Six Peeps

What do I have in common with Kobe Bryant?

Well after tomorrow I can say I went to court at the same courthouse as Kobe!
I got a speeding ticket in Vail. It was really lame, I wasn’t even going that fast. I got a ticket for going 62 in a 55. A police friend of mine told me that there is [...]

Luke & Meagan, Beaver Creek / Vail Colorado

Yay, a Colorado wedding! I was telling the girl cutting my hair today that this year it seems I have photographed more weddings outside of CO, than IN Colorado. Probably not true, but it sure feels like it.
I wasn’t going to blog this wedding because the groom, Luke, is a Lawyer, and that [...]

FLASHPALETTE

Not all wedding photographers can afford a custom built web site, which can easily cost way over $10,000. When I first started myself, I built a really crappy HTML site. I wish FlashPalette was around back then! They offer template web sites for photographers.

Last year the founder of FlashPalette actually flew out [...]

Featured Peeps! The GOALBOOK!

Today I received a really great email from a woman who attended my Master Class presentation at the Wedding and Portrait Photographer’s International (WPPI) Convention and Trade Show last year.
Shortly after the show, she emailed me and asked for my goal-book files. I made it a policy not to make the actual books for [...]

Congratulations Rockies! Blizzard Bike!

Well we didn’t win it (not even close) but I’m still proud to say that our Rockies made it to the World Series. It was so fun watching them get there.

Jersey Shore: Wendy & Brian

I remember when Wendy first came into the studio for a consultation. I never try to pressure people to sign a contract while they are there. But when Wendy told me that she was going to make a trip to New York to look into other more local photographers for her wedding, I [...]

Following my Portland wedding, it was off to Dallas, Texas to photograph a 50th Birthday Party for Sherry!

Colorado Fall Colors!

These are some photos I got from a recent trip that Jenny, Gary and I took. One quick note about the photos: As a purist effort in the digital age, I decided to keep the photoshop at a minimum and rely more on my photographic skills. It was hard not to bump the [...]

MISSON ACCOMPLISHED - 31 lbs of CHUBB - GONE!

Hey peeps, I done it!
About 11.2 weeks ago I made it public right here that I was on a mission to get my weight down from a chubby 215 to a lean and “springy” 187.
Why 187? Well many years ago I was at that weight and I was a well-oiled MACHINE. A real [...]

Dan & Angie Engagement take 1

First of all, this photoshoot came on a SPLURGE DAY (Sunday) and I try to reserve Splurge Day as my “Day Off”, but Angie baked me the most delightful splurge day cookies so I am no longer upset. Oh and Dan has been a good friend of mine since 1995 when I pledged Sigma [...]

Funny Bumper Schticker / Travel with Rob

I saw a funny bumper sticker a while ago and wanted to blog about it. Today I saw a funny quote on my bike advisor, Cory Grunk’s blog (which is worth checking out, although he needs to update it more often!): ANTIROBOT
The sticker I saw, read, “I like my globe warm”. I like [...]

Today Sucked. Edit: Yesterday sucked, but I made up for it today!
