Anniversary in the Rockies

gnphoto — Wed, 14 Jul 2010 01:43:23 +0000

I had the privelege of photographing a family reunion over the Independence Day weekend at which they were celebrating the parents’ 60th wedding anniversary. Talk about an accomplishment worthy of celebrating! It was a beautiful day in the Roaring Fork Valley, and a great day to be a photographer. It was a pleasure to shoot their family portraits, and help them commemorate their anniversary. I enjoyed getting downvalley from Aspen to meet at the scenic River Valley Ranch in Carbondale, CO. We took some shots near the golf course and historic barn.

60 years and counting!

A scenic location for a family portrait.

Adoring grandparents, adorable grandchildren.

The rising generation.

Mt. Sopris has nothing on this strong, beuatiful family.

This young woman recently updated her headshots for her star turn at Theatre Aspen. Appearing in “The True Story of the Three Little Pigs”, the family show at Aspen, Colorado’s professional theatre, Theatre Aspen, she was also featured in “Seussical” in a prior season. Here are a few shots from the outdoor headshot session.

The Princess Bride – Bridal Portraits

This lovely bride chose this castle for her bridal portraits. While the color photos were quite good, this set is in black and white, emphasizing the contrast of the old stone, the morning sunlight, and the bride’s beautiful wedding dress.

Aspen Textures

One of the cool things about living in the Rocky Mountains is the infinite variety of textures. In addition to the naturally occuring textures of aspen trees, clouds, and rock, there are manmade textures such as buildings, fences, or lights. Combine those with the changes of weather and seasons, and you have a nearly endless sea of textures, even as close as your own back yard. The Roaring Fork Valley, from Aspen through Basalt and Carbondale to Glenwood Springs, is an amazing place to take pictures. I hope to have a bunch more to post over the next few weeks and months. Stay tuned.

Settling in in Aspen, CO

Actually, I’m living in Basalt, CO, a few miles down the road from Aspen, but I work in Aspen. Our family is settling in: the older girls are in school, the younger ones are enjoying the time alone at home with their mom, and taking advantage of the nearby parks.

If course there are heaps of photographic opportunities in Aspen and the Roaring Fork Valley, so stay tuned, especially to my facebook page for photo updates. I look forward to serving the photography needs of the wonderful people of this beautiful part of the world.

I am grateful to have been able to serve the good people of Waco. I will still have archives of your photoshoots, so if you need reprints simply send an email and I will be able to help you.

Again, thank you and God Bless.

Family Portait Shoot

gnphoto — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 22:25:14 +0000

I recently photographed this family with their two young sons. The older boy loved to pose for the camera; the younger one was a little harder to catch looking at the camera! But I kept snapping away and came up with some good ones.

Building a bridge of love

This couple’s wedding is coming up soon, and they chose to have their engagement portraits taken near the historic suspension bridge in downtown Waco. Of the many talented and skilled photographers in Waco, I was lucky enough to get the opportunity to photograph this young couple as they set out on a new life together. I wish them all the best from their wedding and beyond.

Beautiful Bride

This was a fun Bridal Portrait shoot at the Christian Life Church just south of Waco, and then the Carleen Bright Arboretum in Woodway, just a couple weeks before her wedding.

Amy was so excited to be in her dress, and to be thinking about her imminent wedding that no one could stop her from smiling even if they tried.

Fortunately, the roses were in full bloom at the Carleen Bright Arboretum, and made a wonderful backdrop for these beautiful bridal portraits.

Of course, she was equally (if not more) radiant at her wedding.

We had a little rain, but otherwise the weather was good to us.
