Feature Hunting Football

Homecoming games are a great time to get something more than just the usual action football shots. I made these feature photos at Longmont High School’s homecoming game against Skyline. 

60 Years and Still Going Strong

I had to go photograph the sweetest couple today celebrating their 60th wedding anniversary. Bob and Roberta Burkett met as children and said they new right away they would be together forever. Even after 60 years of marriage they were very flirty with each other, Roberta even gave Bob’s bum a little pat as we were changing locations! It is really wonderful- hopeful actually- to see people so in love after all that time. I love this photo of them. I feel like I really captured their story. I had been struggling to capture the right image, Roberta dropped her guard rested her head on Bob’s chest and bingo. I was done.

Dance Machine

I had to go photograph the Dance Machine studio in Dacone today during try-outs for their competitive dance team. The girls were young but wonderfully serious.

Ceramic Artist

Denver Woman magazine hired me to photograph Boulder artist Kim Dicky. She is an incredibly talented sculptor who makes these great organic, leafy pieces. Her workspace was a cramped, dark, dusty room with harsh yellow lighting so I brought her out by a window, used some of her tools as props and made a nice portrait.

Martial Arts

I made these images at Integrity Martial Arts during their belt ceremony and picnic. I was hoping the ceremony would produce some photos of the children demonstrating their techniques but it was pretty straight forward without any action. It was tough making images but I thought these two photos worked out well.
