Fall - Estes Park, CO

A few weekends ago, Stoney and I took a weekend trip to Estes Park. The weather was a little cold and drippy, but we still had a wonderful getaway. We stayed at two great places, had some time to relax, saw the elk bugling in town, went to Rocky Mountain National Park, and saw more great Fall colors. The elk were awesome to see, but at the same time, it made me a little sad to see them having to deal with all of us onlookers. You could tell they were a little annoyed/confused.

Here are some photos from the weekend.










...humerous.








Handsome.






















This one reminds me of New Zealand (but not quite as perfect....I'm just saying).

The Calway Family

I really, really like the Calway family. We did their session at Red Rocks; they chose this site because they are both very active and use this open space regularly. Chris frequents Red Rocks on his mountain bike, and Kelly runs in the area. Running is actually her job in the Army (she's part of the World Class Athlete Program)....how cool is that? Their little girl, Hazel is awesome! She's the perfect combination of sweet, mannerly, tough, outgoing, tomboy-ish (I think I just made up that description), and little girl-ish. She is wonderful.

Thanks Calway Family!

The Shin's Fedding Photos

Nope, that's not a typo.
Fedding: the combination of the words fake and wedding, which refers to post-wedding, wedding photos. [This term is a Krista Shin original.]

Krista and Henry are such a fun couple; not to mention, they are super cute. Krista, you were a beautiful bride!
It was a perfect day for a fedding session at Garden of the Gods, and my new favorite, beautifully tagged-up portrait session location. We had a great time with these two!





























Thanks Henry and Krista!

Fall

I LOVE this time of year! This past weekend, Stoney and I took a wonderful drive up to Buena Vista and then on to Aspen to see the gorgeous aspen tree's leaves changing colors. They were breathtaking... My dad always told me that my great-grandfather, Jack, would call the aspen trees quakies because of the sound they made when the wind would blow. I love that sound.

























Here's another great post about Fall.
