Emily and Neil’s Engagement Portraits at Twilight | Downtown Denver

When I finished Emily and Neil’s engagement portraits, she wrote back with: “I can’t get used to seeing us in photos like these… more intimate photos.” It’s a common reaction from our clients. Most people are used to very bland, straight on, looking at the camera portraits. When they see themselves in a portrait where: [...]

Sharyn and Matt’s Engagement Portraits at Red Rocks, Denver

How often can you say you really “cavort”? Do you even know what “cavorting” is? Well, Matt and Sharyn obviously do. When I go into engagement sessions, the absolute holy grail of photo subjects is a couple that not only really, really loves each other, but are almost giddy with energy and enthusiasm. I don’t [...]

Introducing our New Studio Manager!

This is a convoluted story line so try and stay with me here: Once upon a time there was a bride named Julia. She was in love with a guy named Matt. Matt proposed and Julia filled her days and nights scouring the internet and wedding magazines for the perfect wedding photographer. Eventually she settled [...]

Mallory and Emeck’s Freezing Fort Collins Engagement Session

On a brisk but sunny December morning, I met Mallory and Emek for a lovely little Fort Collins adventure. It was cold enough that as I waked them into a secluded little alley in the shadows, I thought quietly to myself, “Will their lips stick to each other if they kiss…?” I’m sure they were [...]

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and a Happy New Year!

Well, it’s done. We shot our last wedding of 2008 at the Cliff House yesterday. I’ve worked way too long the past few weeks trying to pump out weddings for understandably anxious brides (everybody wants to show off the wedding pics for the holidays), and designing albums before the holiday deadline, and revamping the website [...]

Gallery Spotlight: Audra and Jason’s Wedding at the Woodmen Valley Stone Chapel and Tre luna

Please click the photo or follow the link to view Audra and Jason’s gallery of their Woodmen Valley Stone Chapel and Tre Luna wedding. This wedding was a wedding of firsts for 2008. It was the first wedding with truly Fall/Winter weather with dreary cold rain. Did I mention it was cold? Also, it was [...]

There’s always time for tea!

Most hardworking men, the end of a tough day, week, or month, find their bit of solace in a beer, the boob tube, their buddies, or an outdoors adventure. Me? I’m not like most guys. Last night I found my bit of solace in a cup of strawberry tea and pink cookies, which I ate [...]

Engagement Spotlight: Katie and Aaron’s Session at City Park, Denver

True high school sweethearts! It’s so amazing when I meet real couples who are high school sweethearts. But Katie and Aaron’s love even made it through going to different colleges in different states. How impossible is that?! But they did it, and judging from their photographs, their love is a real as love gets. It’s [...]

AWACs: Why “Amateurs With A Camera” are Great for Photography

I was recently surprised to see an ill-advised article in Rangefinder which presented ideas for “professional” photographers who might be attempting to combat the “evils” of the AWACs (Amateurs With A Camera)(you can download the article here: rf1008_amateurs_kotsinadelis). I think Rangefinder made a very puzzling faux pas with the intent of this article. To me, [...]
