Dream Foundation

A few weeks ago I had an opportunity of a lifetime. My good friend Jensen Sutta has been working with the Dream Foundation. He has told me it would be a great charity to get involved with. Jensen received a call to donate his photography to making a dream come true. I was lucky enough to be invited to photograph the session with him.

We headed down to the Broadmoor to photograph Linda and her sisters. Linda's story is incredible. She was diagnosed with breast cancer just over two years ago. She has fought with every ounce of courage and will power that she has in her. She has endured over 30 chemo treatments, over 40 radiation treatments and numerous surgeries. She is still fighting this battle and all she asked for was one wish... to spend a few days with her sisters.

As many of you know this hits very close to home for me. It meant the world to me to be able to photograph her dream come true. Jensen worked on a slideshow of some of the images we took together. Click HERE if you want to watch the slideshow.

Chris and Sharla at Phipps Mansion

Chris and Sharla have a connection that started over 10 years ago. The first day that Chris told Sharla that he loved her was the last day of 8th grade under their friends tree. It is obvious that their love has only grown deeper since then. I joked that after the first 5 minutes we started taking pictures we had enough great photographs to be done for the day. : ) Eight hours later we have too many good ones to choose from. Here is a slideshow of their wedding day. I forgot to mention that my good friend Jensen Sutta came along to shoot with me. We had a blast working together.

Firas and Cally

I just knew I was going to like Cally and Firas from our very first conversation. They live in Atlanta and booked their wedding with me after our phone conversations. The first time I got to meet them was at their engagement session. We had a almost perfect shoot in Boulder. It did rain for about 15 minutes, but it made for a great time to catch up in the car. We moved around to a few different spots near the flat irons. I think we could have stayed out there all day taking pictures. I can't wait for their upcoming wedding. If you want to see more check out their slideshow.

Andy and Jessica's Wedding

I have been so busy with shooting there has been little time to post on my blog. I am back and have a lot to show you.

A few weeks ago I photographed Andy and Jessica's wedding. They got married at St. Johns Cathedral. It is one of the most incredible churches in Denver. The wedding was highlighted with hues of bright pink peonies. Andy and Jessica are such a darling couple. They are a perfect match. They had a huge band that rocked the reception and got everyone dancing. If you want to see more be sure to watch the slideshow.

Check out the bling! : )

These are two of my favorite images from the entire wedding. The architecture of the church is perfect for pictures.

Here is Andy just a few minutes before the ceremony.

I loved this shot of Andy and Jess right as they were heading into the reception.

My Birthday

Well my birthday has come and gone so fast this year. I wanted to post a cute photo Melissa Rich sent to me on my b-day. She is so creative. : ) She actually wrote this out, took a photo of herself and emailed it to me on my birthday. I have a lot more to post from shoots I have been doing. More to come soon...

Seal of Approval

Dzifa and I went out for a morning jog down to the beach. We saw these two little guys playing in the shallow waters. We booked it back to our room, grabbed our cameras and prayed that they would still be there. Just to our luck, they were! These monk seals are endangered, but often make an appearance on the shores of Poi Pu Beach. They played for over an hour with each other. One of the seals was a ham for the camera.

Kauai Bound

Dzifa and I headed to Kauai to visit with my family. We manage to duck out of Colorado once a year to visit the garden island. This year was just as spectacular as our previous years. Here are a few images from our visit with our dear friend Wayne and Nancy. We went for a hike while Nancy stayed back at the cabin to work on a delicious meal for us. I don't think I have ever had homemade noodles before, but it is a delicacy I will always remember. Visiting Wayne and Nancy is one of my favorite things to do in Kauai. Thier hospitality and friendship is endless. Wayne is a photographer and Nancy is an artist. You can check out their work at http://homepage.mac.com/kauai.woodandpaper/nancy.dawson/page1.html I will have more photos coming soon.

Nancy busy at work making us a yummy dinner.


They collect bottles from all over. Here is an image of some of my favorite ones they display in their window.
This cabin has so much charm and charisma.

A visit would not be complete if Wayne didn't sing and play for us. He has traveled with Taj Mahal and makes it out to Colorado every now and then. We all sat back, drank wine and soaked it all in.

Chris and Sharla

At last we had a week of good weather! We kept having to reschedule Chris and Sharla's engagement session because of rain or snow. We had a little wind, but it ended up being a perfect day for photographs. I loved spending time with Chris and Sharla. They are so cute and loving with one another. After ten years of dating their deep connection is obvious. I can't wait for their upcoming wedding. Don't forget to check out their slideshow!

Best Wishes- Katie

Spring Is In The Air

I am ready for warm spring days and crisp cool nights. Here are a few hints that spring is right around the corner. I am looking forward to this week and next because I have a few engagement sessions. Stay tuned for the latest photographs to post here.

Little Ayla

I was leaving work the other day and I turned around in the parking lot to pick up Ayla. When I looked down she wasn't there. I looked back towards the stairs and there she was waiting for me. I had to take a picture becuase she looked so darn cute.

Josh and Katie at the Brown Palace

Josh and Katie had a beautiful intimate wedding at the Brown Palace. It was a very quaint wedding with just family and a few close friends. It has been really great getting to know them better. By the time I showed up for the wedding, I felt like I was in the company of good friends. Here are a few photos from their engagement session. I had too many favorites from their wedding, so here are some of them.
Best Wishes- Katie
