Hello everyone! Just wanting to make a last minute reminder of our open house. It is tomorrow, December 11, Saturday from 11AM to 2PM.

Stop by for some good ole’ holiday cheer, see what is new in the studio (we have completely re-done our studio) and check out our photo gifts (jewelry, accordian books, float wraps and photo jewelry). We are also offering a one day sale on any re-prints of past orders (20% off prints and 10% off gallery wraps) and they make awesome Christmas presents.

From our family to yours…

Mothers of Preschoolers International — Teaching moms how to take better pictures…

admin — Fri, 03 Dec 2010 19:32:49 +0000

Next Wednesday, December 15, I get the privilege of speaking at our local chapter of Mothers of Preschoolers International. The topic will be subject near and dear to my heart–photos. I remember wanting so badly to capture my child’s true personality and, then, as if on cue, the moment the camera came up, the cute moment turned south. Sometimes the smile turned into a fake grin or, more often than not, a battle scene ensued and the magical moment was lost. Unfortunately, when my kiddos were little, I was not a professional photographer and did not have the knowledge of lighting and composition that I have now. These moments are fleeting and you want to make the most of it. I love passing on what I know. Obviously, there is a time and place for professional portraiture and, of course, I hope everyone remembers me but, in the meantime, get out those digital cameras and take the best pictures you can with a few simple principles in mind. I will be speaking at the Lookout Mountain Community Church’s MOPS chapter at 9AM on Dec 15, Wednesday morning. If you would like to join us, please call 303.526.9287 prior to Wednesday.

I just LOVE capturing kids being kids…

Wall art

admin — Wed, 29 Sep 2010 20:58:25 +0000

Wall art? What is it? It is simply art for your walls. In our context, it is creating artwork from the people you love the most, your family. This is what warms a home and proclaims who is special to you. I love it when people choose to decorate the walls of their home with images from their family. Snapshots have their place but I am talking about taking the best images your family has ever taken and displaying it in a very artistic and creative way. We have had the privilege of shooting a family from Evergreen over the years. It began with the son’s senior pictures and then the daughter’s senior pictures. They are now off at college and the mother wanted something special to adorn the walls of her home. We designed a unique layout of 24 galley wraps. We are all thrilled with the results.

Evergreen Family Shoot

About two weeks ago, we had the privilege of shooting this family. Pretty amazing people! Due to some scheduling difficulties, we had only about twenty minutes! Yikes! Our normal session lasts at least an hour. Thankfully, everyone felt really comfortable right away–even this precious baby. On the count of three, she would explode with applause, laughter and a huge grin. Don’t think for a minute that we did not take her special talent and use it over and over again to create some awesome images. Absolutely precious! She is the definition of delight.
Michael is the one who contacted us for this photo shoot. Michael is an amazing man and he is running for the 6th US Congressional District. Please check out his website at www.kearnsforcongress.com. His website may be under construction for a few more days, so be sure to check back. He is a passionate man with a message you will want to hear. Michael is also the only man to have parachuted over all seven continents and, for his fortieth birthday, did 41 parachute jumps. He is definitely someone you want to get to know! Here are the images from his family shoot…

Colorado Family Shoot

admin — Mon, 15 Mar 2010 05:21:06 +0000

We created this little video of one of our family shoots. The family wanted a true Colorado setting and they got more than they bargained for-snowing like crazy and twenty degrees. No one complained and we worked really fast! Beautiful family and it was a real privilege to work with them. We are honored to have one of these images hanging above their fireplace as a very large gallery wrap. Please enjoy…

On February 18, this world lost one of its angels but it was definitely heaven’s gain. Chris’ mother passed away after a year long bout with breast cancer that spread to her liver. She was truly an amazing woman-so full of kindness and grace. It has been a hard couple of weeks…I am so intensely grateful for my family, both extended and immediate. They are truly awesome and life would not at all be the same without family.
A while back I included these lyrics in an email I sent out to many of you but I think it needs to be repeated because we can all forget what is important from time to time:

Don’t Blink by Kenny Chesney

“Don’t blink
Just like that you’re six years old and you take a nap and you
Wake up and you’re twenty-five and your high school sweetheart becomes your wife
Don’t blink
You just might miss your babies growing like mine did
Turning into moms and dads next thing you know your “better half”
Of fifty years is there in bed
And you’re praying God takes you instead
Trust me friend a hundred years goes faster then you think
So Don’t blink”

Here is a little photo tribute to Mary:

And of course we spent time with our adorable niece and nephews…

Evergreen Family Shoot

You would never believe that this family shoot occurred at the beginning of a blizzard in 20 degree weather! Talk about great sports! These guys were unbelievable!

Evergreen Family Photoshoot

Don’t for a minute think that this shoot was not cold…it was COLD! The entire family were such great sports. I think the temperatures were in the 30′s. It definitely takes some encouragement, positive thinking and some magic “warm up candy” to get great shots of families in this weather. My favorite shots below are between brother and sister. Sometimes happy accidents just happen. Chris and I had pretty much used our arsenal of “can’t-lose-gonna-make-’em-smile-tricks” and decided to just take a break inspite of the setting sun and falling temperatures, when something unexpected happened between brother and sister and got all of us giggling. This is just a sneak preview of some of our images and cannot wait to show the family the whole thing!

You would never know it was about 20 degrees outside…this family rocks! We are thrilled to shoot this family–grandparents, their daughters and son-in-laws and grandkids! We got some really special images that I just cannot wait to share. Here are just a few…

Too cute for words!
