Yay! Happy February everyone!! I can't believe we're already this far into 2010 - doesn't it just seem to be flying by? Well, I thought I'd share with you some of the things we've been up to (actually this post is a little over due...)

First is our new ad in the magazine Colorado Wedding Sites & Services, which is an absolutely FABULOUS magazine. I can't even tell you how many times I used it while Eric and I were planning our wedding. It is a great reference. I highly encourage all you Colorado brides to pick up a copy (Barnes & Noble, Borders, King Soopers, etc.) or you can check out their website.

Here's a sneak peek of our ad featuring Bethany, our lovely bride from July!

And now that it's February I think it is finally safe to share our New Year's card with you... my dad told Eric that he looks like "Bagger Vance." :)

Other than that we haven't been up to much... Ok that's a BIG lie :) You'll just have to stay posted to see what Eric & Moriah Photography has in store...

Health Nuts

2010-01-22T15:48:00.006-07:00

Ok, 'Health Nut' may be an exaggeration, however Eric and I have been taking our resolution of healthy living quite seriously. I have to say I am pretty proud of us! I was making dinner last night and had to pull out the camera because it was just so colorful. I ended up taking a few shots this morning when I was making our lovely detoxing 'green drink' for breakfast. Yes. Green. It's intense and a little hard to swallow but loaded with good stuff. We've been juicing it for a while now and I have actually grown to like it. If you can make it through the pictures I've included a recipe at the bottom of this post...

Stir Fry for dinner. We finally pulled out the cool chopsticks from our wedding registry!

Here are the ingredients for green drink...

I wasn't kidding when I said it was green... I like how it matches our logo :)

Still interested? Ok, green drink is made in a juicer. For one serving you will need:

1 Red Delicious Apple

1 Lemon

2 Stalks Kale

2 Stalks Celery

1/2 Head of Lettuce

1 Cup Spinach

Several Slices of Ginger Root

Leave all of the peels on and make sure to rinse your fruits & veggies well. Drink 30 mins before breakfast. Enjoy!

Wow! So much has been happening these last few weeks! I can't believe how busy we've been with the biz. We are making big changes... and can't wait to share with you all. However, it will be a little while before we launch the excitement...

I do have exciting news to share today, though - Eric & I are now both members of PPA - Professional Photographers of America

"The Professional Photographers of America, Inc., a worldwide association, exists to assist its members in achieving their professional, artistic, and fraternal goals; to promote public awareness of the profession; and to advance the making of images in all of its disciplines as an art, a science and a visual recorder of history." (PPA Mission Statement)

Colorado Wedding Photographers - Our Thoughts... "Should I do an Engagement Session?"

2009-12-11T09:58:00.008-07:00

I've had a few brides who were undecided as to whether or not they wanted to do an engagement session and so I thought it was time to post about it! The benefits are definitely plentiful but in the end, the decision is yours and if you feel like it 'just isn't your thing' - then, trust yourself! However, here is a short little post about some of the great reasons to consider booking your engagement session...

First, and I truly believe most importantly, is that an engagement session allows you the chance to get to know your photographer and how s/he works before the stress of your big day. You can see if you truly like their style and if what they produce for you is up to par with what they are displaying on their website. You definitely don't want to be surprised when you get your wedding photos back! Think of it as a "second interview" - you've made it past the initial consultation and now it is time to see your photog in action! I can surely atest to the importance of the e. session from the stand point of the photographer and also being a bride myself.

As a photographer I personally looooove e. sessions! They are so much fun. I get to know my clients so much better with time to ourselves and less pressure of the where to be and when of a wedding day. I never understood how important this was until Eric and I did one session with a potential bride and groom who were so shy and obviously uncomfortable in front of the camera. I was actually thrown off by their bashfulness but by the end everyone was laughing and they were posing like Vouge models instead! It ended up being one of my favorite e. sessions! And I was so glad that all of the camera-shy butterflies were gone by their wedding day because they now felt comfortable with us.

