Despite a couple of false starts due to the unpredictable Spring weather in Colorado, I recently took photos of a friend of mine and her family. After doing some location scouting, I proposed we do the shoot at Willow Farm Park in Longmont, CO. The park itself is relatively new yet has a nice stream going through it which provides some nice big trees as a backdrop and plenty of open space for a variety of different scenes to use as a backdrop.

This was my first family portrait session and I couldn’t have had a better family to start with! Without me giving them any instructions upfront, they brought along a blanket to lay on and several toys and props to use which were perfect for the shoot. Olive was a trooper and lasted almost two hours during the shoot. I was really glad to work with them, and as you can see the results are great! I learned a lot from my time with them and had a blast, and really like how the photos turned-out.

It was hard to choose some favorites to post because there are so many great photos, but here are several that I really liked:

The Ultimate Music Xperience (UMX), is an annual, two-day battle of the bands which showcases some of Denver’s best undiscovered musical talent and the freshest emerging bands in the area. Approximately 80 local and solo and group acts will vie for a chance to play at one of the largest musical venues in the state: the 38th Annual CHUN Capitol Hill People’s Fair. The People’s Fair continues to provide an opportunity for homegrown bands to make an impression on the local music scene.

The UMX was again held at Bender’s 13th Ave. Tavern, on March 28 and 29, from 10:00am-6:00pm both days. The UMX is sponsored by Bender’s 13th Ave. Tavern, 99.5 The Mountain, The Onion, Miller Brewing Company and Dog House Music.

This past summer I volunteered at the Capitol Hill People’s Fair as a photographer which was the first time I photographed an event. I got numerous images from it which I will eventually post here, but this one is one of my favorites. While I don’t photograph people most of the time, it’s really fun to capture candid moments like these when they happen.
