Nate-Head Shots

Nate needed some head shots for a new business card. That wasn't a problem. Another great excuse to put the new home studio to work! So Nate stopped by for a short and sweet 30 minute session and we got a couple of nice shots out of it. In these shots I took advantage of our north facing garage doors. No fancy lighting set-up, just open the garage door and shoot. Even Buckwheat, my ever faithful assistant, got in on the act. He's going to make a fine assistant one day!

Alison-Senior Portraits

I recently did a senior portrait session with Alison. Alison likes to spend a lot of her time in the out of doors (that is if you can be "in" the outdoors?) so we ventured out to a canopy of trees as well as doing some indoor studio shots. This was the first shoot in the new garage studio. I say it was a success! Best of luck to Alison as she begins her endeavors out into this big wide woolly world! By the end of the  shoot, I think I pretty successfully convinced her to pursue a career as a Park Ranger Accountant Gorilla Wrangler in the Congo. I'm full of all sorts of good advice for our youth! Dream big.

Big Prints, Big Signs, and Big Ideas

Things have been a bit quiet lately here on the blog front, but that doesn't mean that exciting things aren't bubbling just below the surface. I don't want to say too much and jinx anything, so I will leave most things veiled in a cloudy veil of mystery for now. What I can say is I will be giving away this big guy (20"x31.5") at the Connecting Signs open house this Friday, June 27, from 3-5pm. So stop on by if you like signs, supporting local business, and free art! I can also say that this image is from a book I did a while back called "Aloha." And with that, all I can say is, "Aloha!"

Rund um das Haus im Sommer- Images from the Kitchen Counter

Already this summer has been too hot for too long with too many fires here in Colorado. I thought I left all these wild fires behind in California. I guess not. While the High Park fire was burning outside, it made for some interesting light streaming in through the blinds. The good news is, after three weeks of burning, it's looking like the fire will be fully contained by this weekend. Let's hope the same is soon true for the rest of Colorado.

Tropicana Square, Hawaii, and Being Stuck in Traffic

 Found a few more from my trip to Hawaii back in March to photograph my sister's wedding.

Pet Portraits- Buckwheat

Pets need their portrait taken too! This is Buckwheat and he's the newest member of our family. We fostered him for a week before we actually adopted him from A Puppy's Voice. This is him right after he found out he was going to be a permanent member of the family. Much like Bucky here, we're just trying to figure it all out!

Getting Weird with the Beastie Boys- R.I.P. MCA

If this doesn't inspire you to get weird and be creative I don't know what will. Thank you Adam Yauch for showing us that you can have fun and a conscience, too. R.I.P. MCA.
