Quality time with Santa

Got to spend some quality time with the big guy during a shoot in Denver last week, made sure I was on his nice list and asked for a healthy, happy and busy 2013 for myself and my family. He just nodded, laid a finger aside his nose and up the elevator soon he rose...

My Instacanvas gallery is open!

Yes, it is!
I know, I know I've heard the jokes "Instagram is just facebook for people who can't read." And "How much does a hipster weigh? An instagram!" But I still love it, I love the simplicity of it. Just photos and comments and hashtags. That's it. Minimal spam, minimal bs and a more global look at the world through others eyes that I just don't have in my other social media circles. And the fact that now you can buy canvas prints and phone cases of photos taken with a phone just cracks me up!

 So, if you would like to see some more of my personal work and were looking for something unique to buy for the holidays, check out my Instacanvas gallery. You can purchase cool iphone cases, greeting cards framed prints, and of course canvas prints. Let me know what you think!

Sunset ski

These are from a few years back, on a frozen lake about 5 miles from my house. I've been out there recently and it looks quite the same now as it did then.

You stole my heart Valentine!

My son and I were brainstorming about valentines day cards for his kindergarten class, trying to come up with something to outdo his cards from last year, which was a shot of his face covered in stickers with the line "I'm stuck on you Valentine!".  Using all of his favorite things these days, legos, police and candy, this is what we came up with. Got the shot just in time too, as his little sister ate the candy heart right after this was taken.

Breckenridge portrait session

These are a few of my favorites from Lizzie and TJ's engagement portrait session last fall in Breckenridge, CO. The handmade wedding date numbers were Lizzie's idea and something I hadn't seen or shot before. Looking forward to shooting the wedding in the summer!

SIA Snowshow 2012

If you happen to be in Denver for the SIA Snowshow this weekend, chances are you will walk right past the Vintage Winter booth. I've been shooting for Jeff Hume a bit for his website of ski and snow riding related decor.

Shot of the Yard, including the Winter Park and Ruby Hill Rail Yard booths, at last years SIA Snowshow. Ping pong anyone?

Ruby Hill Rail Yard, one year ago

Unfortunately, I have to post some shots from last year as Ruby Hill Rail Yard project has been cancelled for the 2012 season by Denver Parks and Recreation. Warm weather is to blame this year as the snowmaking was never turned on, so sad. So today we remember what it is and what will be again, a community coming together to provide a wonderful place to get city kids hooked on snow.
