The Faces

This time of year I find myself caught up in the same things that everyone else must. About December 15th I keep saying, "I can't wait 'till this over." I took these pictures Christmas morning and haven't given them a second look since. Today I pulled them up and realized that this is what it was all about. The excitment. The satisfaction. The best part of being a parent. I know that it is just stuff, but Chris and I work very hard to get the stuff. The faces say it all. On the same note Chris and I would like to announce that this next time next year, we will have another face to document. We are expecting another baby in July. . . keep your fingers crossed for the girl. Happy Holidays everyone. I hope you all get at least one reason to light up like this.

Jake Loggins Band

This past weekend I shot images of The Jake Loggins Band at Oscar's in downtown Colorado Springs. I met Oscar's owner Phil a while back and he asked if I could come in and shoot the next time that this particular band played. After going to the show, I know why Phil wanted me there. The house was packed and they put on a great show. I will definitely be attending another of their gigs when I get a chance. If you haven't been to Oscar's you should check them out. They have great food and atmosphere, not to mention that draft beer is always 2 for 1. They are located at the corner of Costilla and Tejon downtown. To see a few more images of the band click here.

Family Time

Chris and I took full advantage of decent weather on Saturday to do some family portraits for some of her co-workers. It was a bit chilly, but not bad for December. We all met up at Monument Valley Park downtown for the shoot. I promise the clients I'll have their images to them soon. . .

Congratulations to Jeremy and Mary
