<br />
So you want to get married in the winter? In the bleak, cold months of the year with no leaves and no warmth and no birds chirping in the trees? Well, first of all, I salute you. If you're getting married in the winter, you're probably an against-the-grain, march to your own drummer kind of person, and that's something I like. Or maybe there's another reason, like deployment or job situations or little ones. Whatever the reason, I hope this blog can make it less daunting and more appealing, as I've photographed enough winter weddings now to have stockpiled a few do's and don'ts. One thing's for sure: Winter weddings can actually be fun! So get excited, cause here we go:<br />
<br />
<b>1. Think about the space.</b> Especially the spaces that have 4 walls around them. Most wedding parties can be up for a few outdoor shots when it's below freezing, but it's best to have at least 2-3 places in mind that would be fun for indoor photos. Think of places with architecture you enjoy, good natural lighting (read: windows! skylights!), appealing art on the walls (nudes aren't perhaps the best backdrop for wedding photos), interesting sculptures, fountains, etc. If it's around Christmastime and you'd like to incorporate some decorations that you didn't have to buy or make yourself, think about doing photos in a nice hotel that's already done the hard work for you. One couple asked a local candy store if we could photograph inside their Wonka-esque space, and those photos are some of my favorites. Whatever the space, though, make sure you find out if taking photos there is alright with the owners/management. And by all means (even though people are more lenient on ladies in wedding gowns): get permission!<br />

<br />
<b>2. Think about the color.</b> With the aforementioned lack of leaves on trees and the grass not so green (on either side), infusing color into your photos is a great idea. Props can make this easy, and in these photos below you can see what a difference some pink balloons and red straws/Izze drinks can make in the otherwise bleak background. Props are also a fun way to incorporate any inside jokes you share with
your spouse-to-be, as I've had one couple use some very colorful rock
climbing ropes in their photos because that's something they love to do
together. If you have a membership to a botanical garden, this is a great option
as they usually have both color and indoor/outdoor options. Just know that the great outdoors don't have to be off limits altogether in the bleak mid-winter if you can incorporate color. It's like having pictures in Oz versus pictures in Kansas :)<br />

<b>3. Think about the temperature.</b> Summer weddings are the dream for girls because we get to prance around in sleeveless dresses and soak in the sun. Winter weddings... not so much. And as much as your bridesmaids love you and are honored to be standing with you on this glorious day, they will probably love you even more if you don't turn them into icicles by parading them all over town without said sleeves on this glorious day! I've seen lots of creative ways to accommodate this dilemma, from shooting more indoors (like I've already mentioned), to buying matching scarves as a bridesmaids' gift, to thermoses full of hot beverages waiting on hand. And brides, don't forget about yourself either. A simple shawl can be both a classy and utilitarian way to combat your own frostbite. And, of course, that man of yours should be offering you his jacket anyways ;) A recent wedding I shot in Louisiana had a hot chocolate bar at the reception, and that was definitely a crowd pleaser. But, I have to say, my favorite way to combat the cold (that never fails) is a good old fashioned dance party! So, don't be afraid to bust a move, and know that you don't even have to wait til the reception to do so :) <br />

I won't waste too much time typing this blog. I made an umbrella tree this Christmas, alongside my very supportive roommate. We want to get it pinned. Not in any formal ceremony, but in the ceremonial way of Pinterest. The problem? I have no Pinterest. This is usually surprising to people (which is fine), but I already have a whole slew of things that suck my life and time away and I was just trying to avoid having one more. My roommate and I have one goal of living together, though, and that's to go viral, and we realize that Pinterest is just the place for this handcrafted gem. So I'm just posting this so people can repost it to Pinterest (read: all the people I've lovingly coerced into doing so). So here's my photo. I don't know if it's Pinterest worthy, but if you read this and care to help me and Caitlin reach our dreams, let the pinning begin :)<br />

