About 1881 Photography:
My philosophy is to capture the Real you. Your favorite jeans and flip flops. The ice cream stain on your shirt after a fun treat. The snorting laughter after someone makes a joke. When you see the photograph hanging on your wall, I want you to stop and bath in the essence of you. I want the art on the wall to be you, the REAL you. What do you want to remember about this moment in your life? Let’s relax, have fun and let me capture a moment in your life.
She was up for whatever I suggested. I love her age group. Curious and able to explore. 
This last one makes me laugh. We were literally chasing the last bit of light. We drove on top of hill and quickly pulled over the cars and jumped out. There was so much mud. She rocked it on this shot. Thanks for a great session.
Twins and a beautiful little lady make for a great fun family. The parents have their hearts and hands full of life right now. This is from a mini session I did Boulder. It was a great fall afternoon.
The older son just grabbed his little sisters hand and started walking away. So PRECIOUS right. But that is this family. Check out how natural the kids are with their parents. I only positioned the parents and asked the kids to stand next to mom and dad. Little miss cutie puts her hand on mom’s face. Now that feeling is what a mom should remember FOREVER… My littlest guy grabs my leg a lot and that is the feeling I want to remember.
We met up at Wonderland Lake in Boulder, CO. What a great fall morning. Well maybe fall has not really began since it was about 75+ degrees. These two little boys reminded me of my boys. Shy but curious and loves their parents. The little guy loves his mama so much. He was connected to her at all times. The parents joked that he was like an old man with his serious expressions. His older brother could really bring out his little brother’s laugh.
Look at that background. Really could it get any better…. This view is so awesome and I am thankful that I get to see it so often.
An up and coming model contacted me to get some head shots for her portfolio. She is off to New York soon to met with agents. I am sure she will have no problem landing a job. She is comfortable in front of camera, poses naturally and knows what she wants.
Dreamy little newborn girl. The mom pulled out this hat box and asked if I could use it. Holy smokes batman, this took it to the next level. Baby O was so good for the whole session. And I have to say, a mother’s touch can always help relax a baby. She was able to sooth her little lady to sleep so quickly during each change in background.
It was so hot this evening and these kids did not even miss a beat. When I showed up, the family was finishing dinner and than we went on a walk to the trail behind their house. Great family evening, right! Their dad is an amazing landscape photographer- check out his work Bacon Photography. He was telling me that he hikes miles, sleeps for a few hours, gets up before the sun and than takes some amazing pictures and than heads home = Dedication. His family was so much fun. The mom is a great friend of mine. She is the kind of woman that you think of when you think ” ideal”. This was the kind of evening that was so much fun, I could do this every night. Well most nights, I would really miss my family.
OMG, these girls were such a delight to be around. Curious, polite and full of sunshine. They were eager to show me their dad’s firetruck. He is a local firefighter and works hard serving his community. Wait till you see on these images. It is very All-American and reminds of 4th of July and all that we should be celebrating.
What a beautiful summer morning. We met on a trail outside of Boulder and let the kids explore. The kids are big into hunting bugs and I got the honor of following them around to find tiny little bugs. It was a great way to start the weekend. I have three boys, and I thought I knew a thing or two about bugs. But I will tell you this little lady knew more than my whole family put together. Such little kids.
Photographing Mrs. B makes me miss being pregnant. She is so gorgeous and carries her little baby so well. Photographing her was easy and I had such a great time at her home. This is her third child, but first little girl. You can only image how excited they are.
