Ashley & Joe’s San Francisco Engagement session!

Tuesday, March 16, 2010 Posted in Portraits, engagements, travel

One of the best parts of this job is the opportunity to meet all sorts of cool couples from all over the country. It may sound cliche, but we really love getting to know our clients and developing a relationship with them. We feel like every minute you spend talking to and getting to know a couple makes everyone tons more comfortable on the wedding day, so when Jenny and got the chance to fly to San Francisco for Ashley and Joe’s engagement session, we were totally stoked. Now, we already frickin’ love engagement sessions, but when you throw in a new setting, and iconic backdrops like the golden Gate Bridge and the Cali coast, we pretty much lose our minds with how amped we are! I’m pretty sure Ashley and Joe think I’m a total freak with how giddy I was.

Despite all their protestations of how bad they were going to be in their photo session, Ashley and Joe were soooo easy to work with. Joe is currently living in L.A. while Ashley lives in S.F., so I think having a weekends to spend together is particularly awesome for them, even if there are a couple of uber paparazzi taking thousands of shots of them! We cruised between the Marina, Chrissy Field, Fort Point, the GGB and Point Lobo, and these guys were super positive and supportive the whole time. Honestly, we couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful day or amazing couple.

Ashley and Joe, you guys totally rule. Thanks so much for a great day and we cant wit for the wedding this summer!

Bess & Preston’s Vail Evening Wedding

Wednesday, March 10, 2010 Posted in weddings

There is no doubt that big gala weddings and receptions are not only a great time to shoot, but also a lot of fun to be at. Bands, drunken Uncles, little kids doing the worm…love it all. Still, at the heart of the experience is supposed to be the quiet, thoughtful commitment to someone for the rest of your life.

Bess and Preston boiled everything down to what the wedding ceremony meant to them and came up with a thoughtful, moonlight ceremony at Preston’s family house in Vail. It was Jenny and I, the two of them and the officiant.

If the evening was short on the standard wedding hoopla, it was long on the love and intimacy these two seem to be all about and we feel honored to have been there. Put all this against an amazing, original Vail mountain house and I think Bess and Preston got just what they were looking for from their evening. Thanks so much to you two, and good luck as you move forward!

Waiting for Rylen….

Saturday, February 27, 2010 Posted in Portraits, commercial

Winter is for organizing, connecting with new clients, and catching up with others. Nate and I both get to grow and learn new techniques, and I get to catch up with many of our first year project clients. Jen and Tim let me make suggestions and they always go with the flow, personality traits that will serve them well when their second daughter Rylen joins them any day now! Jen is proud of her beautiful belly, and we tried to involve big sister Rory in as much as we could. Thank you Jen and Tim, and I can’t wait to meet Rylen!


Rory is so delicate and sweet and quiet…


Beautiful Jen.

Logan at 9 months

Tuesday, February 16, 2010 Posted in Portraits, commercial

Logan is nine months old, and she and her wonderful family are taking part in a modified first year project. Seeing them every few months, and seeing Logan grow, has been amazing. We headed out into the February sun for a playful park session, and Logan’s energy and spunk did not disappoint. Logan has been gorgeous and easy going since our first session when she was only 10 days old, and I am really looking forward to capturing some flying frosting for her first birthday portraits in April!

Thank you Nancy, James, and Logan for letting us document this fleeting first year!

Jenny and I spent this weekend in Chicago meeting with some clients and having a generally amazing time. Such a great city! Anyway, we definitely had our weekend capped off by seeing some of our images on the newsstand!

Ryan and Korey had their Beaver Creek wedding featured in the Spring/Summer issue of Chicago Social Brides magazine and we’re so thrilled to have some of our images featured in the mag. There is just something about seeing your images in print that makes you smile, and we’re definitely grinning!

Thanks Ryan and Korey and congrats!

Kassia & Nick are married!

Wednesday, February 3, 2010 Posted in weddings

There is no doubt that summer weddings are beautiful, but we really like the different look and feel you get from great weddings in the winter. Maybe it’s the post holiday rut but it seems like people are always SUPER stoked for a winter wedding. Kass and Nick’s friends and family showed up in force to help them celebrate the day, and anytime you get 10 shirtless guys in the PhotoCorner, you know things are going well.

Kassia and Nick got married at Saint Jude Catholic Church in Lakewood followed by a reception at Hudson Gardens in Littleton. Thanks so much to them for letting us be there!

We heart anna bé

Monday, February 1, 2010 Posted in engagements, weddings

Although Kelli and Sebastian’s wedding was featured on their blog months ago we hadn’t had time to catch up with the lovely ladies of Anna Be until last week. Their new space on Boulder Street in the Highlands fits their aesthetic to a T and is sure to make any bride inspired and happy as soon as she walks in the door. If you are on the hunt for a unique wedding dress like Kelli’s, a beautiful Sara Gabriel headpiece, or some super chic bridesmaids dresses, stop at Anna Be first!

As Boulderites (read:quasi-hippy liberal earth-lovers), we were very happy to see that next up on their calendar is a trunk show by Adele Wechsler, who is known for her green “Eco-Couture” gowns…..which, let’s face it, should be a huge hit for all our brides striving to be green even on their wedding day!

Thanks for taking the time to hang out with us Anna and Breanna, we hope to see you again very soon!

Portrait Sessions – All Proceeds Go To Help Haiti

Thursday, January 14, 2010 Posted in Portraits, travel

Photo © by Galen R Frysinger (all rights reserved) used with permission.

When things like the earthquake in Haiti happen, our first instinct, after thanking our lucky stars that we’re safe and sooo fortunate, is to want to figure out something to do to help. Because we love travel, getting on a plane and physically going to help seems like a good option. That said, Haiti has loads of people on the ground, with far too few resources to go around at the moment. The fact is that the best thing to do to help is to contribute. Organizations like the International Red Cross are often the first into an area, and they have the expertise and infrastructure to do the most good with what they have.

So here is the pitch. This is a bit off the top of my head, but what we’re thinking is two different portrait options. The first option is signing up for a “portrait social” day we’ll have sometime in the spring. There will be food, drinks, and I’m sure lots of kids, and we’ll hold it in a local park here in Boulder. Show up, enjoy yourself, and have your portraits taken. The second option will be our more standard portrait. You and us in a location that works for everybody. Kids, families, maternity…everything goes. Both sessions will come with your edited photos on disk with reprint rights.

We’ll run this for the next three days. The group portrait will be $150 and the standard portrait session will be $300. The best part is that ALL the proceeds will go directly to the International Red Cross. I’ll set up a couple of dates for the group session, and you can schedule the standard session anytime over the next year, so even if you’re busy we can still make this work. The catch is that you have to pay up front so we can get the money to the folks who can really use it.

It seems like the gnarliest things happen to the people who can afford it the least, but this is a good opportunity for us all to contribute something we do have and help out a lot of people who really need it.

Please give us a shout or an email with any questions, and thanks!
