I'm excited about my new blog! I have a Wordpress blog that is integrated with my website and imports my Livejournal posts and comments. If you are a Livejournal user, you can keep reading my blog on LJ, because the content is the same in both of my blogs. Everyone else should switch their bookmarks to the new blog:

Sunset over Pikes Peak and Prospect Lake
Colorado Springs
May 2009
Colorado Springs is such a beautiful place to live. I took this photo as I got in my car after an engagement session at Memorial Park. I suppose you could say that this was the view from my office that day. I hope I'll never take it for granted.

It has been a while since I've done a Wedding Ideas post here. I have a section of my website devoted to wedding planning ideas, and the most popular photos there are the bouquets. So here are lots of photos of wedding bouquets for brides and bridesmaids. Enjoy!
If any of you have requests for my Wedding Ideas posts, please let me know. My huge collection of wedding photos is a treasure trove for wedding planning inspiration.

Nichols Reservoir, Colorado

Mike and I spent Saturday with friends at lakes near Woodland Park. We had a picnic at Rampart Reservoir, and then we hiked down to Nichols Reservoir. Mike and Brad did some fishing while the rest of us lounged by the lake and played with the dogs. I love living here in Colorado!

My parents
May 31, 1969
Happy anniversary to my Mom and Dad! Today they are celebrating 40 years of marriage. They got married at the end of May in Montana, and when they stepped out of the church after the ceremony, they were surprised to discover a snow storm had arrived. You can see the dark storm clouds in this photo. My family talks about this photo often, because there is something poetic about stepping out into a storm at the beginning of a marriage, and facing it together. Forty years later, they are still happily married and are wonderful role models for me and my brother in our own happy marriages.
I hope there aren't any storm clouds for them today, because they are celebrating their 40th anniversary with friends at the beach. Mom and Dad, I wish we could be there, too! But we'll see you very soon. Happy anniversary! I love you!

Kim and Chris
Garden of the Gods
Colorado Springs
May 26, 2009
Kim and Chris are newlyweds who got married just before Chris was stationed to Iraq last fall. He's back in the country on R&R right now, so they took a vacation to Manitou Springs over the holiday weekend. The Garden of the Gods is one of their favorite places, so it was the perfect choice for portraits during their limited time together. Chris will be returning to Iraq next week, and I hope these photos will help them bridge the distance between them.

Hillside Gardens

May 24, 2009
It was a memorable holiday weekend for Leila and Luke -- they graduated from med school and got married! I'm glad they had sunny skies for their engagement portraits earlier this month, because it rained hard on their wedding day. They had planned for an outdoor ceremony, but thanks to a hardworking and cheerful group of family, friends, and vendors, they were able to move the ceremony under cover at the last minute. The rain was intermittent throughout the day, which gave great opportunities for photos with stormy clouds, umbrellas, and sun rays through the clouds.
My friend Walt Palmer was my second shooter for the day, and Lindsey Zahalka was my assistant. Thanks for your help, Walt and Lindsey!
Leila and Luke, I'm so happy for you and all your recent accomplishments. Congratulations, and good luck with your new careers!

Sarah, Brad, Isaac, and Laura
The moment that they learned the sex of the baby
Colorado Springs
May 20, 2009
Sarah invited me to come to her first ultrasound, to share in the experience with her. I asked her if I could photograph it, and she agreed. I was thrilled when she invited me to the second and third appointments also, and I offered to photograph those as well. You can see photos from her first ultrasound here and her second ultrasound here.
Yesterday was the day that they'd been waiting and hoping for. I loved this moment just after Laura, the midwife, announced the baby's sex. It took a second to sink in for Sarah, and then she starting clapping. It took Brad a couple seconds longer for it to sink in, and then he grinned. Meanwhile little Isaac was oblivious to the news, and was trying to put ultrasound gel in his dad's ear. What a moment.

I'm in reality geek heaven this week, with the finales of Idol and Survivor, and the premieres of the Bachelorette and So You Think You Can Dance. Toss in the pilot of Glee, and I've been glued to the TV all week.
Now here's the big question:
Poll #1402668

Who loves funny, down-to-earth Jillian as much as I do? How gross was that foot fetish creepazoid? Which is more annoying to you: Kris' crooked mouth, or Adam's dangling tongue? How did you think "No Boundaries" compared to the other cheeseball finale songs of years past? Who else is counting down the days until a summer full of SYTYCD?
