while you’re waiting for me to finish updating my blog (this could take days!), feel free to look at a little eye candy below or poke around on my site!! fingers crossed that i can change the title font!!! eek! not loving that with my new beautiful logo… :)
With as busy as I’ve been, it’s taken me so long to get the images together for a video! These are some of the amazing families I got to photograph in Crested Butte this year. Rather than go on and on, I think just hitting PLAY will show you how much I’ve enjoyed this fall!
I hope you enjoy….
After searching for several hours both in Denver and in Crested Butte, I finally pinpointed two amazing locations…
First up, Crested Butte. I knew I wanted to find someplace that was different from the locations I’d used lately and I had several in mine over the top of Kebler Pass. Unfortunately, Kebler really isn’t in great condition right now. But that didn’t stop me – I found the perfect spot about 12.5 miles away. It’s easy to get to and, when you watch this little slide show, you’ll see that it’s got a nice little path in it that is easily overlooked. The path does have some logs across it at one point, but I just see that as another photo opportunity and not an obstacle!
I can’t wait to see what this looks like in a week – I suspect it’ll be gorgeous. I mean, even MORE gorgeous! (On a side note, I just went up there today – Thursday, the 22nd – and you can see there is almost no yellow when you see the first 3 images!)
Next up, Denver. Or rather, Morrison. This stunning location is just east of the little town of Morrison and easy to get to. Once there, you’ll have to pay a small $5 entrance fee that is totally worth it! The variety here is just amazing! There’s a small beach, some bamboo, a fun play structure, a little creek and lots and lots of fun climbing trees! Perfect to satisfy everyone, I think you’ll find this to be a perfect spot for photos. And in mid October? Stunning!

Need more information about the photoshoots coming up? Head to this post and contact me for more information! But please hurry – I’m almost completely full and only have a few spots left in CB, the first weekend in Denver is full and I only have 4 slots for the second Denver weekend (date hasn’t been finalized yet).
I love getting calls to do a new type of photoshoot. While not unheard of, I actually haven’t seen very many people do anniversary photos. And I just LOVE the idea and now wish I’d done that last year for my 10th.
But that’s exactly what Holly called me to do – a 10th anniversary shoot. They were so sweet – the love they felt was so apparent on their faces!
Happy Anniversary, Holly and Nick!
This is a question that I get asked time and time again! And while I did put together a little list, I thought maybe a better explanation of what works and what doesn’t might be in order!
I’ve been doing some thinking about this – and reevaluating what I’ve always told people.
I’ve always said white reflects too much and it’s hard to shoot, but I’ve had some clients look amazing in their white outfits. (Although white in the snow really doesn’t work for obvious reasons!)
Large logos can be distracting from the face, but sometimes it just suits the personality of the wearer and just seems to be the perfect choice!
Wearing matching clothes for some people feels too “put together”, and yet for others it’s a reflection of who they are!
Trendy clothes can look dated quickly, but they also set those photos in time and help you remember how special they may have been….
Gosh, this probably isn’t helping you out at all!
So my advice? Find what works for you! If you don’t feel comfortable in the clothes you’re wearing, you won’t look as comfortable in your photos. If they are a style that’s radically different than you normally wear, maybe you need to find something that’s shows who you are.
Things that I think work really well:
A few other suggestions I would make:
Are you still at a loss?
Maybe perusing my blog will help you out! Check out the photos that stand out to you as something you really love and find clothing that’s similar. While there are definitely a lot of guidelines out there, there are no hard and fast rules. Besides, this is YOUR photoshoot! So dress however you’d like….