When I was a bride I had so much trouble finding a photographer because... well, I'm a photographer and have very high expectations! We thought that we had found someone who we really liked and we were actually ready to sign a contract when we decided to do an e. session first. Although the photos were wonderful, both Eric and I were so turned of by this particular photogs' dismal work ethic and attitude that we decided to find someone else. We ended up going with Michele, from MMB Photography - The best decision ever! If you would like to see some of our wedding pics on her gorgeous blog click here.

Other than scoping out your potential photog, there are many other great reasons to do an e. session...

Save-The-Dates

Eric & Moriah Photography now offers custom designed save-the-date postcards on our lucious choice of papers! However, if you purchase a disc of images you can even create your own! How much fun! Save-the-dates are so important now, especially with the long engagements that we are seeing. Your guests want to know when they need to be requesting time off from work and purchasing their plane tickets and save-the-dates are a very classy way to clue them in.

Announcements
It used to be that people announced their engagment in the local newspaper with a portrait of the bride-and-groom-to-be. I don't know if a lot of people still do this; we chose not to but I remember going through my mom's hope chest one day to find the clipping of her and my father's engagment from their home newpaper. It was pretty cool! More likely, you will change your facebook status and have a fabulous new gallery of all of your engagment photos!!

Guest Book
Okay, now one of my favorites... custom designed guest books!! I love them. Yes we offer them and we even made one for our own wedding. It is so great to pull out and look at some of our favorite engagement photos along with signatures and kind words signed from friends and family.

Other Uses
I love seeing how our brides and grooms use their engagement photos. One really awesome idea that we got was from Bethany & Reuben and their wedding that we did back in July. They framed a bunch of their favorite e. session pics that we did and had them beautifully displayed with candles on a table to welcome guests to their reception:

Another great use of engagement photos is displaying them on your wedding website. It is a more personal touch that you can share with your guests.

Well, that was me, shedding a little light on the mystery of the e. session :-) If you're interested and would like to see more engagement photography, visit our website, and look at our engagement gallery under our portfolio section.

Colorado Photographers - 30th Anniversary Session

2009-11-17T22:41:00.005-07:00

[Posted by Moriah]

I truly feel blessed when I look at my life and think of how fortunate I am to be able to do what I do and love it so. And I feel even more blessed when I think of all of the incredible people in my life who have helped me get to this place. Somedays I set out on a 'search' for the inspiration that fuels my creative journey and other days I realized that I am overwhelmed by it!

A few weeks ago I did a session for my incredible parents to celebrate their 30th anniversary. These two have been my inspiration from day one, not only encouraging my many artistic endeavors but never doubting me and always proving to me that I have the strength to accomplish anything. They are an incredible example of love and commitment for one another and a true inspiration. Thanks Mom & Dad, Congrats!

Photography is Art. Art is Inspiration. Be our Inspiration.

Baby C & Baby K

2009-10-28T23:49:00.003-06:00

What's better than photographing an absolutely adorable baby on a gorgeous fall day? How about two absolutely adorable babies! Yes, more twins - how lucky are we? This time we photographed baby C & baby K's one year portraits right in their back yard. It was lovely. There was a huge pile of leaves to play in, bails of hay and the light was spectacular!

It's a little strawberry girl...

And a little blueberry girl!

So sweet...

Look at those eyes!

I love it!

Perfect.

Pierce - Senior Portraits {and Keely too!}

2009-10-02T23:20:00.003-06:00

Eric & I had the most wonderful time shooting Pierce's senior session. We tracked around Old Town loving the textures of all of our fun backdrops and loving our new lens!

Pierce is such a stunning model. His twin sister (remember Keely?) walked around with us and helped inspire some wonderful smiles. We attached a bro+sis session after. They were fabulous!

I love the texture here!

Look at that SMILE!

One of my favorites...

What an awesome pair!

This one was their idea... they really wanted to piggy-back. fun fun! I think it turned out great.

