Kourtney & Jacob

Weddings…..They are on my mind lately for sure. My niece, Kourtney got hitched on Jan. 10th to her beau, Jacob. I photographed their engagement, bridal and finally the wedding. I used to do a wedding every weekend and sometimes 2 so I definitely have photographed my share. Several years ago I decided to concentrate more on other areas of my business so I stopped accepting weddings. (Though I still do lots of engagement and bridal sessions) Things have changed dramatically in wedding photography over the years but there is one thing that stands…….quality matters. I did my research on current trends/styles, etc. in wedding photography and realized that there is ALOT of, well, how do I say it…..BAD and unprofessional work out there. I hope those who have a wedding in their future are extremely careful when selecting a photographer because the results can be sad to say the least. Choose wisely! Ask for references and to view complete weddings – not just a single image from a single wedding. Above all, if it seems too good to be true, it is. Just like other things – usually, you get what you pay for.
My own daughter, Alona, recently got engaged so weddings are really on my mind ALOT. It will be a fun time and I want the memories to be sweet! (and I’m not allowed to be the photographer.!!)kourtney1

Casual or Formal

Once upon a time almost every family that showed up to do a family portrait came in their “Sunday best.” Now it seems more families desire a casual look. Both looks can be appropriate and the outcome is usually quite different. If you are questioning what kind of family photo you want, begin by asking yourself some of the following questions……
*How do I tend to decorate my home?
If you have a very casual home, obviously, an outdoor portrait with casual clothing in colors that coordinate with your home is the best look. If you have more formal areas in which you desire your portrait to be hung, an indoor, dressier look may be the best option.
*Does your family regularly dress up?
If not, a formal portrait wouldn’t represent your family very well.
* How old are your children?
If you have kids under the age of 12, you should probably stick to your favorite option (indoors or outdoors) and avoid doing too much with changes of clothing involved.
*Do you take family photos regularly?
If you do not, then you should choose whichever style you like best and suits your lifestyle the most. If you do take lots of family portraits then you can try something different that you normally do just for variety.

The good news is that we can do any style VERY WELL. We offer in studio, studio garden or location!
Bottom line is that your family portrait should represent your family in a true way. Every family is different, so let your portrait reflect who you are!pec1

Family Portraits

Family portraits are most definitely one of my specialties. I have done thousands through the years and have encountered literally all types of situations. Many of the families I do come back annually so I try to create something a little different each year. It seems that MOST families take their photo Oct. – Dec. so this period of time becomes pretty crazy for me. The fun has begun and the images from this season are better than ever! Family

Classic Photo Shoots

The past few years there has been a fad in photography for unposed, outdoor, natural shots.  While we enjoy and do this type of work, we also specialize in classic photography.  This style will never go out of vogue and is something that truly captures the subject(s) in a way only a piece of artistic work of art can.  This type of image lives for decades and looks incredible on the walls of our clients’ homes.

Durango, Colorado

I fell in love with Colorado this summer while I was there on a baseball trip with my family. There are so many photo ops that I just had to go back. I just returned from another visit and this time the fall color was out. I did a few senior photo sessions as well as lots of landscape photos. The weather was awesome and the sights were unbelievable…0S9A9496artFB
