Meet Jenny and Johnny. They are adorable:

They drove down from northwest Colorado for their engagement shoot this weekend. It was great to finally meet them!

They braved the damp grass for the laying down shots I was loving this weekend:

Some mandatory cuddling:

We took them to a playground.

And since Jenny was also rocking the purple, a trip to the orange wall I’d just found was a must!

I have a thing for photographing on stairs.

I’m always inspired when our couples share food. It’s generally not a good idea to have me share food with Nic. I’m always tempted to kick him in the balls and run away with the food.

We dashed over to Garden of the Gods for a few shots in fields. Stairs and fields. I love them.

Nic thinks Jenny is a dead ringer for my baby sister. It wasn’t until I got home and started proofing that I realized she totally is! Right down to the glasses!

Jenny and Johnny, we had a blast getting to know you–thanks for being up for anything! We look forward to seeing you again in April!

Behind the scenes: I swear that Nic and I do have other clothes–Jenny and Johnny and Laura and Jack’s shoots were on the same day, so our outfits lack originality…

And me with my precious stairs, intruding on yet another cozy couple moment:

And risking my life and camera for the most awesome playground shot ever. (I swear it felt scarier up there with my camera than it looks.)

I had the honor of being the photographer for Leena’s Bat Mitzvah last weekend!

I wasn’t allowed to photograph the actual ceremony, so we faked it:

After the Bat Mitzvah, there was an incredible reception.  The food alone was gorgeous!

I kept hearing Leena’s guests say how cool it was that the butter was on a leaf, so of course I had to get a shot of it.  (I should have included a gawking 13 year old, though!)

The DJ (who I knew from Andrea and Jason’s wedding just last month) had the teens charging up and down the dance floor:

They had two parties set up–the indoor one for the adults, and the pool party downstairs for the Leena and her friends (it had an ice cream bar–that totally beats air conditioning any day).

The woman of the hour was tossed into the pool by her brother:

And then the pool party began!

The third time is the charm with Laura and Jack! We rescheduled their engagement shoot twice this summer and finally made it happen at a very early hour this past weekend.

Laura and Jack brought their sweet dogs for some family pictures:

We only had a couple of minutes of sunlight, but they totally nailed it. Laura and Jack are so cute!!

Have I mentioned that I *loved* their outfits? They were rocking the super hip purple and lime green combo…and when I saw this orange wall I knew it would be a winner!

We often tell couples “look like you like each other.” I don’t think Laura was faking. :)

And last but not least, my favorite of the day:

Jack and Laura’s wedding is next year (one of our lucky June couples–those June Saturdays are popular!). They are so sweet and fun and we can’t wait to work with them again on their wedding day!

Behind the scenes: Proof that I really must love Nic. I share the 70-200 with him on occasion. (But I have a thing for guys with their shirtsleeves rolled up, so it might just be the sleeves.)

Nic must have been feelin’ the behind the scenes shots this weekend, because I have two of me to share.

Nothing says “quiet romantic moment” quite like having a photographer right over your shoulder.