Congrats Pierce! You BOTH have bright futures ahead of you. Much thanks.

Keely - Senior Portraits

2009-09-26T02:12:00.005-06:00

I met Keely at the CSU gardens to shoot her senior session a few weeks ago. It was late in the day... we were pushing the envelope for available light but as we all know - that is when the best light happens. It was truly magical!

We were so lucky to have an assistant with us - Keely's dear friend, Kirsten, followed us around, carried wardrobe, and helped me manage Keely's gorgeous and flowing locks! Thanks Kirsten!

I'm so proud of all of her images. I had a hard time choosing a selection for the blog. If you would like to see her whole session it is posted on our facebook page.

This one could quite possibly be my favorite. I'm not sure why, but every time I see it reminds me of a perfume ad in a magazine.

So beautiful!

Look at that gorgeous hair!

Congratulations Keely!

Calling Card

2009-09-23T20:45:00.005-06:00

We've been needing business cards. So many of our clients have asked and I feel a little behind. The truth is, I was being indecisive. I wanted something truly unique and I think I've finally come up with it! I want to share them with you, but first, if you are looking for unique ideas you absolutely must check out this page. What an inspiration!

Well, here is the front of my final design:

Natalie & Lenny - Wedding

2009-09-17T21:50:00.003-06:00

Well, it was one lovely week before our own wedding... what a celebration it was! Natalie and Lenny's wedding was by far the largest we've photographed and the day was one beautiful adventure! We started out in their gorgeous hometown church with quite a crowd and the day seemed to build to a wonderful crescendo (and a huge party!)

Natalie was so calm - and she had plenty of bridesmaids there to help her get ready.

I love this one.

What lovely colors they chose! Eric and I thought that it was a great combo and so flattering on all of their attendants.

I absolutely love the light and the shadows that the cross casts. Beautiful.

I love how vibrant the colors of their whole day were. Everything was bright and cheery.

Beautiful shot from Eric.

Awesome!

And then it was time to party!! I was fortunate enough to get a spot in the Limo along with the WHOLE wedding party!!! This is one of my favorite shots from the day - talk about catching a moment in time!

We took the limo to their small family cemetery where everyone gathered around to honor Lenny's grandparents before going on to the reception. We thought it was a very unique and endearing touch.

This staircase is to-die-for!! The very first time we met with Natalie she talked about her wedding at the Bella Sera and how she wanted a picture with all of her party on the stairs. Well... They almost didn't all fit! There was a lot of stepping on toes and sucking in - I think it was well worth it.... lovely!

The beautiful newly made husband and wife!

While I was having a blast in the limo, Eric went ahead to the Bella Sera to take some of these beautiful detail photos...

I think this is one of my favorite reception shots ever. I love the light (and the hot pink!).

Now, this is a cake!

And they danced the night away! No really - these two could really move. So much fun to watch. We even got to see a little 'Thriller' in the middle of their first dance.

Natalie, Lenny, all of your party as well - you guys were great! What an amazing day. Congratulations on a long and very happy lifetime together.

David - Little One's Portraits

2009-09-11T14:02:00.003-06:00

Well, it's about time we had another little guy on this blog!! Goodness, we have been so busy (definitely not complaining - I loooove this job!). I need to catch up on my blogging...

So here is little David. So adorable and so sweet. He started in his bow tie and hat (that was quite big for him - too cute.). Then we headed to the park to take advantage of the beautiful afternoon. Let me tell you, this little guy was pooped when we were done. What a trooper!

I love this one!

Yep, he's fading on us... too cute!

Mekenna & Zach - Wedding

2009-07-17T03:51:00.006-06:00

We have been so busy with wedding season this year - what a thrill! We were fortunate enough to be asked to photograph Zach & Mekenna's wedding in lovely Cheyenne, Wyoming. It was such a beautiful day. And it was truly a beautiful wedding. Thank you Zach & Mekenna! It was an honor.

The cutest little flower girl! Pink perm rods, how sweet!

