Ellie

I did my first Senior Portrait shoot with a good friend’s daughter a little over a month ago.  I wasn’t sure how it would turn out, but I can very comfortably say that I’m happy with the results.  We started in the studio and then went outside to take advantage of the fall colors.  Mom was my very important assistant and helped with wardrobe and hair that was flying in the breeze.  All in all it was a good experience and I’m looking forward to doing more in the future.

If you’d like to book your photo shoot or contact me with any questions you might have, you can do so right here online.

February is my month

I wish it was February all year long……Not only was I born in February, but the 2012 USPA Calendar is sporting one of my shots of Brad and Jenny Cole in the month of February.  We took the shot in early June around 8:15 in the morning on a clear blue day with snow still covering the Rocky Mountains in the background.  Thanks guys for getting up early!

Aspens in Colorado

October was a busy month for me.  I was literally gone every single weekend on this coast or that.  Over the summer I was really excited to get the so iconic aspen pictures this fall that help define Colorado.  Unfortunately we were having a warmer than normal fall and all of the trees were turning late.  So the last weekend in September was the last weekend that I could go and search out some nice aspens.  As luck would have it, we stumbled on a few and here are some of the choice shots.  Next year I’m hoping to be around more so that I can enjoy the changing of the seasons here as I once did in New England.  Aspens don’t quite compare to what New England has to offer, but they are quite beautiful in their own right.

Skydive Sebastian’s Halloween Freefly Extravaganza

Skydive Sebastian hosted their Annual Halloween Freefly Extravaganza this past weekend, but someone forgot to put the Freefly part in there.  Remnants of Hurricane Rina covered southern Florida and put a stop to all jumping with winds and rain.  Aside from a few hop n pop loads on Saturday, there wasn’t one jump to be had.

It’s a sad thing really to travel across the country and spend a bunch of money getting there to end up not making one skydive.  It does happen from time to time, but that still doesn’t make it any less sad.  With that said, the saving grace to this trip were the Halloween Costume Party and the Fear Factor Food contest that were held Saturday night.  Jumpers weren’t going to let the fact that they couldn’t jump get in the way of the party!

Here are some of the choice shots from the event.  If you’d like to check out the ENTIRE GALLERY CLICK HERE.

Chicks Rock 2011

Another Epic Chicks Rock at Skydive Elsinore along with a stop on the Size Matters Tour with SkyVenture Colorado!  The turn out was huge and the 4 turbine planes were starting to back up.  There was so much going on I didn’t even get to jump with all of the organizers!  Heaven and Hell was the theme this year and you’ll see in the shots below, the costumes lived up to it!  Looking forward to next year!
