Weddings - wonderful events that they are, are so incredibly stressful for photographers; especially photographers (like myself) that do not have 'seconds' to come with them on wedding shoots. This means that the stress is all on one person to get the job done.
Frankly, I'm done with it. I love weddings, I love shooting weddings - as a second who can be a little less stressed about the event itself and focus on the photography and the joy of it.
With that being said, I will no longer be doing weddings except on a case by case basis depending on what the bride and groom would like, or if another photographer asks me to second on a wedding they have booked.
I have one beautiful daughter and another one on the way, and children have really become the inspiration for my photography. I love setting up infant, newborn, and kids photo shoots and I really have come to love the unexpectedness that can come with photographing children. I have done some research in Colorado Springs and I have discovered that there are only a couple children's photographers in town who do not rely solely on a studio but will take their pictures in a variety of locations. I am one of them.
Nature-inspired indoor and outdoor photo shoots that really capture the spirit of the children I am shooting. I love sculpting with natural light and using elements found from everyday life. Mixing antique furniture with bright colors and unique locations provides classic and whimsical pictures to savor for a life-time.
I can't wait to get started with my new muse, my daughter baby E.