<br />
<br />
The fact that we were able to do this photo shoot is basically a miracle. It was scheduled during the week of what would become the worst flooding in Colorado history. Highways were destroyed, homes were washed away, lives were lost. And here in Colorado Springs, the rains came down and the floods came up, too! Leading up to the Friday of the photo shoot, I just kept my fingers crossed and hoped for the best because I'd been majorly looking forward to it! Thankfully, the weather did exactly what we needed it to. <br />
<br />
Rebekah and Emily (the high school seniors who are the lovely subjects of this shoot) have become near and dear to me in a very short amount of time! They are identical twins. They grew up in Italy from age 3-17, so they are not only bilingual but they also have a super cute Italian accent to their English :) And they make me both laugh <i>and</i> think a LOT. They're pretty wonderful. <br />
<br />
The first part of the shoot was in an open space right across the street from where I live; I've been wanting to photograph there for a while. But of course I couldn't just do a "normal" shoot up there; I had to suggest we haul a recliner to the top of the hill! (which is where the fire ants come in) I didn't realize how heavy a recliner becomes as one has to cross a street and climb a Colorado hill with it. Let's just say it took the place of my Jillian Michaels' workout that day. Then, we were so tired when we got to the top that we kinda set the chair down wherever, and that "wherever" just happened to be on top of a large fire ant hill. So my thighs were burning the remainder of the shoot until I fell asleep that night... and not from climbing the hill! I think I was bit at least 5 times. Did you know those little buggers have VENOM?! <br />
<br />
In other news, I recently discovered a photo technique called steel wool photography, and these 2 were the perfect candidates to do a test run with! This part of the shoot involved lots of things including, but not limited to a whisk, steel wool, a camelbak tube, 2 tripods, a headlamp, a 9 volt battery, and a cave! They were such great sports, even though being up on Gold Camp Road in a cave on Friday the 13th was a little spooky at first. When Emily took her turn on cave duty, she sang Brandi Carlile at the top of her lungs the entire time. I thought she was just being funny, but when we got back to the car she told us she sings when she's scared :) At any rate, it was a very eventful shoot and they are such beautiful girls (inside & out), so I hope you enjoy the pictures!<br />

<br />
This summer has been a combination of things that I love: traveling to beautiful places,
telling stories through photos, and being with wonderful people! I feel so
blessed to have set my eyes on some of the places I've visited this
wedding season. From the gardens of England, to the beaches of the Gulf
of Mexico to an Indian wedding near Aspen, to the wildflower ridden
hills of Crested Butte, this summer has rocked my world! Not only were
these places lovely, but these people also... some of them have been
my dear friends for years and some I've only just met, but I had a
genuine blast at each one of these sacred events.<br />
<br />
At
the last wedding, I received one of the greatest compliments of my life.
Before I get to that, there's one thing you should know about me: I
LOVE to dance. I've even had friends tell me I should market myself as
The Dancing Photographer. So I was dancing to some hip hop in between
photo ops with these lovely Indian women (and with the bride's
permission, of course), and one of them came up to me at the end of the
night with her lovely accent and said, "Ohhh, Allison, watching you
dance is like watching Cirque de Soleil." Speechless. So many emotions.
Could've died happy... as long as she meant it as a good thing :) <br />

Let me tell you something about my best friends in the world, dear reader. They are FUNny. I'm talking clever, I'm talking witty, I'm talking inappropriate in all the best ways possible. The point is: I love these people. They're some of the best ones I've ever known. I had the chance to do a photo shoot with not one, but both of them last summer. Yep, <i>last</i> summer. Almost a year ago and I'm just now posting it (throwing up the guilt trip wall now for my own protection). One of my best friends is a fellow {amazing!} photographer but lives in Tennessee (<a href="http://www.byshea.com/">www.byshea.com</a>), so we like to team up whenever possible, and the other one is ... pregnant (among other things). Well, she was last summer, anyways. She now has a beautiful, playful, and chubby little boy named Garrett that we all love. But before we knew Garrett, we had this photo shoot and had a lot of fun in Knoxville around dusk at a little park. And since these are my BFF's, I know they'll forgive me for all the funny outtake pictures I'm about to post AND for taking almost a year to post them. Right, guys? :) <br />