Jessica & Nathan - Wedding

2009-06-29T01:33:00.006-06:00

I'm so excited to share this wedding with you! Despite the typical Colorado weather that made us move indoors it was an absolutely beautiful day. The attention to detail was amazing and, I, loving the detail shots like I do, had plenty to capture. Jessica & Nathan, you were a joy to work with - congratulations and thank you for asking us to be a part of your amazing wedding day!

Classic.

We are so excited to announce our new official website. There you can find new galleries, information and more. Please visit us at www.ericandmoriahphotography.com.

Things have been so busy with building our new site, launching our new online ordering system and jumping right into our wedding season that I regret not having the time I would like to blog. However, I promise that great blogs are on their way!

Right now I would like to leave you with a sneak peek of our last photo shoot - Amy's Bridal Portraits - a 'Haute Shot' Session.

Yes, these are our 'Haute Shot' Sessions and we are thrilled to offer them. Please contact us for more information.

Now for the lovely Amy...

Natalie & Lenny - Engagements

2009-04-14T20:10:00.004-06:00

It was a snowy, cold, icy afternoon but you would never know that the temperature was dismal because Natalie and Lenny were positively glowing. We are so looking forward to shooting their wedding in the lovely and very warm month of July - just a week before our own! We snuck down to their church just a few weeks ago to take some test shots and it was so beautiful - I just can't wait to see it all come together! We are so excited!

Segovia

2009-04-11T16:45:00.004-06:00

In January of 2005 I moved to Madrid, Spain... all by myself. No friends, no family. Just an oversized rolling duffle bag with all the personal effects that would get me through the next 5 months. I went equipped with my very first digital camera - the brand new Sony Cybershot with all of its 5.0 megapixels. That was huge then! 5 whole mega pixels!

These were the days before my aspirations of being a professional photographer but none the less, I showed a certain affinity to the art. Well, the visual diary I created with that little camera over those 5 months has laid dormant in a laptop computer that I no longer use. I have no prints or albums... just several folders sitting on the computers desktop. While going through the process of sorting these images I was pleasantly surprised by the spark of artistry I found in my photographs. I knew that I had to share some with you.

While I lived in Madrid for 5 months my new friends and I took many trips around the country. The first was our adventure to Segovia, Spain. What is so incredible about this quaint town is that expansive and towering aqueducts cut through the town like a beautiful highway system. Yes these are the Roman Aqueducts from that golden era so many centuries ago and Segovia's aqueducts are still a marvel to the modern man.

Well here is Segovia through the lens of an original cybershot!

Yes. That's me - the one with the long golden locks...

I just love the design on this building.

Incredible.

Sentiment

2009-03-14T21:24:00.009-06:00

For some reason I began to go through an old folder of photographs from over a year ago. I've spent the last hour or so scouring through old shoots of ours - oh, what we have learned and how far we have come! Finding many beautiful images that had not been featured on the blog, I've decided that they need to be shared now- in petite form...

How cool are these little guys??

So incredibly sweet... ah, love...

This shot was their one request and it took a bit of work on both of our parts to get this pic on the swing. I was so happy when it turned out that I gave them a copy with this quote on it... If you can't see it, it reads:

'To love abundantly

Is to live abundantly,

And to love forever

Is to live forever.'

I loooove this one

Haha... look at the laces!

Hey! Thats me!

Hmmm... I'm seeing a pattern with the feet...

I was so proud when Eric showed me he had captured this one!

Amazing.

Me again. Look at that short hair!

The City of Lights

2009-03-11T19:32:00.004-06:00

As promised I am now ready to share with you a peek into the true genius that is my brother...

Over the last few months Zach has played several pivotal roles to the independent film - 'The City of Lights'. He has been Assistant Director, Editor and is now the Director of Marketing.

I invite you to view his blog and learn of his incredible endeavor and also learn of the film itself. I so look forward to seeing it and hopefully you will be able to be astounded as well.

