Vail Newborn Photographer - Baby Trip in Gypsum Colorado

Spring is definitely springing, but I wouldn't say it's necessarily sprung around here.  In true spring fashion though, I seem to have a lot of baby sessions on the books and the first one I'm going to share is of Baby Trip.  I had a great time capturing those very cute cheeks and he really took a shining to  laying on the bean bag, which helped with a lot of the shots.  

The black and white shots are coming out with a sepia tone this morning, so I'm going to work on figuring out why.  Hopefully I'll have it figured out for my next post!

Vail Village Family Photos

I'm a little behind on posts, so I'm going to start with some pics from a recent shoot for my friend Brighton and his gorgeous family.  Brighton is an old friend from my days of working on top of Vail Mountain.  He had asked me to capture some photos with his wife Melissa and their children, Thandi and Themba while they were in Vail for a ski trip.  We decided to meet in Vail Village and I have a few regular spots around the village that I like to use for shoots.  Due to all of the ridiculous snowfall we had this winter, all of my regular haunts were completely useless (unless you wanted shots of your family waist deep in snow).  We finally settled on a great little pocket park and got to work on some nice family photos.  However, most Colorado families will tell you that if there's one thing we all love about living here, it's playing outdoors.  Much to Themba's delight, we decided to take some more candid shots, that I feel truly capture what family life is really like up here in the hills.  Here are a few of my favorites.

Beaver Creek Wedding Anniversary - Mike and Kim's 25th Wedding Anniversary

I had a great time capturing Mike and Kim's 25th Wedding Anniversary during their recent trip to Colorado.  We had a great snowfall the day before the shoot, so there was fresh snow everywhere and I loved the contrast of Kim's red jacket against the new snow.  Because the weather was freezing cold, we chose 3 locations in Beaver Creek.  This way we could hop into warm cars between each location and warm up for 5 minutes or so.  I told them they had to go home and tell their children how 'hard core' the photo shoot was.  You can't tell from these images, but at the last location I chose, they were wading through at least 24 inches of snow.  But you'd never be able to tell from their smiling faces!
