Happy, Happy New Year

Happy, Happy New Year to family, friends and colleagues! Just an update: I returned yesterday after a month away from Colorado due to a family medical emergency. (Thank you for all your kind words of support and prayers.)

Unfortunately, I was unable to get Christmas cards out this year... here is the image that you would have received...less Holiday Greetings:)



Looking forward to getting back to work...

Gorgeous Nicole

My daughter's BFF from pre school modeled for photographer Ken Mellott and me at my new favorite location. Ken brought the big guns: his Alien Bee 800 and a huge softbox. I usually don't like to cart a lot of gear around...especially heavy stuff like lights, softboxes and battery packs...but wow...we wouldn't have gotten images like these without the beautiful soft light that these Bee's produce.

Thank you Nicole for spending a Sunday afternoon with us and to Tori for acting as "stylista" and photo assistant!
Here are a few from the shoot.

The "Griswolds"

If we are in town for the holidays, part of the celebration preparation includes searching for the perfect Charlie Brown Christmas tree in a national forest. This year we ventured into the Woodland Park area south of Colorado Springs. Here is my My husband aka: "Clark Griswold" and daughter finding and "bagging" that special pine!

Special Olympics Fall Classic

Recently I got an email from Working with Artists asking photographers to volunteer to photograph the Special Olympics Fall Classic. I decided to photograph volleyball...a game which I am VERY familiar.(My daughter played club and varsity volleyball.)

The games were not unlike true Olympic games. Time was kept, rules in place and scores were recorded. The athletes were dedicated, focused, and competitive! It was my privilege to photograph such a worthwhile event and I am richer for the experience. So is my daughter who volunteered that day too!

Here are a few images from the day...





This athlete saw me with the camera and just HAD to strike this pose! What a guy!





This athlete had the most engaging smile...

Fabulous Location

I am always on the look-out for interesting locations. I recently "found" a wonderful site filled with Colorado nature at its best, an interesting red barn and old stone home. I'll have to do some research as to the history...it must have been a homestead; there's a dilapidated outhouse nearby!

Suggested this location for a family shoot...They were so up for the adventure! The girls were super models that day! They brought great outfits, attitudes and energy; it couldn't have been more perfect! Here are a just a few...

Gorgeous girls

Here is an image I took while visiting with Rachel and her daughter. Two stunning ladies! BTW Rachel took the photograph of me for my blog.