I pulled a twofer this weekend, a first time for me. Two weddings,
one weekend. I stood in my best friend's wedding in Tennessee (well she
let us sit, actually, which was awesome) on Saturday evening, and then
photographed my cousin's wedding near Atlanta the very next day! Thank
God for adrenaline and dancing :)<br />
<br />
My best friend,
Shea, has 2 sisters and my cousin, Tiffany, has 3. I couldn't help but
notice how special the bond was between all of these beautiful women and
how much more meaning their sisterhood seemed to bring to the BIG day.
So many girls! So much emotion! :) <br />
<br />
These are some
snapshots I loved: Shea, Sara, and Lindsey and their sister slumber
party the night before. The 3 of them trotting around wedding morning in
their matching monogrammed oxfords. Shea giving her sisters their
wedding gift out on the porch swing and crying together (a ring with 3
small bands all connected). Then laughing at themselves crying. All of
us eavesdroppers copying them and doing the same! The way they can be
serious and look like super models and then turn around and be totally
goofy and ridiculous together, whether it's acting out the Elephant Love
Medley from Moulin Rouge or reading Shea's journal in their
wedding toast to everyone... <br />
<br />
And then there's
Tiffany and her funky bunch of sisters. They have all been through so
much together and it's so evident. When it comes to being there for each
other, there is no question. No one's going anywhere and everyone has
everyone else's back. And when they're upset with each other, it doesn't
last ... even if it was one of your sisters that forgot to bring the
wedding ring to the ceremony for you to put on your groom!<br />
<br />
The specialness of the sisterhood was just something that lingered in my mind throughout the weekend
and into the rest of this week. I've had the privilege of knowing all
of these people for many years, and I know their bond hasn't always been
like this. When you're younger, things like borrowed clothes and messy
bathrooms can keep you from realizing how much you really enjoy and care
about a person. Maybe that's why it was all so special to me – to see
the growth and beauty that comes with age, to see how much we learn to
care about things that matter as time goes on. I hope I will do the
same. And I wish I'd grown up with sisters like that!<br />

First of all, high schoolers are just plain awesome. Especially the senior variety of high schooler, because they know it's near the end! They also are just full of life and fun to be around, which is exactly how I would describe this beauty here. Sarah was so natural in front of that camera; the girl does NOT take a bad picture. You would've guessed she'd done more modeling than she had diving at soccer balls, which is another thing I love about high schoolers: they're surprising!<br />
<br />
Sarah also has this great sense of humor, which made for a good time when things got chaotic around us at Helen Hunt Falls. We're just minding our own business, trying to take pictures, change clothes (her), change lenses (me), and capture the moments... when all of a sudden, I see this kinda shady character of a man trying to pry open the windows that are nailed shut (always have been, as long as I've been going to the Falls) on the little hut there. Then he starts wandering our way... asking for a water bottle. I give him an almost empty one from my car. He thanks me repeatedly, then starts yelling "And I'm stuck here, and it's YOUR FAULT" while pointing at another shady character, his lady friend sitting a few feet away. He continues to yell, while we duck behind the hut into the nice greenery for some more shots. As she's sitting there, we continue to hear the shady characters continue on into a full blown domestic dispute, while on the other side of us a family (?) of about 12 people walk up and start rehearsing for a lesbian wedding. The officiant was probably my favorite, with his braided gray ponytail yelling about how he needed to stand in a certain spot cause it was his "good side." At this point, Sarah and I have lost it laughing, but I think her mom was genuinely ready to call the cops in for the disturbance from our shady friends. "They call this a Code 13 at my work," she said, "and if I had cell phone service I think I'd let someone know!" <br />
<br />
But I shot on, cause that's what a good photographer does :)<br />
And Sarah looks great, cause, well... like I mentioned before, she doesn't take bad photos. And when there's a great story to go with your great photos, well... you can't beat that with a stick!<br />

