Summer in Frisco: Family Photos

As I sit at my desk creating this post I’m looking outside at our latest snow storm and temps in the single digits. Don’t get me wrong, I love living in a winter wonderland, but sometimes, just sometimes a girl needs to thaw out a little. So I decided to share with you David and Caroline’s family photos from a beautiful late summer day last season!

David and Caroline wrote to me about scheduling family photos before their family’s annual summer trip to Summit County. Typically, more of my family photos happen on winter break but I was excited at the opportunity to capture some of Summit’s summer beauty with this extended family who loves the area so much. We had great fun roaming around some of my favorite spots in Frisco and creating oodles of portrait combinations for them. They even ordered a beautiful family album as a keepsake for the year! (Such a great idea!) I like to photograph at the end of the day so that my clients get a variety of “moods” from the photos. From bright and colorful full sun to that warm gold as the sun sets, to all the beautiful and subtle tones of the sky after the sun dips below the mountains and the horizon.

If you’re interested in family photos during your next vacation to these amazing Colorado rockies, give me a shout!

Happy Valentine's Day: A Year of Love

Wow! Another year absolutely overflowing with love is in the books. For this 2020 Valentine’s Day I wanted to take a look back at all the amazing people I got to work with in the last year. From surprise engagements to anniversaries, to families, to elopements, and weddings of all sizes, I had an absolute blast. Thank you to each and every one of out there not just from this past year, but from every year since I started this journey in 2006. Hats off to you and YAY FOR LOVE!

Also, don’t forget tomorrow, 2/15/20 is the last day to take advantage of our 10% off Valentine’s booking special! Book any photo services by the end of day tomorrow and then schedule them anytime before 12/31/21. This is good for weddings, anniversaries, engagement, and family sessions!

Margaux and Seamus: Sub Zero Sapphire Point Vows

This wedding was truly one for the record books. It was -4 degrees (that’s -20 C!!) and honestly, felt even colder than that. What it was lacking for in temperature though, it made up for in pure joy and sweetness. Plus, I couldn’t think of two people better suited for a sub zero wedding than those who met on a race across Antarctica for veterans!

Yup. You read that right.

They raced across Antarctica!

(Queue my adventures feeling small and humble…ha ha!)

So naturally, two super awesome adventurers decided to have a beautifully intimate little wedding a top one of Colorado’s most known spots, Sapphire Point. The snow was falling beautifully and due to the temps, we were pretty much entirely alone outside which only added to how special the moment was. Margaux and Seamus were total rock stars and showed the cold who was boss by not even worrying about jackets and gloves (meanwhile, I had a hard time even operating the shutter on my camera)! I especially loved the part where Seamus video chatted in his family from Australia so they could be there with them, not just in spirit, but see everything live as it was happening.

While I only had one hour with these two amazing people, they left me with a lasting impression as if it were much longer. I’m so grateful I got to work with them and I wish them all the happiness (and warm, sunny days) they can find in the future!
