Purple, the color of fun?
Amilia was a blast to shoot. She just moved from New Mexico to study here in Colorado and do theatre. For this photo shoot we went back to downtown Denver to find some great backgrounds, and a few worked out just fine. We photographed a variety of stuff from all natural light, to reflectors, to speed lights into reflectors, and shot with a variety of lenses to give us a medley of possibilities for...
Headshots Downtown
It was another beautiful day here in Denver. So for these headshots, Shannon and I went downtown. I rarely take pictures out here, but after this session, I think I am going to start doing it more. We started out near Commons Park, But there were so many wind tunnels around the buildings there, it made it hard for her hair to stay in one place. Every headshot from our photo shoot was made with...
Holiday Photos in the Park
My friend Serina and her daughter Gracy came out for a beautiful afternoon this December in Denver. Sometimes it snows, and sometimes it’s 50 degrees. We went to Westlands Park, where I have shot before with success. We did a combination of regular posed images and some candid photos of them playing in the snow, or playing itsy bitsy spider. We had a great time, and came out with some great...
Alani Headshot
Yet another headshot. This is Alani, looking to make it big in the business. We shot mostly in the studio for her photos, but venture out a little bit to see what other pictures we could make. This was taken with one light, an SB-800 in a softbox to her right triggered by pocket wizards.
Violin and Harp Shots
A few weeks ago I was hired to shoot a musician playing both Harp and Violin. I had all these ideas on how I was going to photograph it, make sure I used different kinds of light, make sure I use a variety of lenses, and at the end of the day, both she, and I were very pleased with the results.
Cousin's Wedding
This summer my cousin Sara Roberts was married in Big Sky, Montana. It was fantastic to see everyone again, it had been so long. At family events I do my best to be one of the family, instead a photographer. However, it is impossible to keep a camera out of my hands at an event like this, in a place as beautiful as this. I decided to just snap some pictures here and there.
Family Gathering
A few weekends ago, I took a break from Colorado and went back to Texas for my Grandparents 60th wedding anniversary, congratulations to them. While we were being the family photographer, I took some of them out to the back to take some portraits. These were the results. Nikon D3, 85mm at f/2.5.