(me neither)I just wanted to tell this quick story of what happened for 5 minutes one day when I was in Italy, because it was one of the greatest 5 minutes of my trip! (and a lot can happen in 5 minutes in Europe)<br />
<br />
I was in Verona with two Italian friends, and Fabiano loves to go in every church we pass by (keep in mind Italy has Catholic churches like Tennessee has Baptist ones, so this was quickly becoming a very involved pasttime). We went into this particular one, and my devout Catholic Italian friends did their genuflect routine as they entered the church (the whole bow down, cross themselves, throw in a kiss at some point thing). Normally, I just walk in like a normal person, since I'm not Catholic and don't feel the need to pretend about it.<br />
<br />
But this time was different.<br />
<br />
I watched my friends do their bit like usual as we walked in and was prepared to just do my "hey I'm a Protestant" thing, but I glanced to my left and saw that the priest was a foot in front of me! Now, I'm not scared of priests or anything, but for some reason I immediately started to have a mini panic, thinking "Oh no, he's right there and I'm with these people who just genuflected and I don't know how it works but he probably expects me to do it, too, and will think I'm a bad person if I don't and I'm not a bad person and I really do like Jesus, so I should try!" So, before I knew it, I was taking a stab at remembering the order of everything, crossing myself (I'm pretty great at this one, thanks to my dear Catholic roommate) and doing an unsure little half bow... the kissing part was totally lost on me. But, I think <i>perhaps it's enough</i>.<br />
<br />
And then the priest comes over and starts speaking to me, in Italian of course, and making gestures towards the door. <i>He wants me to leave</i>,
I think! I am a failure at genuflecting and he wants me to exit the
premises. This is unfortunate! So, I get very flustered and summon for my
other friend, trying to tell her what I think he said. "Oh no," she
says, "He only wants to know if it's still raining outside."<br />
<br />
Whoops :) We spoke with him for a while
after, too. Fabiano told him I was from Colorado, and he asked to give
me a blessing, which I totally accepted and felt awesome about. Turns
out he's 93 years old! What a stud! So we took pictures, chatted for a
bit– well, <i>they</i> chatted for a bit–and then we left.<br />
<br />
Moral of the story? Priests are nice people. Chances are they don't want you to leave :) <br />

The events I get to photograph for them are some of my most favorite memories, and they always remind me how much I LOVE MY JOB! This event was no different, of course. This was a press conference held for COPPeR to announce the arrival of the <a href="http://www.peakartsfund.org/peakartscard" target="_blank">Peak Arts Card</a> at Kirkpatrick Bank in downtown COS. This is an ingenious idea for our community–for the extremely reasonable price of $60, you can make a difference in the arts community in Colorado Springs and get discounts at all kinds of places. These kinds of places include but aren't limited to: Nosh (best sweet potato fries and sangrias in the country; believe me, I've tested it!), Jose Muldoon's, COS Youth Symphony, COS Philharmonic performances, <a href="http://imaginationcelebration.org/" target="_blank">Imagination Celebration</a> (a fabulous organization I used to work for), Opera Theater of the Rockies performances, Tri-Lakes Center for the Arts, and UCCS Theatreworks. What a treat for all! COPPeR sincerely does such incredible things for our artist community here in Colorado Springs, and this is just another shining example! I hope if you live in this area you'll consider purchasing one of these lovely Peak Arts Cards. Did I mention they're tax deductible? Well, lucky day for you–they are! Can't take it anymore and gotta get one? Go to this website right here, and you can be one of the cool kids: http://www.peakartsfund.org/peakartscard<br />

Now I know, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that Eagle Lake is beautiful at all times. This photo shoot took place at <a href="http://www.eaglelake.org/" target="_blank">Eagle Lake Camp</a>,
which is the main reason I moved to Colorado in the first place.
Although, I'm used to seeing it with piercing blue skies, killer
sunshine, green aspens that sound like they're clapping when the wind
rolls through, and kids in shorts running around everywhere having the
time of their lives. But I like this Eagle Lake, too...<br />
<br />
Peaceful.
Serene. Quiet. Magical. Not to mention the family I was asked to
photograph are some of the most hardcore people I know! Lynn and Sharon
live up at camp year round and keep the place running. Lynn can operate
backhoes, chainsaws, and tractors, not to mention he can kill bears (and
probably even fictional wild animals) with only a bow & arrow. Some
say he was born with it; most say he's actually Chuck Norris. But at
any rate, it was a special day (snowstorm ensuing and all!) with a very
special family, and I was honored to be part of this special day! Thanks
to Sharon for supplying the hot cider during this event :) <br />