Here is his blog - The City of Lights

Enjoy!

Chrissy & Zach

2009-03-02T00:38:00.004-07:00

Here is a post that I've been meaning to put up for a long time! As some of you may know from seeing an earlier post of my brother holding his Canon HD video camera that he is a filmmaker. Actually, he is a brilliant film maker. He is a wise old spirit entwined with a young, vibrant, curious mind, body and outlook. If he were not my baby brother I might be intimidated by his genius, but I know that behind that workaholic, perfectionist, persevering exterior is the most amazingly genuine and compassionate soul you could ever meet.

When he came home last summer we all had the pleasure of spending a long weekend with his best friend and college 'Rooooomie,' the lovely Ms. Chrissy. We were so honored when they asked Eric and I to do a Best Friend Session. We only had to walk to the edge of the neighborhood to find this classic playground where we played with the setting light. In only a few moments we had captured these inspiring images.

Well, I hope you enjoy these photographs while Zach is busy creating something truly amazing. Something I can't wait to share with you in the weeks to come. Please check back to find a window to his workings.

Also, one more thing, Zach is available to capture a limited number of weddings through his videography each year. If you are interested please inquire and I will most definitely get you in touch with him.

Enjoy!

The Puppy & The Party

2009-02-24T14:32:00.005-07:00

This last weekend we celebrated my graduation with a fabulous party at my parents' house. Everything was so beautiful. All the decorations were my favorite colors - pink and more pink! The best part was the three tiered pink cake that Eric made for me. It was amazing!

A few days before the big event my mom surprised me by getting my puppy groomed - and quite the hair cut she did get! Her hair almost touched the ground and now it is an inch all around (excuse the rhyme). Well, I absolutely had to take a few shots of her with the pink bow they put in her hair!

The Puppy

The Party!

Beautiful Tulips from Eric's Parents...

My brother made a banner out of these pearly stars - the other side said 'Way to go!' with very impressive drawings of shears, combs and other hair implements!

My mom found this Barbie head that I had asked for when I was a little girl - a good indication that I might grow up to be a hairstylist!! And there is a peek at the gorgeous cake!

Amazing!

Fabulous!

The New Face of Eric & Moriah Photography

2009-02-04T18:58:00.009-07:00

Thank you to all of our loyal E&MP blog followers. You may notice that we’ve made a few changes and enhanced our digital portfolio. ‘Inspired’ is the word we choose to describe our new design. It is contemporary and elegant, like our photography. Likewise, we choose the word ‘Art’ to describe our photography. In this digital era the art of photography is no longer limited to the traditional darkroom post production. As contemporary artists, Eric and I are able to not only edit images but to enhance and intensify an emotion, a movement, and a moment.

Although we have revealed the new face of E&MP the two faces behind the lenses are the same – eager for inspiration. That is where your beautiful visage comes in… we are looking for you to be the New Face of Eric & Moriah Photography. We offer our service for the whole spectrum of human life… from maternity to family portraits, senior portraits, engagements, weddings and everything in between. Contact us for detailed pricing. eandmphotography@gmail.com - or - 970.227.3652

Now, we only find it fitting that our newest E&MP Blog post be our first wedding…

SUSAN & MONTE

How cool that two young, very talented actors get married in a theater! And not just any theater, the Rialto Theater in downtown Loveland. It was an incredible production with many detailed and personalized touches. They even had a wedding program that looked like a program for a Broadway show!

We want to thank the lovely couple for entrusting us to be their wedding photographers for our very first wedding. What a wonderful gift to us! We are so excited for you both with your awesome careers and the start of your life time together. Congratulations!

Now for the photos... and I must say, we are pretty proud of them ;-)

Photography is Art. Art is Inspiration. Be our Inspiration.™

Incredible Theater!

The beautiful bride - she was so calm, it was a wonderful atmosphere, and she got ready in the theater dressing rooms!

Beautiful!

