had the pleasure of photographing St. Vincent’s set at the Bluebird last month. AMAZING!! Annie Clark had me in a trance for 90 minutes. It was heaven! Here are a few of my favorites: You can see the complete set, along with a review by Cassandra [...]
Snowshoeing In Breckenridge
Snowshoeing is my favorite winter activity. Well, other than laying on the couch with Cec, next to a warm fire, reading a book, while puffy white snowflakes are falling outside. Anyhoo, I digress. Over Martin Luther King weekend we rented a house up in Breckenridge with a group of friends. Breckenridge a favorite winter spot [...]
Jeremy Facknitz, The Charlie Milo Trio, Mark’s Midnight Carnival Show, Leftmore @ the Black Sheep
Last Thursday I had the opportunity to check out some local Colorado Springs music at the Black Sheep while shooting for the Denver Post Reverb. I’m far from a music critic, but if you live in the Springs you should definitely go check all these guys out, they put on a great show. If you [...]
Flyleaf @ The Fox
I wasn’t entirely sure what to expect going into the Fox Theatre. Flyleaf is a Christian rock band and I am an agnostic lesbian. My experience living in Colorado Springs for over 17 years is that those two wouldn’t seem to mix very well, so I felt a little uneasy walking through the doors of [...]
State Radio, Elephant Revival at the Black Sheep
Wednesday was another great night of live music at the Black Sheep in Colorado Springs. I was extremely happy to be shooting State Radio for the Denver Post Reverb Music Blog. First, because State Radio is awesome and I was so happy they decided to make Colorado Springs a stop on their current tour. If [...]
Marianne
I don’t have the opportunity shoot a lot of baby/family portraiture due to the fact that my travel schedule can sometimes be unpredictable. However, I was recently fortunate to schedule a few hours for a good friend. I think I may have to carve out more time for it, I quite enjoy photographing kids.
Summer of Snapshots – Instax
One of the things I decided to do this summer was to take some of the thinking out of my photography, just to give myself a little break and have a little fun. So I thought I give the Fuji Instax a try. I love the camera! And there just something magical about watching your [...]
Updates Since March – Music Highlights
Just a quick update on the goings on since my last post, which was forever ago. Most of my time has been spent editing, laying out, and printing out my forthcoming updated portfolio. I’ll have two new and improved books, one Travel and one Lifestyle. Also be on the lookout for a re-designed website and [...]
South by Southwest 2009, A Few Favorite Moments
This was my first South by Southwest experience. I was fortunate enough to shoot for my long time friends over at the Austin Convention and Visitor’s Bureau. Wow, what a fun and exhausting time. I’ll spare you what would undoubtedly be a very poorly written narrative and just stick with what I know, photos. So, [...]
I Heart Jesse Harris
Last week I had the pleasure of photographing the Joshua Radin set at the Black Sheep for Reverb. Opening for him, were Meiko and Jesse Harris. I am soooo glad I went early enough to catch Jesse Harris. His music is absolutely beautiful. And Bill Dobrow on percussion was fabulous. Oh and I loved his [...]
