So I am a complete slacker when it comes to my blog. It's not that I don't want to post, it's that when things get crazy, the blog goes down to the VERY bottom of my very large to do list. Now I'm sure many of you can appreciate the fact that I'm working on your wedding photos instead of spending my time talking about them, but I also understand the desire to keep up with new material, see previews of current weddings and see that, yes, I am still alive out here.
SO many things have happened in the past couple months (hence, the no blog posts!) That I'm going to have a pretty much IMPOSSIBLE task of catching up. What I'm attempting to do is prepare a TON of images for the blog and spend some time writing several posts. Every day I can just go in and publish something that is already prepared and ready to go and then maybe... just MAYBE, I'll be better at this blog thing. Only time will tell I guess. HA!
The biggest news I have yet to release is
our move to Evergreen!!! (Now never mind the fact that we have been back in Glenwood every single weekend since we left on Labor Day.) But this weekend will mark the first weekend we will get to spend here- don't worry, we'll be back to GW on the 17th!- and we are planning on enjoying it to the fullest! We have friends coming in from out of state, I'm helping out a fellow photographer with a wedding in
Denver, and hopefully I will get to catch up on some editing that will not have to be done on the laptop in the car as we drive back and forth. It's the little things, right? :)
Very soon I will be sharing images of our new space we've been working on here in Evergreen and our hope is also to have stories of a new house (but we're not there just yet on that one) Darrell is still looking for a job in the area, even though the studio has been keeping us both very busy. There's definitely enough work to be done here for about 6 of us. I can't wait to get it all completed and show it off. Stay tuned for details of an open house and party that I hope to see everyone I've ever known at. ;)
Last but not least, I'd like to say Thank You to everyone for all your patience. We didn't exactly plan on moving out of our home and studio in a week like we did. (yup, that's right... we got an offer contingent on us moving out in a
week. It was complete madness) So needless to say, this got crazy without much warning. But don't worry, the boxes are remaining packed until we get caught up on our work, and nothing is more important to us than our job.
Ok... off to fun posts with pictures! :)
So this session has turned out to be one of my favorites so far this year. Sara was amazing! Last year I went out to her home and out on their property to take seniors photos for one of Sara's friends, Karen. We had a great time, but it was winter. Going back to the house to shoot Sara this year was a completely different expierence. Without a couple feet of snow on the ground, it hardly even resembled the same place in some regards.
Sara was so great. Not only is she seriously model material, but she was up for anything! Which is frankly a photographers dream client. When I asked about the culvert, she was almost excited as I was about it! (ok, that's probably a lie, I was REALLY excited) But it was deinfitely chilly out and she was more than willing to brave the freezing cold creek water and chilly morning air to climb down in the culvert with me. And this ended up being one my favorite places I've ever shot. (minus the millions of spiders, but we tried to ignore that part- I've blocked it from my memory, or at least tried, to prevent many nightmares- haha!) I think I'm going to have to find a culvert in Evergreen now! Dang it.
Congrats Sara! You're almost officially done with High School! Thanks for being such an amazing trooper and check out my main website. I've already added one of your shots to my senior gallery! I just couldn't help it! :)
I thought this ring shot was pretty appropriate, considering the location that day.
See what I'm talking about? The backside of Mt. Sopris can be seen there on the left. This is the gem of the Crystal River Valley at 12,954 ft. (see what kind of random knowledge I carry around because I was a tour guide?!)
This little guy managed to snag a cupcake right off the table without any of us seeing him! By the time we realized it, he was face deep in his treat.
Mark is such a sweet guy. Don't worry, Mark. I left out he image of you crying... ;)
Marks parents are equally as adorable as Mark & Nicole. Still celebrating after many years of marriage, these two were like kids on the dance floor. I can only hope that D and I will be like that in 40 years.
This is one of the many reasons why I love Nicole. We took over the trampoline and eventually got Mark to join her!
A huge congrats to the two of you. Here's to many many happy years together as you continue on your adventures. Every time I see paragliders, I wonder if it's the two of you. And I definitely look a little harder at all the motorcycles as they zip by. I hope to see you again soon, and until then... keep each other smiling. ;) It was an honor to be a part of your special day.
