JENNIFER & DAVID - ENGAGED 02.07.2009 UNCATEGORIZED

okay...so i have obviously been mia on this blog for quite some time, but i have some good excuses. for example, in the past 15 days i have had:

1 baby named Shaun (more on him later)

2 engagmeent sessions.

3 weddings

4 portrait sessions.

4 client meetings

5 trips to the airport to pick up/drop off family

10 or more prints come into the studio for hanging on the walls

100 diapers changed between the newborn and 2 year old.

so you can see i have been somewhat busy...now back to Jenn and David.

i met Jenn and David just a couple of days before their wedding, which will be coming to this blog very soon! Jenn and David were gracious, fun and adventurous...even running around in the rain for my camera. so without any more words, here are a few of my favs from their engagement shoot.

love this moment between them.

i'm getting back to my split panoramas.

i saw this on SETH GODIN'S blog today and it really inspired me...so i thought i would share it with you.

YOU MATTER

  • When you love the work you do and the people you do it with, you matter.
  • When you are so gracious and generous and aware that you think of other people before yourself, you matter.
  • When you leave the world a better place than you found it, you matter.
  • When you continue to raise the bar on what you do and how you do it, you matter.
  • When you teach and forgive and teach more before you rush to judge and demean, you matter.
  • When you touch the people in your life through your actions (and your words), you matter.
  • When kids grow up wanting to be you, you matter.
  • When you see the world as it is, but insist on making it more like it could be, you matter.
  • When you inspire a Nobel prize winner or a slum dweller, you matter.
  • When the room brightens when you walk in, you matter.
  • And when the legacy you leave behind lasts for hours, days or a lifetime, you matter.
and since a photographer's post isn't a post without a photo...here is a collection of images from UTA BARTH that inspires me.

PRINT FOR YOUR HOME 08.06.2009 UNCATEGORIZED

i ran across this image from a wedding last year and decided it would be a great print for our home. you can have it too if you want. just click here: FINE ART PRINTS BY JAMES CHRISTIANSON it will be under flora/fauna

i had an absolute blast spending the day with Courtney & Daren. Courtney's attention to detail was evident throughout the day and they both were able to just really enjoy the day. it is couples like Courtney & Daren that always make me really appreciate what i get to do for a living. i feel blessed to have been a part of your day.

the fabulous MEG STEPANEK WITH GEMINI EVENTS was the event planner for the day. she always makes things go smoothly and stress free.

i also had two very talented photographers Josselyn Peterson and Jackie Stonas, helping out. thanks guys you rock!

some of my favorites from the day.



















































on tuesday JULIE AFFLERBAUGH and I were fortunate enough to host JOSE VILLA for his BOULDER WORKSHOP. Jose was an open book, sharing with us and answering every question. watching him work with the couple was truly a treat for me because i have been studying his work for quite awhile and always wondered how he communicated and worked with his couples. i was so intent watching and listening to him that i hardly took any photos of the couple... Jose, we can't thank you enough for coming to Boulder and giving us a taste of your incredible talent.
