Democratic National Convention - Denver, CO

The Democratic National Convention was held in Denver this past week. I wasn't able to catch the historical acceptance speech in person, but I was lucky enough to go downtown twice and catch some of the action wit my camera. I walked around for hours both times, just shooting anything and everything that looked interesting. This event sure brought the characters and the crazys out of the woodwork! It was an amazing experience though - you could feel the electricity in the air!

It's all about P.R.O.M!

I had a photo shoot in downtown Victoria with Alina before she headed out to her Prom! We had such a great time setting up all sorts of neat shots and playing with the contrast of the grungy locations and her awesome fancy prom dress! It was great! Enjoy!

Adam's Senior Portraits...

Adam is the son of one of Luke's coworkers, Annette, and I had the opportunity to shoot his senior portraits this month. It was a great opportunity for me to hone my skills with portraits and to possibly get my name out there with other coworkers who have graduates in their families in the next couple of years!

Adam was a lot of fun to spend the afternoon with. His cousin and his mom came along as well, which was great! Adam's in a band and so wanted his love of music and his guitar to be center stage in his photos. Much to his mom's dismay, we also featured the mask that he wears during performances in some of his photos - but she was quick to get him to take it off for the majority of them! :) I found a great wall of graffiti in Denver, which we swung by and took a few shots against. We also visited a couple of alleys and City Park in downtown Denver. It was a great experience, and I look forward to doing more of these portrait sessions! It's great to be able to give a family photos of their kids that they will treasure forever....that's a very special feeling!

Roaming around Denver....

Luke and I spent part of the day in Denver today looking around for interesting places to do a senior shoot that I have coming up soon. We ran into a lot of interesting things - most of which were shot from a moving car as we fought the traffic of Denver at rush hour! It was a fun afternoon though....

I believe this is right near the Denver Art Museum....quite the interesting abstract sculpture!

The Capital Building

I'm pretty positive that this is the Wells Fargo Building - I've always heard it looks like a cash register!

On our way home....back into the country....
