Denver Family Photography – The Tabb Family

I have been SO honored to continue photographing so many couples that have started with me from their engagements through all their new babies! The Tabb family has probably had me around the longest. I just LOVE them!!!! We got to photograph them with their second new addition, Teagan (and of course Aidan), last weekend at my house. It was cool playing around with the light in my house. Here are some of my favorites… Tabb.

Denver Family Photography – The Adducci Family

I had the pleasure of photographing the Adducci family in the Highlands as well.  I love all the old houses in these neighborhoods.  The character is just awesome.  We had so much fun playing with light in the rooms of their house.  Here are some of my favorite shots… Adducci.  Thanks so much for having me over!!!

Denver Family Photography – The Hart Family

I’ve recently become a member of Highland Mommies and it’s been a GREAT resource for finding out info on neighborhood schools, current events and all the happenings around town.  I was able to post info about my business there too and got bookings immediately!  Thank you Highland Mommies!!!!  Anyway, the first session from this group was the Hart Family.  Here are some of my favorite shots… Hart They have the coolest old house and we had a blast playing!

My Trip to Cabo-I was IN a wedding!!!!

I had a great trip to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico last month for my sister-in-law, Jen’s,  wedding!  We had a close call, with a possible category 5 huricane, but all we got was a little rain.

It was so fun to see the other side of weddings for a change.  I had fun shooting for pleasure too!  Not that my job isn’t the BEST!!!!!  Here are some fun shots I took of my family, etc.  while we were gone… Cabo

High School Pep Ralley Photography / South High School

So, one of my dreams is to teach photography to kids and adults because I LOVE the whole creative process!  The past couple of years, I have visited South High School’s yearbook staff to discuss shooting photojournalism photographs for their annual book.  This year we took it a bit further and I actually joined them for their homecoming pep ralley to show them how I work.  It was SO AWESOME!!!!!!!  I wish this was a place more photographers were hired for!  It was amazing to see how the kids slowly got up more courage to get into their subjects faces, and move around to get the best shots.  My job is truly rewarding.  Anyway, because I was there, I of course took photos myself.  Here are some of mine… South

Denver Wedding Photography / Second-shooting with Steve Glass!

I have to say that I LOVE second shooting!!!!  It gives me a chance to really let myself get creative and try new things.  I am so honored to have a great circle of talented friends that think of me when they want a second-shooter!  Steve Glass and I have shot together more times than I can count (he probably looks familiar as my second-shooter from lots of my weddings).  We have an awesome chemistry as friends and love feeding off each other when it comes to trying new creative lighting and shooting techniques.  When I second-shot with Steve a couple of months ago we had SO MUCH FUN focussung on all the kids running around (I also had some fun shooting Steve).  Here are some of my shots… Joe and Sandra

Troncones, Mexico Event Photography / The Present Moment Yoga

It’s hard to express the magic that happens at The Present Moment Retreat in Troncones, Mexico.  Not to sound cheesy, but I literally cried when I had to leave.  The present Moment has the most perfect set-up to achieve relaxation, peace, and harmony.  From the quaint, stylish bungalows set around the glistening pool, to the yoga stage at the oceans shore and AMAZING food and employees,  I will forever hold this place in my heart.

I know that was a bit of a tangent, but I have been holding these thoughts in my head for a while and really wanted to share them now.

Anyway, back to photos!!!!  The day after Tom and Angelica’s wedding, The Present Moment had a 9am yoga class featuring the musicians from the night before (and all of the other elements that make this place special-doggies, Abril-the adorable daughter of the GM Jessica, incredible yoga instruction, humor, heat, waves, ocean, beach, and mountains).  Here are some of my shots I took during the class… Yoga

Thank you SO much to The Present Moment!  I plan on being back again really soon!!!!!
