Family photos...torture for some, great fun for me. The Sevdalian family had not had a family portrait in a verrryyyy long time. I found this great location a month ago during a senior portrait session. It was only a matter of time before I found the right family to bring back the spot. I wanted to shoot at dusk to take advantage of Denver's cityscape in the background. The results were exactly what we wanted. This family is not used to hanging out without extreme emotions flaring at some point, so we made sure to include some wild shots at the end of the shoot. They photographed beautifully.

The Ringelmann Family

Last Saturday I spent some time with the Ringelmann's at their home. It has been quite some time since they have had family pictures. They wanted some new family photos to send to family back in South Africa. My son went with me to assist, I must admit he is responsible for the fabulous smiles they have in some of these shots. The family dog was a bit camera shy, didn't want to be a part of too many shots. We had about 8 inches of snow on the ground the day before this shoot, but most of it was gone. What a beautiful family, we had a lot of fun.

Hayden

Hayden, all grown up.  This young man is a good friend of my family.  We had so much fun during this session.  He was very willing to do whatever.  He waited purposefully until October because he wanted fall color in his pictures.  Great choice, the color was awesome.  I shot his sisters senior portraits 2 years ago, how time flies.

Andrew #2

My faithful assistant and I met Andrew and his grandmother last week for Senior Portraits.  I found this really beautiful spot, and visited it for a second time.  However, it is private property and we were very cordially invited to leave...I have guilt.  But, before we left we did manage to get some great pictures of Andrew with his beautiful guitar and without.  He is a quite young man, but with the help of my talkative assistant we were able to get him to relax a bit and have fun.  I am sure that when there is not a camera in his face, he is another person completely.  

Family Portraits

A variety of shots from some of my family portrait sessions.   Family portraits are extra special.  No two can ever be alike.  I like when I get to work with a family dressed in everyday wear, and capture a regular day.  No special occasion needed.  Love it!

Mason...Senior Portraits

We shot Mason's senior portraits at Adam's County Fairgrounds.  He wanted to include some shots with his truck, which had plenty of character.  He and his mom were relieved when we were finished.  She was glad because he had them done, he was glad because we were done.

Alex...Senior Portraits

Alex and I met at an open space park north of Denver. We had to go in a back entrance because of construction, the road was a bit rustic.  We were dodging a light rain some of the time, but we managed to get the job done, she was a trooper.
