I had a really fun time shooting Pilot, AKA Mister Grumbles, for his first birthday the other day. He’s just learned to walk so he spent the afternoon cruising all over the place with me and my cameras in hot pursuit. We hiked along a trail in Estes for about 20 minutes to get to...

Swimming portraits in Santa Barbara
Things sometimes just fall into place, which is exactly what happened a few days ago while passing through Santa Barbara. I got a phone call from a bride whose wedding I shot a few years ago, and she was wondering if I’d be in Southern California any time soon. For Mother’s Day she wanted me...
Estes Park – Engagement Photography – Tracy and John
Tracy and John are getting married later in the year, so we headed up to Lumpy Ridge and Lilly Lake in Estes Park to shoot their engagement session the other day. I’d just returned from a 6 month trip through New Zealand and Australia, so it was really cool to be home and hang out...
New WPJA Award Winner

They were married at the Abaco Club on Winding Bay, which is perhaps one of the most beautiful beaches anywhere. Anyway, Rudi is starting her own business called Nature Girl Designs making really cool...
Random headshots
It’s always cool to see what graphic designers do to your work once it’s in their hands. Here are two head shots I took recently, and then the resulting pages/ads designed by Andrea Russell at Optasia Graphics. I think she’s pretty good! I was psyched to be able to squeeze in a short corporate head...
New Coastal Woman Cover
So this is kinda neat — Coastal Woman’s new summer 2007 issue features a shot I took a few weeks ago on its cover. An honor! Check it out!
For the camera geeks in the house (hi Dad!) I lit the shot with two off-camera Canon 580 flashes. I didn’t need to break out the bigger...
