Baby Portraits for Emma - Vail, CO.

I had a big day of studio shooting a couple of weeks ago, with 3 newborns and a maternity session. Here's the first shots of Miss Emma. I can't believe how much she's grown since we took these pictures!  She was such a wee champ considering it wasn't the warmest day of the year, and we were having a freak Colorado blizzard that day.  Thanks Emma and I'm sure there's going to be plenty more photos of you in the future!

Vail Soul Music Fest - Gerald Ford Amphitheater - Vail, CO.

The Vail Soul Music Festival is officially returning to Vail in August.  This was a really awesome event last year and we need more locals to attend now!  Most of the attendees were from Denver or further afar. 

Here's a link to some video that I shot at the festival last year, edited by Vail Mountain Video Guru, Satchele Burns.  I don't really shoot video, so it was cool to take a step sideways into the world of videography.  I used Satchele's Canon 7D to shoot the footage and it was my first time using that camera.  I was blown away by the quality of the camera and I'm still considering getting one! 

 



Maggie and Dave's Winter Wedding - Vail, CO.

Maggie was one of the rare brides who has spent plenty of time organizing weddings for other people.  I should know - we worked in Group Sales together for Vail Resorts.  Seeing that Maggie has helped so many other brides make their way down the aisle, it was ironic that she was one of the most laid back brides when it came to her own wedding.  My theory is, the more you relax, the more fun you're going to have!  Maggie's dress was absolutely stunning and the weather was amazing.  The ceremony was at her parent's house with a reception at The Wildflower at the Lodge at Vail.  Here are a few of my favorite pics from their big day.  They're such a cute couple!

Vicki's Maternity Session - Vail, CO.

We didn't have a whole lot of shooting time for Vicki's maternity session, but we managed to get a lot of great shots in the short time that we did have.  I had 2 great factors in the situation - firstly, she was really flexible and didn't mind standing out in the cold and secondly, she's really photogenic!  Here's a few of my favorite shots.

Liz's Maternity Photos - Eagle Vail, CO.

I met Liz pretty much as soon as I landed in America, so she is an extremely special friend to me.  Her husband Rob is also a very dear friend, so I ws really excited to be able to capture the next phase for them - pregnancy!  Our indoor shots went off without a hitch, but the outdoor shots on the Eagle Vail Golf Course lead to some post-holing in the snow.  Thanks for being so game Liz and I hope you didn't have wet socks for the rest of the day!  Here's a few samples from the shoot.

Kim's Maternity Session - Gypsum, CO.

Kim is due with her first child in March, and she was able to model for me on the same day as Anne.  Kim's dog Rocky decided to get in on the action as well and he made a very handsome addition to some of our studio photos.  My dog Beans has been in love with Rocky for a couple of years now, so I have a big ol' soft spot for him and he's going to be great protector and friend for Baby Hood once he/she arrives.  Thanks for being such a willing model Kim!

Anne's Maternity Session - Gypsum, CO

Welcome to the new White Starfish Photography blog!  I'm excited to be able to write about each new photography adventure as it unfolds and I'm going to start with my latest project, which was an amazing maternity session for my friend Anne.  Anne is due with her first child in February, so I needed to get this session done before it was too late! 

Anne was a fabulous model and we all can't wait to meet her little one.
