Sammy & Bettie: Life in Denver

September 25th, 2010

It’s days like today that remind me how much I miss and love Denver. Beautiful blue skies, lukewarm mid 70′s temperatures and a slight breeze just to remind you that the weather can change in a heart beat. All of which made for a perfect day for a lifestyle portrait session in Downtown Denver. Amazingly [...]

 

It’s days like today that remind me how much I miss and love Denver. Beautiful blue skies, lukewarm mid 70′s temperatures and a slight breeze just to remind you that the weather can change in a heart beat. All of which made for a perfect day for a lifestyle portrait session in Downtown Denver.

Amazingly I’ve known Sammy and Bettie since they were probably about 6 years old. Actually it could be longer than that but I’m pretty sure I was too young to remember it if that was the case. Regardless of that, we grew up as cousins, even though technically we aren’t cousins as we’re actually god cousins, and our families have gone through a lot through the years as an extended family of sorts. But even with all that, it seemed like it was mission impossible just to find a date that worked for all of us so that we could meet up for a quick two hour lifestyle portrait session. Fortunately we were finally able to do so today and we can now finally cross that off our things to do list for the near future so here you go girls, your single day edit photos are up! Enjoy!

Dina + John: A Denver Engagement

June 7th, 2010

I met Dina sometime during my third year in college through my good friend Tean (who’s wedding I was also in and partly shot). Since then we’ve come a long ways as we’ve both served as Co-Captains for the Spirit of Cambodia Dragon Boat Race Team with whom we’ve won both Gold and Bronze medals [...]

 

I met Dina sometime during my third year in college through my good friend Tean (who’s wedding I was also in and partly shot). Since then we’ve come a long ways as we’ve both served as Co-Captains for the Spirit of Cambodia Dragon Boat Race Team with whom we’ve won both Gold and Bronze medals with, served as Counselor Coordinators for the Cambodian Heritage Camp and volunteered to help with countless of Cambodian New Year celebrations in the Denver community. So needless to say, we’ve both become pretty good friends since we first met way back when in college and when I found out that she was engaged I couldn’t have been happier for her. I should also add that because of our long running friendship, I was proud to have been asked by Dina and John to cover their wedding and shoot their engagement portraits.

So as anyone in Denver knows, the weather in Denver can turn real funny in a hurry. The day of Dina and John’s engagement session was no exception as the weather really did a funky number on us as far as the temperature goes. The day started off pretty warm which led us all to believe that we were probably going to roast for the rest of the day only to be surprised when the temperatures turned mild as a nice high overcast cloud layer rolled in. That didn’t last long though as the winds picked up and the temperatures dropped from a warm 75 to a chilly 50 degrees when we arrived at our next location in the foothills of the Rockies. Fortunately for me though, the weather couldn’t stop Dina and John from toughing it out and finishing the last few shots we were trying to create.

But that’s enough from me, I’ll stop talking so that everyone else can enjoy the photos. Congratulations guys and I can’t wait to cover your wedding next year. Enjoy!

The Te Family

When I first walked through Civic Center Park in Downtown Denver years ago I knew instantly that it would be a great place to shoot. Not surprisingly I wasn’t the only one to think so and over the years it’s been a favorite spot for plenty of photographers looking for a great location for anything from family portraits to exotic shoots with exotic models. What is surprising though is that throughout all the years that I have lived in Denver I have somehow found one reason or another to not shoot at Civic Center Park up until two weeks ago when I met up with Anthony and his family for a fun family portrait session.

Anthony and his family were great to work with and fun to shoot as you can see from the photos below. And while we didn’t try anything crazy like some of the other photographers shooting at Civic Center Park that day we still had a good time and came away with what I hope were some great memories for Anthony and his family that evening. Anyways that’s enough from me so I hope you enjoy the photos!
