Bring a jacket. And a thermal. And wind gear. In fact, bring survival gear because it is cold and you may just blow away. On a recent day trip to the Rocky Mountain National Forest near Estes Park we envisioned a nice picnic, a little family oriented hike and some fresh air. What we got were gale force winds and the kind of angry ripping cold that one would expect in the far north.
However, we still enjoyed the trip and came back with some decent shots. More than anything it’s inspiring another trip, perhaps one that includes several days. Oh, the wonderful outdoors.
Whitney and Travis wanted to surprise their parents with portraits this year, so we headed out to a beautiful park in the Denver Tech Center to make some magic. Though the day was a bit chilly and we had to fight watery eyes part of the time, the Fenley kids stayed in great spirits to the end. The proof is in the pudding.

Aren’t they cute!
Coming to the end of our session we came back to a rock scouted earlier. The sun was glowing. Perfect.
And as they started walking back to the cars, this unfolded. One of my favorites.
And this I think says it all. Whitney and Travis were great sports and I loved our time together.
Kevin Baird, proud owner of a boxer named Cassius, recently enjoyed a “doggie-portrait” session with me. Our goal was to capture some action shots of this bousterous boy in action and to, as Kevin stated, “get some of those proud Boxer poses.” We were successful.
Recently I met my aunt (who for much of my life remained a secret) for the first time a couple months ago. Her name is Donna and I love her. To look into her eyes is to see a long past, one that lives in a cloud of secrecy and imagination. She is a link to my biological father, the most tangible one to date. Genealogy is a trip.
A while getting this one up, but just came across a little time lapse I did of a storm blowing in the night of a full moon late May. This is shot with a Nikon D700 with a frame rate of 3 sec0nds. Background music by Radiohead.
