Triumph TR4 wide angle shot

Isn’t this a beautiful car? Rented the 12-24 wide angle just for this and was ecstatic at the angle of the lens flare. This is not photoshopped.

I always like to think she won because she had a great picture:) Ok, it might have had to do with a few other things too…

After some candy bribes, we put in her favorite video. That did the trick!

Yes, her eyes are really that blue. I actually desaturated them a bit.

Longs Peak sunburst. Some of you might have seen this one–just re-edited it. I about crashed when I first saw this (I was driving about 60mph), it was so beautiful. Luckily I had my camera in the passenger seat and was able to catch this image through the passenger window. I’ve since realized that these dramatic skies are rather typical around here. Ho, hum.

Here are some of the photos and designs I’ve done for this year’s holiday season. I’ve learned a lot in the last year and it was fun to do these–both the photography and the graphic design. I’m really busy right now, but I’m thankful for the opportunity to vent some creative energy:) I do a fair bit of editing and writing about design, which doesn’t always leave a lot of time to do it!

This portrait was lots of fun. There was light bouncing around like crazy, which makes for a happy photographer.