I love photographing the Manitou Springs High School cheerleaders! I love 'em. All that energy, all those smiles and pep, and all that TALENT. And by talent, I mean that my girls are COLORADO STATE CHAMPIONS for cheerleading, and I'm proud to say I'm their official photographer :) In fact, I get to do their state champion photo shoot this week, and I'm a) honored b) so pumped 'cause these girls are so fun and work so hard and c) ecstatic because I'm gonna have one of my photos blown up HUGE on the gym wall at MSHS! Everyone wins... but a special shout-out to my Mustang Cheerleading squad for making it all the way to the top. 5-6-7-8!<br />

<br />
I was so pumped to shoot this wedding, and for so many reasons. One,
Seth has been a dear friend of mine for a long time now, and, as I've
said before I just LOVE shooting people's weddings that I know. It's
what I call extra special. Two, Seth and Mackensie are both super hip
and creative, so it put a little pep in my step to know that they chose <i>me</i>
to capture this glorious day. Third, I bought the camera of my dreams
and some a-MAZ-ing lighting equipment just before this wedding (which
means that I was like a kid on Christmas morning shooting this wedding).
And fourth, I LOVE Fort Collins and am always looking for an excuse to
go there. Win, win, win, win :)<br />
<br />
You can tell how
special this couple is by how great all the people at the wedding were
and how much they love them! The excitement that day was pretty
contagious, and the wedding party was a blast (all 18 of them!).
Shooting with my new camera was just ... ... ahhhhh. It's nice to
finally have equipment that matches and can execute the ideas in my head
exactly how I want them! I want to kiss it, and I wish I had bought it
sooner. Anyways, Seth and Mackensie, it was a treat to share this day
with you; thanks for choosing me!<br />

<b>Once in a blue moon, your passions can combine... and there is much rejoicing! </b><br />
<br />
I
have been leading a Bible study with some local high school students
for almost 3 years now. We started meeting when they were 15, and now
they are about to graduate! We have walked through so much the past few
years(as you can imagine), and I have seen them become a real community
to each other. I feel so honored to have been able to be an innocent
bystander, getting to watch all the growth and discomfort and growing
pains and beauty. I <b>love</b> these girls! One of them had this hair-brained idea
to take a mission trip together after they graduated... and now here we
are... making it happen :)<br />
<br />
I smile from ear to ear
thinking about the possibility of this, about how much fun we're going
to have raising money and making plans and learning a new culture
together. Doors opened up for us to go to Kenya, and we are just
bursting with fruit flavor about that. I have been wanting to go to
Africa ever since I saw the film Invisible Children in 2006, so this has been a long time coming! I can't think of anyone I'd rather experience this with. <br />
<br />
But
on to the part where the dreams come together... We need money! We need
plane tickets and immunizations and passports and lodging and lots of
other things I may have not thought of yet! So, I thought about a friend
I have in Nashville who does these <a href="http://photofundayblog.blogspot.com/">PhotoFunDays</a>
and how much fun she seems to have with them. The idea is that you just
set up photo shop for one whole day and book appointments all day long
in 20-30 minute increments. It's a flat rate for the sitting fee + disc
of 5-12 photos, and it's a great deal for the photographer and the
client! What better way to combine my favorite things than a
PhotoPalooza of my very own?!? :) So, it's happening. November 19th
from 10-5. The photo below should give a good idea of what to expect and
how to sign up, but you can email Hannah at photopalooza13@gmail.com
for more info as well. Here's to the best of both worlds!<br />

