Stephanie and Geoff are one of the sweetest couples we’ve worked with.  Their engagement shoot was scheduled for shortly after the fire, and Steph contacted me during the evacuation offering to cancel or reschedule the shoot.  They extended so much empathy, understanding that even though we were one of the lucky ones it was still a logistically and emotionally difficult time.  I was anxious to get back to work, so I didn’t take them up on the offer, but Steph’s email was one of those that touched me greatly, which meant that I was super excited that we had such fun dramatic light to play with at their shoot!  This shoot goes in my favorites!  I brought the film camera along and shot a couple of bonus black and whites during their shoot–I love the look of black and white film!

In my seven years of shooting portraits in Colorado, I’ve experienced my fair share of reschedules, but poor Clare takes the cake.  This mini session was originally scheduled for February, but between blizzards, illness, injury, a forest fire, and more wind than could blow poor Piglet away, we had more rescheduled dates for this shoot than I can even begin to count!  We finally made it happen, and I am so glad because they were so much fun to photograph!

I have lots of portrait shoots from last month to blog, so get excited!  Kicking us off is Lizzie, who volunteered (or was volun-told) to help me play with my new film camera (the F100) and a roll of Portra 400 and some Ilford Delta 400 for her 18 month part one photoshoot.  (I made her this little dress so it was very accommodating of Lizzie to wear it for a few minutes even though it was a little on the cold side that evening!)

 After some play time with my kiddos we went out again and captured the gorgeous evening light, this time in digital format.
