Garden of the Gods, Colorado Springs and Coffee with Colleen and Adrian

 I truly do have the best job!  I am reminded over and over again by the amazing people I get to meet while photographing them.  For example Colleen and Adrian.  Colleen and Adrian live in Colorado Springs but will be getting married in Phoenix next year.  After several phone conversations with Colleen I could not wait to meet her in person.  After you talk with Colleen on the phone you are just happy.  She is so upbeat and so very kind.  When I did first meet Colleen and Adrian in Colorado Springs for their engagement shoot I was pleased to find that Colleen was just as kind and upbeat in person.  Adrian to was very kind but more quiet.:-)  They balance each other out perfectly.  We started shooting at Garden of the Gods.  Colleen shared an interesting fact with me about Garden of the Gods.  It has more visitors then Central Park.  Wow, that is a lot of people, but does make sense. Garden of the Gods is breathtaking.  I would call it Colorado Springs version of Arizona's Sedona.
After we were done at the Garden's we went over to one of Colleen and Adrian's favorite coffee shops.  Loyal Coffee (now I want coffee).  What a cute little coffee shop.  It is located downtown Colorado Springs if you want to check it out.  I enjoyed photographing them while they just relaxed a bit with some yummy coffee.  Then we walked around downtown Colorado Springs to finish up.  It was a great engagement shoot and I just loved getting to know Colleen and Adrian better.  Honestly I want to work on becoming friends with Colleen. You want her energy in your life.  I am so looking forward to photographing their wedding next year!

Is it 5 or 15 Minutes of Fame?

I want to say I am experiencing my 15 minutes of fame, since I had my 5 when I was 12. Stephanie help me out, what was the name of the talk show your mom took us to the tapping of in which I got to ask a question? This took place in 1979, we were in sixth grade. Teen Beat I think? I was selected to ask a question, in which now I can't remember if it was to Lief Garrett and I am thinking the host was Kristy McNichol, aggg... Anyway when the episode aired on TV I was to embarrassed to watch myself. Da I wish I would have!! On to my recent fame, I was asked to shoot the cover of the Arizona Bridal Source Guide this past spring for Kim Horn and it is out and about. This fame will last longer then 5 minutes since it will be available for the next 6 months. I am so very excited and am happy with how it turned out. It was a great and nerve racking experience! You can pick up a copy at several bridal shops around town and it will also be given out this weekend at the big bridal show at t...

Ahh Stella

Image
When you get an email from the sister of a past pride asking if you could take pictures of her 6 month old baby girl, you say sure! When she ask you if you can meet at her sister-in-laws house to take the picture because she has a "fun house" you reply yes. Then you show up and see this beautiful baby girl and this incredibly decorated shabby chic house, you burst with excitement inside.. That is just what happened. Elaine emailed me to see if I could take pictures of Stella and asked if we could meet at her sister-in-laws house. Well, you can see for yourself that Stella is beautiful and the house was a photographer's dream. Elaine had all her own idea's for Miss Stella. We had so much fun and Stella was a trooper to say the least. I loved how Stella would smile at her mommy over and over again. She is truly a happy baby. This shoot inspired me to convert some of my office into a studio. I called my friend Nancy after the shoot and was blabbing away on how much fun ...

 My first wedding of 2014 was with Nicole and Chad at Encanto Park Clubhouse.  This wedding was so sweet with fabulous details.  I mean really fabulous details, from the location, to the bridesmaids attire and reception details.  If you follow my blog regularly you know I usually do not post to many detail shots, I always photograph them, I just do not post them.  For this post I am posting more then average because they were just so fun.  Thank you so much Nicole and Chad for allowing me to capture your sweet wedding.  It was such a great way to start 2014.