I'm so glad I gave the photo booth a chance because I had a TON of fun with it, and it gave me a chance to actually interact with guests (which can be difficult to find time for, usually)! I loved it. I just got some new lighting that I desperately needed– Elinchrom BRX for those who care about that kinda thing– and it worked like a dream. A dream, I tell ya. I will most definitely be offering this service in the future because it is a heap of laughter, creativity, and a very unique way to remember who was at your wedding!<br />
<br />
<b>And before I forget, I need YOUR HELP!</b> That's right. You there, with the face. Can you help me? It's pretty important to come up with some clever name for my lil' photo booth. I used the name Stellar Booth at Seth + Mackensie's wedding, but I'm really open to suggestions! Please comment with any ideas you may have. (note: "The Cockpit" has already been ruled out) :)<br />
<br />
**The entire album of "Stellar Booth" shots can be seen <a href="http://stellarpropeller.zenfolio.com/p777846949">here (click here). </a>Seth + Mackensie wanted these photos to be a gift to you, so you are free to download and use these on facebook and such. <br />

There are so many experiences in life that are just beyond explanation because of their magnitude and meaning to me that I can never do justice in describing them. Good thing I'm a photographer and not a writer :) So, instead of blabbering on and trying to make beautiful words about this trip I was able to take to the Grand Canyon recently (my FIRST TIME!), I'll just include an excerpt from a letter a wrote to the friend who went with me: <br />
<br />
<i>I went to church this morning, and until the worship started, I don't think I had stopped yet to really think about all that our little trip meant to me. But once that music began and I was able to pause and think of all the reasons I had to praise God this morning, I started crying uncontrollably. That trip, and especially that time with you, was an absolute gift, Claire. The more time I spend thinking about it, the less I'm able to put into words what it meant to me. I'm starting to think there just aren't words for that kinda thing. Words to describe the raw beauty, the gift of an oasis in the desert, the redemption of Arizona, the rescue of a Perfect Father, the joy of prayer with a sweet friend, the freedom of skinnydipping in water that's clear blue, the purity of baptism under a waterfall, the satisfaction of trudging through a desert to arrive in paradise, the peace of knowing that the very God who made that canyon cares deeply for us and has our best interest in mind, the euphoria of swimming in waterfalls and sleeping under stars, and most of all... the joy it is to share all of this with a friend, especially a friend who has come to mean so much to me over the years. </i><br />
<br />
Oh, and of course I'm including photos to capture the journey (since I'm better at that anyways!): <br />

Christopher Cross lied to me. His song "Sailing" is, as my Uncle Cam puts it, "The most serene song ever recorded." This can lead one to believe that sailing is a purely serene experience. Ha. I wanted to believe it, but now... I know the truth. You can call off the hoax, Chris Cross. I know what really goes on out there. Or, perhaps he wrote about sailing while he was on a pond. The ocean + sailing, I have learned, is not quite like I was led to believe through this amazing song I have listened to on repeat for hours at a time. </div>

In May, I got an email from my friend Brianna, saying that she wanted me to road trip to FL with her, go sailing with her fiance and his friend for a few days, and buy me a plane ticket home. Now Brianna is fun enough without all these bells and whistles, but this was definitely an offer I couldn't refuse (especially since I've been wanting to go sailing for a couple of years now and had never been!) In fact, my response to her invitation was probably something like "Duh." I have to say, the first few days of sailing were incredible (I mean, except for the dern engine). In fact, all of it–except for the last few hours and then the few hours in between when my neck went out– was incredible. I was lovin' it. Then, our faulty engine + lack of radio response for help + 8 ft swells of waves + terrible winds + the fact that it was nighttime... well... it 'turned the tide' for us a bit. Our glorious sailing-into-the-sunset-freedom-ride turned into a 4-hour Disney water ride from hell. BUT, before that, I was able to shoot some engagement pics for Bri + Josiah, which was... trickier than I thought! Taking pics while the waves are ... waving (?) ... is a bit of a daunting task! But they turned out okay, and we all came out of the trip alive, and below you can see pics of us having fun before we figured out CC was a liar. </div>

I stopped crying at weddings a while back... I think. I could be wrong, though, because if crying was an Olympic sport, let's just say I would bring great honor to my country! All I know is that when sweet Ally stepped out of that limo in her beautiful dress with her beautiful self, there was no stopping it. I had to cry all over myself. And I wasn't the only one! Her Dad, who's kept it all "together" during wedding planning, rehearsals, and everything, finally broke down in the middle of the ceremony ... which only made it harder for everyone else to keep composure! This wedding, like many, is bittersweet. Everything about Ally & Greg is lovely and perfect, except that they moved to Georgia the next day and will be moving to MN after that. Where is the justice? :) They are truly an incredible couple, though, with hearts to live their lives for something bigger than themselves and a desire to do that as a team. Pretty rare for a couple of 20-year-olds! We raise our glasses to them, though... glasses of sparkling apple cider, of course :)<br />
<br />
[ally + greg, i love you!]<br />

