modern family photography

Modern, Journalistic Family Photography I was privileged to photograph the Swartzendruber (say that ten times) family a couple days ago in Hastings, Nebraska. I was close to taking the little one, Zaine, home with me. As you can see, he is the star of many of these images. Tara is a photographer out of Henderson, Nebraska. This is the first time she has been on the other side of the camera since her wedding. I was so honored to be their photographer. When Tara was telling me what she was looking for she spoke to my heart when she said, "I don't want anything traditional." That I can do. These are so much fun.

Best Children's Photographer in Denver

These have to be the best children's photographs. Oh, I love these little girls so much. I photographed cousins Kayton and Taylor during their fourth year of life at Colorado's Beaver Creek. This lifestyle candid photography captures every bit of these beautiful girls' personality. These beautiful lifestyle images capture so much.

Denver album cover photographer | kyles cover

I just love to photograph unique, passionate people--this is kyle. He is an awesome musician and we documented his album cover that is coming so soon. We photographed him in the mountains of Denver and loved every bit of this shoot. I love working with artists. The emotion that comes along with this package facilitates such awesomeness.

Children's Photographer in Wash Park

Children's Photography I've been itching to photograph Micah, Evan and all their little matching things for months. I get to spend a good amount of time with the Roggow family and often  pretend that their kids are mine... then get to give them back to their parents after a few hours :). I am constantly asking Jackie questions about their development. It fascinates me to observe them as they experience the same things, are the same age, look the same yet are so different. I learn and laugh a great deal with this lovely family. I hate to shower!!.. and love you all so much. Their photos were taken at Wash Park in Denver.

Art and transitioning homeless

Some friends and i have been working on a mysterious project with the kids at Joshua Station (a transitional homeless shelter) for about a year now. my initial vision in developing the experiement was to teach the children art and use it as an avenue in to working through deeper things. It's been such a fascinating year. none of us know how to formally teach and most teenagers either don’t like art or pretend like they don’t like it. but, God has done some amazing things. every time i feel like i walk in pretty clueless and when i leave i am always in awe of what happened. there is something to be said about entering in to service with humility. Last night there was an art show and the organizers kindly let us put some of the children’s work in. we were able to sell over half of the pieces and one of the ladies is going to commission one of the girls to paint her something else. this is another small link to the beginning of something great.

Here is the write up we submitted for the pieces.

“Eight young artists from Joshua Station, a transitional homeless shelter walked around downtown Denver capturing their perspective on community though a camera. The group then met together to paint one of the images that stood out to them.

“What is community?” we asked. Their verbal responses were general. Friends, family, Joshua Station…people. As we led them to paint community we saw an interpretation far beyond their words.Though their definition of community was vague, their paintings interpreted the children’s community beyond their words. The intensity of their brush strokes, the value of their color and the attention to their canvas spoke depths about who they were and where they are at.

These eight paintings are a study of children who were given the same task, canvas, brushes and words. It’s an observation of the effect that the word “community” is translated and documented through the eyes of the children at Joshua Station.

We told the group that if their work was to be sold at the art show, a percentage of it would go to a charity. One of the girls muffled, “but we are the charity… charity starts at home.” Proceeds from any sales will go to support the Joshua Station art program and the artist will get a portion of the sales to do an activity of their choice.”
