American Quilter Magazine Cover Photograph

A few weeks ago I had a commercial session for American Quilter Magazine. I photograph quilts, quilt projects and step-by-step instructions that illustrate the "how to" for some pieces that will be featured in the magazine.

As I was setting up, editor in chief Chris Brown, shared the exciting news: My photograph of Cartwheel Constellation, designed by Gail Garber was selected as the cover shot for the January 2010 issue!

It will be on news stands December 8th. American Quilter magazine, published by the American Quilter's Society in Paducah, Kentucky, USA, is the top-ranked quilting magazine for new techniques, lifestyle articles, design help, and distinctive patterns. Learn more:

Castle Rock/Littleton | Family Portraits

Tis the season...for family portraits!

I had the opportunity to photograph this fantastic family from Highlands Ranch twice! The first time was in August. We incorporated the session with their son's high school senior portrait. All was going well...until the family was sprayed by gale force sprinklers that were lurking behind a tuft of trees in Hudson Gardens! A little wet, but undaunted, we continued with with the session.

They were great sports about the event, but I still offered a re-shoot.

This time we photographed the session in Castle Rock where I live. The fall colors were ablaze and provided a beautiful backdrop. We also headed to my "secret location" for the portrait that they are using for their holiday card.

Here is the front of the Holiday card I photographed and designed for them:

Hudson Gardens/Fall Leaves| High School Senior Photography

I got a call from a dear friend who informed me that her daughter needed her senior portrait done...ASAP! Turns out (after much family discussion) her daughter will be graduating a YEAR ahead of schedule!

Needless to say, I jumped at the chance to photograph this gorgeous teen! She is not only beautiful inside and out, but extremely smart and a huge advocate for womens' issues.

Best wishes for your exciting future!

This is her selection for the Yearbook.
