modefi salon // littleton, co

i got to sneak into modefi salon in littleton last week to photograph my trusty hairdresser and his staff.

not only is richard the most talented hairstylist around, he’s built a gorgeous salon with the coolest original artwork. see that light made of scissors? richard designed and built that. he also put together those sweet, chunky mirrors, tiled the ceiling, and completed the room with original artwork by stanley donwood {a.k.a. radiohead’s poster designer!!!}.

richard’s also a total riot and may or may not have a really cool background as a member of a über famous rock band…

next time you’re in the denver area, stop by modefi for a haircut, blowout, or even just a good chat.

carefree family portraits // phoenix, az

although i specialize in wedding photography, i occasionally get the pleasure of shooting beautiful family and senior portraits.

and do you want to talk about one of the most enjoyable portrait sessions of my life? a few months ago, i had the opportunity to head to phoenix and photograph the prettiest couple and their darling children. we had the best time exploring the streets of downtown phoenix and laughing all the way.

i loved photographing these guys and especially the children– they reminded me of the joy of childhood! and if they’re not the most photogenic little things in the whole world, i don’t know what is…!

the mom of the family is such an inspiration. she’s a well-known blogger who started a non-profit to help inner-city youth get into college. so cool. you can check out her blog/cause here.

XO.

every occasion is an excuse for family photos  to capture those precious moments! need family portraits in colorado, utah, or anywhere really?! e-mail me, and we’ll  set up a portrait sitting.

adam + eden engagements // provo, ut

the only thing i like more than my friends getting married is when my friends get married and let me photograph them!

adam was one of my closest friends through high school– my junior year prom date even! after serving a two-year lds mission in puerto rico and returning to attend brigham young university, he met his sweetheart, eden. and after a whirlwind summer romance (part of which was long distance so adam could teach incoming lds missionaries in mexico city), they decided to tie the knot and set a wedding date for six weeks later.

we met up for an early fall engagement session in provo, utah and took advantage of provo’s beautiful canyon scenery. we wanted to play off the colorful contrasts of the river, mountains, and trees. i loved getting to capture these two’s love and very apparent adoration. adam made eden laugh endlessly, and he was pretty happy himself; he couldn’t wipe a smile off his face the whole time!

congratulations, adam + eden! i love your love.

XO.
