I got to photograph Stephanie and Jory at the Keystone Stables (thanks Jeff) for their engagement lifestyles session. The Colorado wedding is set for July 31 and the reception will be a wagon ride out to the old Soda Creek Homestead.
The wagon shot includes Jory’s daughter, Kylie, and the other kids!
More of this Keystone Wedding Photography coming soon!
I don’t spend a great deal of time marketing my arki…architekt…architect…house photography, but I was well-trained and continue to do for clients who appreciate the images which are properly lit and have had necessary adjustments to correct for perspective. Here’s a recent shoot in the Three Peaks neighborhood.
I loved the water feature in the backyard and the open living room area…floor to ceiling windows!
Jaynie has become my assistant ;~) and was invaluable on this shoot with helping to move furniture (to correct perspective) and her eye for styling, allowing me to concentrate on lighting. The image of the living room used 6 strategically-place lights!
I photographed Erica and Eric’s wedding July 10th as a wedding gift. Click their names to see the entire shoot at EventPix.com (password: ericaeric) or just enjoy a few of my favorites!
Most of my black and white images - like the flower girl, below - are captured in natural light, many of those using high ISO settings - my D300 creates a file which reminds me much of the “old days” shooting TriX and push processing using a recipe handed down to my by Gary O’Brien and Pete Schwepker while at NAU.
Anyway, enough technical stuff…enjoy!
The reflection of Madonna was just one of those finds…
My last posting…months ago (!) was of a dog photography session with Pete, who I had the opportunity of shooting in the studio. Here are two of the images I layered into a composite.
The composites are 16 x 20 and the image of Pete’s face is a 20×30 Gallery Wrap Canvas!
Gallery Wrap Canvas prints are a beautiful way to turn your photography into wall art. The images are printed on archival canvas and wrapped on a 1.5″ or 2.5″ Kiln-dried pine frame. These Gallery Wrap Canvas prints also feature open backs and pegs in the corners which allows the prints to adapt to humidity changes.
It’s time for me to refocus on my photography and begin posting images again. I’ve taken a bit of a hiatus from my blog and facebook to reorganize, regroup and move forward. As many of you know I was forced to close down Lake Dillon Art Center the end of May, for a lack of steady funding. In the coming months I’ll be rebuilding LITfoto.com, adding new pages to facebook and keeping my blog more up to date. So, with that, let me start with a few shoots I’ve done recently…
I am adding a couple more from Pete’s Colorado Dog photography session! These first two are clearly the hits of the session! I love the B&W images, too, for the way they portray a connection. Simple. And the last dog photo? Well. Tis the season!
Here are just two of the many fun dog photographs I captured of Pete during his studio session at LITfoto this week. Pete’s human, Eleanor is a veterinarian. This is one trick she wanted me to see! He was able to wait an amazingly long time before SNARFING! And wow, was he FAST! What was so funny, is that as we continued repeating the trick, he figured out to “accidentally” let the treat drop off his nose - knowing we’d give him another go at it! I haven’t finished editing these yet, but wanted to put these two out there!
I’m finally getting a moment to post photos from Sarah and Virgil’s wedding photography on October 3rd! Sorry for the delay, but I’ve been moving into a new space and getting the place all freshened up!
I hope you enjoy the photos. The wedding took place at the Lord of the Mountains church in Dillon, Colorado. The reception moved to the Silverthorne Pavilion. I love shooting at both venues! Lord of the Mountain Church is a bright, open and airy space. When the church constructed the cross you see in the photos, I was a photojournalist working for the local paper (Summit Sentinel) and actually photographed its construction! Getting the chance to shoot in there, always brings back fond memories.
And shooting at the Silverthorne Pavilion is always a joy. There is not another space in Summit County to rival the feel. This wedding had lights strung across which created a starlight effect - one which I really had fun with blurring as the evening led to dancing!
Wompas and Manu, two Wirehaired Pointing Griffons, recently visited the LITfoto studio for a session. The shot of Manu with dad’s shoe was a candid captured during the course of shooting! I love allowing for dogs to be themselves in front of my camera. This is my first session with Griffons and I was amazed at how intelligent and responsive 2-year-old Manu was with me! Wompas, at 12-years old, is captured to show off an amazing beard!
I recently photographed Isabel & McChan’s wedding at St. Mary’s Church in Breckenridge, CO with the reception in Keystone, CO. The entire wedding is online at EventPix.com. Password is: isabel
When it comes to photography of families, there is no telling what a studio session might be like. When Michelle & family from Alpine Veterinary Practice (Dillon, CO 80435 970/468-2144) came into the studio I had no idea what to expect from this mix of family photography, infant photography and dog photography!
Michelle & husband Chaz, one infant, one four-year-old (Cody) and two 11-week old lab puppies. Piece of cake. Sure. And when we were done shooting…WOW! I surprised even myself! Here’s a selection from an amazing session! I even had energy left to photograph the puppies by themselves when we were done.
Michelle and Chaz were great, leaving the pups alone for me to “work” with (ha ha ha). Okay, so it requires patience and a great sense of humor for puppy antics! The last set is a series of the pups posing, then falling prey to each other!
