Always growing as an artist | Colorado family photographer

Posted on August 25, 2009

As an artist there is always room for improvement and growth. You must continuously work on your craft so you can remain inspired. Well over the next 3 weeks I am fortunate enough to be taking part in a fabulous creative workshop with a photographer I greatly admire. I cannot begin to express how excited am about this opportunity. As part of this workshop I will be challenged with several different assignments and some of them I will be posting on here. I share them with you because I believe it is such a honor to be asked to photograph your families and because you share your special moments with me it is only fair that I share my moments with you; both as a mom and an artist.

Our first assignment was one which most photographers dread; “The Self portrait” (Da da da…… do you hear the haunting music?). At first just the thought of it made my stomach do flip flops. I hate being in front of my lens. In fact, I think that is one of my traits that makes me such a great photographer; I understand that others feel the same way too so I work at helping them to feel comfortable and relaxed in front of my lens. Well I have to admit it wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be. In fact, after I began snapping the images the artist in me took over and my self conscious self took a hike. In the end it turned out to be a lot of fun!

So without further ado I present me without a camera attached to my face.

Nothing makes a better photo op then a cute toddler and finger paints. Thankfully my enthusiastic and up for anything guy didn’t disappoint me. We both had an afternoon full of color, art, giggles and fun. Each time I look at these images it will remind my of that special afternoon. I hope you will forgive me for posting so many but I am a “Mom” first and foremost and as you Moms know you can’t choose just a few pictures of your kids because you love them all. I hope these images make you smile as much as they do me and that you feel inspired to take some time out of your busy schedules for some tickle time with your little ones.

I was so fortunate to spend a fantastic Sunday afternoon with the amazing Keezer family. They have the cutest boys and their energy is through the roof. We had the best time running around an old farm which is a local historic landmark. It now my new favorite location. There is so much foliage and fantastic outbuildings which make for an interesting back drop. Thanks again guys for allowing me to photograph your beautiful family. Here is your sneak peek, Enjoy!

As some of you know I participated in Scott Kelby’s Worldwide Photowalk in beautiful Evergreen, CO  a  couple of weeks ago and had the time of my life. There were so many amazing photographers there and they were so very nice and welcoming. I couldn’t think of a better way to spend my wedding annivesary.

Well after the walk everyone whom attended was able to submit two photographs from the walk for entry into the local contest; one image would then be chosen represent their local walk in the International competition.  Well today I was notified that my image “The Water Dancer” had been chosen!!! There were so many amazing images submitted and I was humbled to see be in a pool with so many talented photographers; to have my image recognized is overwhelming and exciting all at once.  This means I have to ask you all for your good luck vibes. They will announce the winners of the international contest on August 17th.

I just want to thank Katy the Evergreen Photo walk leader/judge and all the other participants for the honor and for allowing me to be part of such an amazing group of fellow photographers. I really am honored.