Enthusiastic people who want to make a difference. Kids who are super cute (most of the time!) and whose lives will be changed forever. Justin Beiber backpacks. Little black shoes and khakis. Raised hands. Freshly sharpened pencils. The smell of people making a difference! And me – just creeping in the background as a photojournalist. I love it! I love just capturing moments as they happen instead of having to create them. I love getting a pass into places that are otherwise off limits for your average citizen. Heck, even the board members and parents weren't allowed inside these school walls this first week! And there I was, camera in hand like a VIP pass. <br />
<br />
These photos are all from the historic first days of school at <a href="http://uprepschool.org/">University Prep</a> in Denver, a school that believes in taking minority/underprivileged children and believing in & educating them all the way to college. In fact, if a child speaks softly in the Kindergarten class to answer a question, they will be told "Use your college voice." And the principal stands out front to greet and shake hands with each student every morning. I love it. I love what they're doing here at U Prep. A big thanks to them for letting me be a part of this, and a big shout out to Katie Skattebo for putting in a good word for me :) <br />

You know, double your fun? Taking senior pictures with 2 best friends is something I would like to do more of! These 2 crazy, beautiful, spontaneous, loving, unique, and FUN girls are very dear to my heart. I met them both before they were going into 9th grade, so it's hard to believe they're already about to graduate and move on to bigger and better things! I loved getting to photograph them together on this shoot because they have this wild, untamed energy around each other (which isn't great for trying to get "serious" photos!) that made it possible to bring out all kinds of personality in the shoot. I hope I get to do more Doublemint shoots in the future, because it was a blast. And just look at them?! Aren't they beautiful?? I'm going to have to bring a box of tissues to this graduation... </div><br />

No, ma'am. It's a party.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I have been to a LOT of weddings by now, and I can honestly say that I've never been to one quite like this. Celebration is an understatement! Ann & Larry told me at our initial meeting that they simply wanted to have one big party with their best friends, and all I have to say is: Mission accomplished! Pre-wedding cocktail hour, post-wedding cocktail hour, dancing, delicious dinner, and a Star Wars theme to boot! I could shoot weddings like this all day long :) There were a few things I had never seen before: broach boquet (SO cool), Princess Leia & Luke Skywalker cake topper (which were actually Larry's childhood toys), and an absolutely stress-free bride and groom! I was honored to be part of this celebration, and I hope more couples will consider the pre-wedding cocktail hour ;) Congratulations, Ann & Larry– I really wish you all the best! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">** This wedding and reception all took place at <a href="http://www.springsorleans.com/">Springs Orleans</a> restaurant downtown, and I'm happy to report that the food was DELICIOUS and the staff was very kind and helpful! It's worth a visit. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

They do so many wonderful things in our community by keeping arts organizations connected and by hosting <a href="http://peakradar.com/">PeakRadar.com</a>, which is a website that will tell you all things artsy going on in Colorado Springs. They are awesome! But what I also love are the events I am privvy to because of my relationship with them. They are always so fun to shoot! <br />
<br />
This 4th of July, they asked me to photograph the COS Philharmonic performing at the US Air Force Academy before the big fireworks show. I was not aware before the event that I would need some sort of special pass to get onto the field, so luckily I ran into Roslyn Block of the Philharmonic who graciously gave me her extra performers' pass. Next thing I knew I was down on the football field and climbing onto the side of the stage getting to play with my new 85 mm lens (that I'm in love with)! My wonderful roommates tagged along for this event, which was SO fun, so I'll have to include some shots of them enjoying the fireworks :) If you're looking for something to do next 4th, I highly recommend this event– great music, a little dancing, kids painted red, white, & blue, and a breathtaking fireworks display! (just don't try to bring in a water bottle that's already been opened... or your own cooler... or snacks... or weapons... or fireworks... or puppies... *sigh*)<br />

