Senior session with Kaylyn

We photographed several seniors for the class of 2009. Occasionally we get a client that really knows what they want, which we love. Because we want you all to have the photographs you've been dreaming of. Below is a video montage of the afternoon we spent with Kaylyn.

Motorcycle Resurrection

I met my friend Abby at a campground in Ouray Colorado the summer of 2007. My motorcycling buddies and I were on a 7 day Colorado motorcycle tour, and SHE was on a 3 week Cross-country USA tour. We had an evening around the campfire and a morning breakfast with her. Apparently we and the Rocky Mountains made an impression, 8 months later she left the north-east and moved to Colorado. As the 2008 riding season was beginning, she was hit from behind by a delivery van, crunching the back of her Harley and sending her over the bars, injuring both hands. Her Bike has been resurrected with improvements and beautiful dark red fade to darker red paint. We did a session to celebrate her bike back in action. The Look-back photograph is a reminder of the incident, though her hands are still a reminder. Now the riding season is winding down and she just had surgery on her left hand. See her online magazine at Biker Chick Magazine and read her blogs at Biker Chick Blog and Abbey's Cross Country Ride .

New West Fest

This summer my son and I attended the New West Fest in Fort Collins, Colorado. A typical local festival with carnival, vendor tents, food, and lots of scheduled live music. We walked among the vendors finding some interesting trinkets and unusual inventions. As I was snapping photographs of people enjoying the festivities, I noticed this little guy laughing and going back and forth through a large water puddle from an earlier rain storm. He was having a great time and his dad was happy to let this puddle entertain his boy for awhile. This days rain was sapping the vendors happiness, but I was happy to come away with this shot.

Gwen's Hands

My wife is very close with her parents though we only get to see them a couple times a year. When they come to visit we're the beneficiary of their effort and interest in a few projects around the house. They came for a bit this summer and the slated home improvements were ready for them. Her dad and I built and placed a long shelf across the top of our son's bedroom. The ladies with her dad re-finished a coffee table my wife found at a second hand store. One of those nice ones with the felt lined drawers and a glass top for viewing the decor in the top drawer. And as always, her mom helped us spruce up the flower gardens. This year I finally made the picture my wife has been asking for. A photograph of her mothers hands doing what she remembers them doing all her life, working the garden. I'm a lucky husband. I get along and enjoy my in-laws. I look forward to their visit this Christmas. The list will be waiting.
