Here are some photos from a recent family and children portrait photography shoot I did at Tri-City Park in Placentia, CA. The Casto’s have been my friends for over 10 years and it’s been so much fun watching their family grow. They have the sweetest, most energetic, blue-eyed, blonde haired babies around!
I think this shoot is a perfect example of a “typical” family and children portrait session. Some formal, mostly candid, but all fun!
This is a long overdue post about Lauren & Matt’s engagement session which took place last winter while I was home in New Jersey. I’m flying back this weekend to photographer their wedding and can’t wait to work with these long-time friends again! The engagement shoot took place on a warm December day and we were given some of New Jersey’s beautiful, sunset, golden light to bask in as we wandered around Davidson’s Mill Park. Love these two and can’t wait for this weekend!
Zoey is one. She loves flashing her two bottom teeth, her talking toy police car, clapping her hands, singing, dancing and her mommy and daddy. We had a great little family portrait session out at Boulder, Colorado’s Chautauqua Park where this little peanut gave me so many sweet expressions and precious moments that editing her photos was such a challenge, I loved them all!
Elle & Grant had a beautiful, intimate winter wedding at Beaver Creek’s Splendido located inside The Chateau. The bride wore black and it snowed the entire day. It was such a pleasure spending a couple of hours with this madly in love couple and their close group of family and friends. 
2013 was an excellent year for me. The business grew tremendiously and once again I got to work with a plethera of open, welcoming and adventurous couples at some of the most beautiful Colorado (and Costa Rica!) wedding venues. The photos below are some (not all) of my favorite moments from the year. Some of the moments that I will forever remember… like a father’s old hands folding a pocket square for his son about to walk down the aisle, bridesmaids fawning over the beautiful bride, a father wiping a tear from his face, grandma wearing curlers and playing solitaire, a flower girl picking wild flowers, fly fishing… kisses, tears and so many smiles.
This wonderful, crazy job of mine had me photographing weddings during a Valentine’s Day blizzard on top of a mountain, among golden aspen trees in the crisp fall air and along the steamy beaches of tropical Costa Rica. Every time I meet with a new client I get excited. Excited of the possibility to work with a new family, to share some laughs with a couple brimming with love and to help document the beginning of their future together. I hope this collection reflects the beauty, humor and subtle moments that I aim to capture and I am so looking forward to working with all my wonderful couples of 2014. Thanks so much to everyone who helped make 2013 awesome!
A new Year’s Eve wedding… what fun!! I met Carrie & Billy a couple years ago when I photographed Carrie’s brother’s Estes Park wedding and I was so pleased when they had me come back for their special day. Repeat customers are the best!
Carrie & Billy came in from Chicago and had an amazing Colorado wedding reciting their vows at the Church of the Holy Ghost followed by a wild party in downtown Denver at the Brown Palace’s Onyx Room. Their guests came ready to celebrate and celebrate they did.
What a fitting day to get married… a new year, a fresh start, a wonderful night to begin the rest of your lives together. So happy I got to start the new year off with such a fantastic couple.