You know why? Because this family has almost all of them! I have known one of the couples from this shoot for a long time and find them to be some of the funniest people I know. It turns out that the apple doesn't fall far from the tree...<br />
<br />
Everyone did such a good job hanging out in the heat for a couple of hours– even baby Piper, who's still weighing in at under a year old. Speaking of Piper, she got to taste her very first lollipop on this shoot, and it's pretty clear that she's a fan of sugar! (she cried when they took it away from her; at least we documented her enjoyment first) Anyways, everyone was such a good sport and we fought the direct sunlight as best we could. All in all, a fun shoot with some even fun-er people :)<br />

My dear friend Mariah joined me on this wedding adventure–2 days in the car to get to Wisconsin for the wedding of our friends, Katie and Max, 2 days in Wisconsin for the wedding, and 2 days in the car driving home! (good thing we get along well and both like audiobooks!)<br />
<br />
If you've never been to Wisconsin, I recommend it! And if you've never driven there, Mariah recommends it! (she's likes those wide reaching plains and farms and cows). We stopped at the REAL Field of Dreams where they filmed the movie, which I found to be really amazing. We saw some wonderful old friends along the way. And once we arrived in Wisconsin, we had 1 whole day to relax before the wedding! We of course, filled that day with reading by the lake, kayaking, tennis, and (guilty pleasure alert) The Bachelorette. I had never watched that show until I was in TN a few weeks ago, and I just had to know what happened to the guy wearing the mask!<br />
<br />
Anyways, then wedding day rolled around, and it was p-e-r-f-e-c-t. The weather did exactly what it needed to (though impending clouds of doom hung overhead most of the day), the farm where the ceremony & reception were held was beautiful, Katie looked like Barbie, Max's face when she came down the aisle was priceless, the wedding party and I got a tractor ride after the ceremony, and there was cherry pie for dessert! Does it get much better?? I submit that it cannot :) And on top of that, the brother of the bride taught me how to polka! It was a fantastic celebration of a fantastic couple, and I was so honored to be a part of this day! <br />

And I have to say... at this point I'm kinda proud of it. I've been practicing since high school since I was friends with Amber Perkins (who was super hot and had new boyfriends all the time), and I feel like a pro. Ally, Greg, Cory, and I had planned to tour around Italy and Ireland together. That's 4 people, for all you non-math types. But, Cory called in March and said he couldn't make it anymore. "That's fine," I thought, "cause Ally and Greg seem pretty fun and easy to be around." Plus, they were just dating, so that seemed pretty non-threatening. And then there were 3. <br />
<br />
5 days before I'm planning to meet up with them in Italy. The morning after Lani's "Hen Party" (British bachelorette sha-bang) in London, I called Ally to touch base. "I have something to tell you..." in that voice where you know that either a) someone is pregnant b) someone is getting married or c) someone is dead. Honestly, I had no idea which one it would be (although I was <i>pretty</i> sure that a) was not the answer. ha.)! <br />
<br />
"We got engaged last night in Rome."<br />
<br />
My first thought was a flashback to that little girl in Father of the Bride at the dinner table: <i>"Daddy, I met a man in Rome and we're getting married." </i><br />
<br />
I was totally shocked! I mean, they're only 20 and have only been dating about 8 months... definitely not the "normal" timeline for these kinds of things. But "normal" isn't always best and I have to say that, I love being with Ally and Greg. Being able to travel with people is a pretty big deal, and we all rode ferries and tour buses and trains and planes and bikes together for over a week with no meltdowns or Jerry Springer-worthy fights. In fact, it was pretty full of laughter and perfect. And I'm glad, because Ally deserves perfect. I have mentored Ally since she was in high school, and she's a little sister to me. I'm so glad I got to be the first one to see her after she made this major life decision to marry Greg, so glad I got to be around the 2 of them because I love how they complement each other and laugh so much, so glad I got to experience Europe with them ('cause I LOVE Europe) and so glad I get to photograph their wedding and document their love! <i><br />
