I never do this… but come on and vote!

Truly, I never do this. But when this contest came up I had an idea playing off of two classic photos for artistic inspiration. (One of which was this shot of Jim Henson and the Muppets.) I loooove the dog photography side of my business. Dogs are where I started more than ten years ago and now I also teach in Denver and my work is included in a Design Aglow Inspire Guide for dog photography. I pinch myself every day that this is where my journey has brought me and I am so incredibly grateful to and blessed by the gentle souls who have encouraged me along the way.

Sooo, when Miller’s announced their search for the next ‘We Are Miller’s’ ad I thought why not the dogs? Why not try to get a bunch in the studio and play? Of course, I totally underestimated how hard it is for me to be in front of the camera! My amazing friend Julie Harris came in to do the shoot and after an hour of mild chaos and a lot of laughs we got the shot for our entry. Thank you soooooo much to everyone who brought their little furballs in for the fun!

The photo we entered is below. And here’s the link to the contest. (You can vote every day this week! And the voting closes Friday September 4th.) Please do take a look and vote. Thanks!

Pinch me! Design Aglow Dog Inspire Guide

I’m just tickled. OK, maybe I’m whatever it is that’s beyond tickled. Snoopy dances. Huge, crazy Snoopy dances all over the house! Emma’s joining in but the cat clearly just thinks I’m weird…

The fantastic team at Design Aglow just released a new dog inspire guide… that features some of my dog photography! The inspire guides are set of little cards that you can study or bring with you on shoots to give you fantastic ideas for what to do with your subjects. The coolest part is that they are delivered to you digitally so you can have your lab print a set and you’re ready to go. (No waiting to have a product shipped to you.)

Here’s the cool part… I’m in there with some seriously amazing photographers! Amanda Jones, Erin Vey, Ann Hamilton, Jaime at Cowbelly… These folks are incredible! And I am just over the moon to be in the same inspire guide with them. Pinch me!!!

(And I’ll have a hard copy of the guide with me at the dog photography workshop tomorrow if you’d like to see the whole. We have two spots open in the class. Call Working With Artists right away if you’d like to join us!)

Pinch me! Betsy & Tony on The Knot homepage…

admin — Fri, 24 Jul 2009 16:35:06 +0000

I looooooved Betsy & Tony’s wedding! Shannon and I just had a blast and Betsy & Tony were about the most fun you could imagine! Tony is the infamous groom who arrived at the ceremony wearing the bride’s veil. And Betsy’s such a good sport! Watching them you could see how much joy they have in every moment together and what amazing parents they will be someday.

And now The Knot loves their wedding too! Betsy & Tony are the Real Wedding of the Week on theknot.com! I may be doing the Snoopy happy dance all weekend…

Pinch me! (Artistic Wedding Photojournalism Awards)

admin — Fri, 01 May 2009 00:18:27 +0000

I admit that I was the tiresome kid in class who always raised her hand and looooooooved getting a gold star on homework. (There. I’ve said it out loud.) I was also patently terrible at sports but that certainly never stopped me from being competitive. (There are many reasons that I’m photographing kickball rather than playing.) So when I finally get around to entering competitive images and they actually receive awards? And those awards move me into the top twenty-five from all over the world?! Well… I dance around with the cat and dog like a giddy little kid… I’m soooooo excited!

Amanda & Brady are in Brides!

There’s something just really, really, really cool about getting to see your name in print. And I loooooooove Amanda’s laugh! We had the most gorgeous rain up at Keystone Ranch that didn’t affect Amanda’s beaming smile in the least. And then the clouds parted just after the ceremony in celebration. It was a truly wonderful day.

And it’s seriously terrific to see Amanda & Brady smiling back from the pages of Brides…

There’s a short article about photographers’ favorite places to shoot and there are photos from Sharon, Stephanie, and Emily’s weddings! I gotta say, getting to see your work in print just couldn’t ever get old. I’m so tickled that I’m sure I’ll be grinny and unbearable all day…

A few of my favorite Colorado places to shoot…

Helzberg Diamonds & Susan Helmich Anderson

admin — Thu, 22 May 2008 21:58:36 +0000

So a little over a month ago I got a call from Tracie at Helzberg Diamonds in Kansas City and I admit that I had a moment of ‘good heavens, why are they calling me?’ What she called with was an incredible invitation. They were promoting a new line of angels and needed a photographer for the portraits of the artist. Oh my goodness what an artist! Tracie and her assistant, Katie, flew in and Shannon (one of the incredible people who assists me) and I trucked down to meet them and Susan Helmich Anderson in Monument at her studio…

Susan is… a gift, an artist, a brave soul, a caring heart, a storyteller, a mother, a teacher… so many things. I truly do not have enough words to describe the gift that the day with her was to all of us. Her hands moved like magic and she laughed and she loves Sting and she told story after story of her amazing path. As I watched her hands work in ways that were as comfortable as breathing to her, I couldn’t help but think about the things we do as photographers and the spectacular moments in peoples lives that we are invited into. Documenting an artist at work was… thrilling. Truly.

As the shoot continued in the afternoon, Susan was kind enough to hand everyone a bit of wax, her originals use the lost wax method, and invite us to play. Her open heart made it seem like the most common thing in the world that we would sculpt too. While we giggled, she wove magic creating a possible new piece for the collection right before our eyes… just a part of expressing her soul and her stories.

When the Helzberg brochures arrived today I was excited beyond measure to see what the wizzes in the marketing department had made of the photos. I just love what they did and the photos look great. But the truth of the matter is that Susan is the magic, I just got invited to try to capture it…

A few pages from the brochure…

And a few more from the shoot…

We’re on TTD and DBUI!

So this just keeps getting cooler. I can’t begin to describe how fortunate I feel. Eleven beautiful women who are also terrific photographers joined me in Vegas for an amazing unbridal shoot. They helped me make the impossible happen. Not only did the photos end up featured in Rangefinder, but now they’re on Don’t Box Us In and Trash the Dress!
