We’re off this morning for a week-long visit to St. Louis! I’ll be doing 8 portrait sessions while I’m there, and we’re having our engagement portraits done as well. Finally there will be more than just one good photo of John and I :) I’ll be checking email and voicemail while I’m gone, I just might be a little slower than usual. Back in Denver on June 16th!

The bride wore snakeskin shoes. The groom wore a pink tie. It was an event 12 years in the making.
Lindsay and Austin met when they were just 11 years old, and they were married Saturday at the the Phipps Mansion in Denver. Keri Doolittle was the primary photographer, and she asked me to come along as her second photographer for the day. It’s been years since I’ve been a second shooter, and I was pleased to re-discover how much fun it is. As the second shooter you get to play – trying different angles and lighting – and you don’t have to worry about portraits, the processional, or staying in the most central position during the ceremony. It’s far less pressure, and always fun to watch another photographer work.
The result, of course, is that I took far fewer photos, seeing as I was not the primary shooter at the event. But here are some of the favorites from Saturday’s wedding. Thanks, Keri, for bringing me along!
Hey Tracy! It’s Katie… the other shooter from Sat. I LOVE your stuff!! I wanted to come see Lindsay and Austin’s shots and have been looking around for a while now at ALL your shots!! :) I hope we can work together again sometime! Or at least I hope to run into you at more Smug meetings!
BEAUTIFUL images!!! Great job and THANK YOU for helping me out! :-)

Like most of us, Dave is multidimensional. He has a corporate side – suit, tie, jacket. Serious accountant Dave. But then he has his casual side – jeans, baseball cap, tennis shoes. Happy dog owner Dave.
We combined both sides into one for his portrait shoot yesterday. Dave had photos of him alone, so I thought Sadie should get some, too. She’s just so darn cute.
Love that shot with the dog in the tall grass! See… this is what I miss about Missouri (I know you’re in CO, but it’s the same feel).
:)
Great contrast between the business side and at home…
Congrats to Melissa and Chris – their wedding will be featured in an upcoming issue of The Knot magazine! To see more of their beautiful art gallery wedding, CLICK HERE. Congrats guys!

The best way to create authentic family photos is to spend at least part of the session doing something fun. It doesn’t have to be complicated or fancy – just something you and your family like. Something unique to you that someday you’ll want to remember. It’s what allows me to create images that show who your family is, not just what they look like.
Sometimes it’s hard to think of what that specific activity is – I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard people say they “aren’t that interesting” and maybe they should just go sit in the park and smile. Don’t default to boring! Take time to think it over – it’s worth the effort. Here are a few ideas to get you started. View full post »
