{foto friday – i miss this hair, this moment, and this part of lower manhattan}

missing new york and hair long-enough to pull in a ponytail…

i’ll get there soon… it’s growing sort of fast{ish}… okay not really at all. and i hate to blame it on colorado but i do… my hair always behaves funny here and it’s nothing like my east-coast hair…

whatever… sigh.

and on that note, have a great weekend! mercury is retrograde, in case you didn’t know… there is lots of information out there for those of you interested in reading more… just do a search. and be patient as you may encounter delays as per the very essence of MR. even as i typed this blog, my keyboard kept freezing up. and my music was skipping… haha.

one day i’ll talk about how i was born under MR. it’s rare, as am i… and usually i can articulate myself a little more effectively when mercury is slowing down for those few weeks every 4 months…

aaannnyway, enjoy the weekend!! 🙂

{missing NYC – cherry blossoms, the perfect portrait accessory}

26 Apr

i’m reminiscing about brisk spring foto shoots in central park like the one with this beautiful couple from singapore…

cherry blossoms just reek of spring – quite literally! 😉

and i think we are finally entering spring here in colorado – even though it’s doubtful i’ll see any of these here! warmer temps are expected for our weekend, though – and i look forward to going for a walk by the lake, working in the garden, and having a smoothie outside on the patio. i hope yours is filled with warmer temps also – among other delicious things!

{aj the gem}

27 Mar

as an astrology-loving-portrait-photographer, i always say geminis are my favourite to play with. they give me so many different looks! the lovely gem, AJ, still goes down as one of my favourite models to get in front of my lense… and she feels the same way about being being in front of it!

i never have to give miss A any direction… she always knows where the camera is…

and they have quite the romance going on!…

she’s so fun and flirty… Continue reading →

{foto friday} — portrait friday!

15 Feb

i decided – i don’t showcase enough of my “work” — i believe i am a relatively amazing portrait fotographer. in case you’ve never seen my portrait work, click here.

i wanted to share some of my favourite portrait sessions over the years and also share new ones as they are discovered… and this collection is for sure one of my favourites. she’s so spunky! love her pink stripe… and the yummy lighting that day on our romp through lower manhattan around sunset…

{whatever wednesday} — self.

23 Jan

it’s high time i shoot some more self-portraits. the last time i did that was in 2010. and it’s very liberating and healthy for me to occasionally get in FRONT of the camera. it’s kind of an unspoken general rule – photographers don’t like being photographed. i don’t mind it sometimes, so long as i’m the one taking the pictures! 😉

i remembered this collection when i was organizing my files recently. sometimes i feel like about 86 personalities inside this tiny little physical form of a body. i feel very introspective at the moment – so i thought i’d share these fotos which emulate just that.

{foto friday} — a perfect autumn wedding

26 Oct

i told you how i fotographed a wedding a couple weekends ago, right?! well, i’m still processing the 1300 raw images i shot, but i wanted to share a few of my favourites for foto friday. i am beyond blessed to have met this woman. she is a soul sister and i immediately knew when we met that we were going to be close friends. it can be a little nerve-wracking to mix business with pleasure, but i have found i work better when fotographing events for people i know. in this case it was beyond easy. first of all, the bride is STUNNING! she looked like an egyptian goddess this day. and she just put me at ease. the entire wedding was basically HAND MADE from the flowers to the cake to the beer. hosted in coal creek canyon’s eldora lodge – complete with crackling fireplace, snowfall, hot tubs, an incredible host staff, and tons of love and laughter. i have never been to such a wedding. i will never forget this day, it was so special to me in a very unique way…

so, here are a few of my favourite images.

i did mention how it rained like, 4 times that day?! i’ll share the shots i was able to snag in good light! 🙂