So handsome

Such a touching speech from the Maid Of Honor

Photography is Art. Art is Inspiration. Be our Inspiration.™

Eric & Moriah Photography, Award Nominee

2009-01-25T10:12:00.007-07:00

We want to thank Erin, a former client and fellow blogger herself, for nominating us for the "Spreader of Love" award. We are honored that she thought of us. She has a very cute blog of her family happenings where we can watch her little ones grow. Part of the award is to 'spread the love' and nominate other bloggers. As we don't know any other bloggers I am afraid that we break the chain. I would have happily nominated Erin, but obviously she was a recipient. Please visit her wonderful site, http://brumleyfamily.blogspot.com/ and I am sure you will fall in love with it. Also, you might see some familiar pictures!

On a more personal note, I want to thank Erin who has now become a dear friend to me. She has been so supportive of Eric & Moriah Photography ever since we took her family photos (just scroll down to see 'Nate, Erin, Berea & Dustin's" September Family Portraits). What a lovely and loveing family. Take a peak at her blog and you will know why she is a true "Spreader of Love."

Thanks Erin,

Zach & Mekenna - Engagement

2008-12-11T22:57:00.005-07:00

Eric and I just received the kindest Christmas card from our clients, Zach and Mekenna:

"Eric & Moriah
Thank you so much for being great photographers. We love the pictures we've seen and look forward to doing our wedding pictures.
Thanks a million,
Zach & Mekenna"

Here is more praise we received from them right after they viewed their photos:
"Dear E&M,
We LOVED our pictures. They turned out great. We're so excited. We DEFINETELY want you guys for the wedding."
Here are Zach and Mekenna's lovely autumn engagement photos which they speak so highly of. Enjoy!

Awesome!

That Faith Hill song pops in my head when I look at this one... "Oooh I love the way - you love the way - you love me..."

Check out the BLING on that ring!

This is so cool - Zach is a bridge engineer and together we found this beautiful bridge - a fitting back drop for the beautiful couple!

Seriously?... Did I mention, BEAUTIFUL!

A real fashionista! I wanted her to pay us in shoes!

Beautiful...

Bethany & Reuben

Of the autumnal months, November resonates within me. There is a subtle beauty in the way she provides a gracious transition into the colder, darker days of winter. November brings us a culmination, an opportunity to appreciate those things that seem so fleeting. How apt that we dedicate, in this month, a day of just giving thanks. It is the obvious which we congratulate, health and happiness, but do we remember to say thanks for the precious little things that fill every day with discovery? Sunday, Eric and I discovered, again, the magic of that which we do... capture the magic between two so deeply in love.

Bethany and Reuben's engagement session fell on a beautifully overcast day that highlighted the amazing colors of the season. I am still warmed by the shades of the scenery and even more by the chemistry between the gorgeous couple. Their adoration for one another saturates every picture...

I love this picture! Reuben was constantly thinking up fun poses... and I don't think he knew that I caught him doing this one... but I did! And doesn't Bethany look like she's a model on a runway??

Picture Perfect

Perfect.

October Family Portraits

2008-10-29T10:10:00.003-06:00

A few weeks ago we met Norma and her fabulous family at Fossil Creek Park, here in Fort Collins. We had never been there before but we spend the next couple of hours exploring, and we were quite happy with what we found. The fun backdrops were great but nothing could overshadow the exuberant personalities of these four kids. They were so exciting and fun to work with. I really think we were able to capture their bright spirits!

Nate, Erin, Berea & Dustin...

2008-09-22T11:43:00.004-06:00

A few Sundays ago we got to follow this happy family around downtown Loveland and capture these precious pictures. Mom and dad, Erin and Nate, most definitely passed on their beautiful, vibrant eyes to their children. What a lovely clan. Thanks guys - we had a wonderful time!

Little Berea... what a cutie!

Look at that beautiful family!

