Guitar Hero - Denver Family and Lifestyle Photography

I learned a very important lesson this week.. never stop doing what you love just for the fun of it.  I realized that I had not taken photos just for me.. just for fun.. just to be artistic.. just to be creative, since I can't remember when.  So this week I decided I need a new lens, and not just for a specific job  but because I wanted it for myself.  I decided I would start shooting for fun again, and how much fun I have been having!  I realized again why I fell in love with photography in the first place, and it wasn't to try to fulfill someone else's vision of art, but my own!  And some of the things I've been working on are my favorite I think to date.  I'm so happy to share these photos with you of my muses, my girls, and why I started shooting in the first place.  I wanted to play with light and lenses and angles, and I am so very happy with what I came out with.  My girls started playing guitar about a year ago and are loving it.

Playing with my new favorite lens that I got yesterday and decided my girls were overdue for a quick shot.. I love that their attitude really comes across here

I heart these girls!

Denver State Capitol Building - Denver Commercial Photography

Ok I must confess with three beautiful daughters, a husband, and a crazy busy schedule I am the worst at blogging.  There are so many cool things that I just have not been able to post because my blog becomes the last thing on my list to do.  Well no more I say!  This is the year my blog becomes a priority.
And so..  to start off with my new found resolve I wanted to post some photos I got to take a few weeks back at the Denver State Capitol buildings.  This was another Logic Integration project installing new integrated technologies into the Capitol.  If you don't know who Logic is you can check them out here.. http://www.logicav.net.  They do some pretty cool work, and I am just lucky enough to be able to do their photography and see it!
The beautiful courtroom that you see, I was so enamored with.  It was incredibly beautiful like an ornate Catholic church, but I learned that it was the actual courtroom they used to film the Perry Mason show.  Who knew that was filmed in Denver?  What a fabulous place!

Tom and Joanna Family Session (Denver Family Photography)

Had such a fun time with this family last week, and super happy that there are at least some leaves left on the trees, and you just couldn't have asked for a more beautiful fall day.
These boys are darling, and so are mom dad, it was such a joy to spend the morning with them.

Hailey's Senior Session (Denver Senior Photography)

Let's see.. I think we've had this senior session booked for about 5 years now.. so it's about time!  This was a fun shoot and I love how these turned out and can't wait to show you the rest of them!
Congrats Hailey!!

Chris and Kate (Denver Wedding Photography)

From the vintage style dress and accessories,  to the pies instead of cake, and lawn games instead of dancing, not much about this wedding was traditional, but it was so picture perfect!  I feel like if I could redo my wedding it would look a little something like this.  
I shot an engagement session at Chatfield Botanic Gardens a couple of years ago for the first time and when I saw the red barn I knew I needed to shoot a wedding here, and when Kate said this was the location I was over the moon.  Being from the south I have a special kind of love for barns and most things country, but I had no idea how cute this wedding would be.
Aside from the darling decor though, and the ambiance of the outdoor lights in the evening, it was the people that made this wedding so special.  It's hard to describe really, but everyone was so.. wonderful.. no really! Each and every person there I truly believe mattered deeply to Kate and Chris and they in kind were so happy to be there.  Very genuine and real are the words I would use to describe this incredibly beautiful couple, and I know yours is a love you don't see every day.   Congrats to the two of you, you are beautiful inside and out and it was truly such a pleasure.