Zach

2008-08-07T18:45:00.005-06:00

This summer has gone by so fast! Perhaps the saddest part of the turning season was my brother's departure back to school in Orange County, California. It was wonderful having him here with us. Eric and I love him so very much and we were sad to see him go yesterday but we know he is off to do incredible things! Zach is a film student at Chapman University and a gifted filmmaker he is! We couldn't help but get some shots of him (and his camera too!) the other night.

Marisa & Randy's Engagement

2008-06-26T19:24:00.007-06:00

We hadn't known Marisa and Randy very long before the phrase "made for each other" popped in my head. There was something about the way the held each other, the way they walked together and the way they laughed at each other that was truly breath taking. We met them at their cute home, which is adjacent to an elementary school's playground. We had to take advantage of the gorgeous open spaces and massive trees. Then we met up in old town Fort Collins where we strolled around and found many beautiful backdrops. Marisa, Randy... thanks for spending the afternoon with us. I hope these photographs truly capture your amazing energy.

Marisa had this wonderful, bright... well she wasn't quite sure what it was but it it made a wonderful 'picnic blanket'

Love it.

Eric found this amazing green door...

Like I said... made for each other.

Lovely Amy

2008-05-27T21:18:00.001-06:00

Although we did this shoot back in January I felt that Amy's beautiful face deserved a post. We were so lucky to have such a lovely woman as our model. Her classic beauty is undeniable and her wonderful personality certainly shines through. What a gift! Thanks Amy, you were a joy to photograph.

Meghan, Nick & Tessa

2008-05-26T15:13:00.001-06:00

Earlier this year we got to work with the coolest three kids, Meghan, Nick and Tessa. We played in a field in Severence, Colorado. It was still a little chilly out but they were such good sports. We were able to get some great shots thanks to some bright smily faces and a bouquet of red balloons.

My favorite.

Nadja and Copenhagen

2008-05-26T12:54:00.001-06:00

Moriah met up with her beautiful friend Nadja while visiting Nadja's home town in Denmark.

Little Miss Cecilia

2008-04-29T16:46:00.001-06:00

Just look at that smile! A few weeks ago Eric and I had the delightful opportunity to photograph Little Miss Cecilia. What a doll! A bubbly and cooing baby, she definitely kept us moving. We had so much fun capturing her special little spirit. She reminded me of a cabbage patch doll with her cute dimple, just on one cheek. It was a beautiful day, although I believe we were all 'pushing' the season... ready to wear flip flops and our shades. Even Cecilia was wearing her itty-bitty sandals, and what a wardrobe that girl had! Mom had fun playing dress up with all of Cecilia's precious little dresses. However, nothing was as adorable as her big purple bow.

There's that dimple...

Spring Fever

2008-04-01T14:30:00.002-06:00

Spring is upon us… or so they say. The vernal season is apparently in bloom with the passing of the equinox. However, with the weather we’ve been having it seems these past few days have called for hot chocolate and a cozy fire as opposed to lemonade and one’s hands toiling in a planter box. The snow fallings have found me house bound and anxious for an out of doors excursion minus the wool coat. There was a glow, a ray of light, if you will, that made its way through the clouds the other day. It whispered to me until I picked up my camera and decided to catch it. This time my beautiful mother played the muse. We played around the house and in the barren backyard, which is also waiting for what spring will bring. In the frigid desert that was this Colorado afternoon we captured our little ray of light. And what a metaphor I discovered once I uploaded my photos because I found my most luminous glow to be my mother… for she is one of my true rays of light.

Cassie & St. Baldrick's Day

2008-03-31T16:04:00.002-06:00

Yay! Welcome to our new blog... well there have been some exciting happenings lately. On Saturday Eric and I drove to Estes Park to photograph our lovely friend Cassie. We had a lot of fun, despite the weather. Later that day we volunteered with the St. Baldrick's charity event. This foundation raises money for children affected by cancer. To find out more, please visit www.stbaldricks.org. The whole evening was very exciting. We were part of a captivated audience who watched a performance by a local Irish Dance troupe. There talent was only rivaled by their gorgeous costumes. What a joy to photograph!
