Anniversary in the mountains | Adventure photography

My husband Shaun and I haven’t had a real vacation in a long time, it’s probably been over 5 years now.  When he asked me last year if I’d be interested in a reggae show at Red Rocks in Colorado this spring, I said YES and started dreaming about all the fabulous photos I could take of the scenery.  Fast forward a few months, and I realized the show was over Easter weekend!  This is the first time I didn’t spend Easter with my family and kids, but it was so worth it for the experience we had.  Colorado people are the nicest, and we had unseasonably warm weather for April.  We were able to check out the Denver Botanical gardens, many (many) breweries and restaurants, the 16th street mall in downtown Denver, Red Rock amphitheater, and also the beautiful Rocky Mountain National Park.  We also got treated to a moose munching on grass in a parking lot to end our visit!  Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to bring my camera to the show, but I’m grateful for the mediocre iPhone photos of Red Rocks, anyway.   I’m so happy we were able to get away for a long weekend and celebrate our 8 years of marriage!

An inspiring night!

Last year, I had the opportunity to photograph a graduation ceremony for the Illinois high school diploma program at Harper college.  There were a lot of proud graduates and family members, it was so wonderful to be there and capture the excitement!

It’s me, hard at work! 

A few years ago, I got serious about posting Instagram reels.  I started taking little video clips of myself at the various locations - just in case I didn’t get to take a video of my clients.  It’s become a little tradition that I spend January looking over all of the videos I took of myself the previous year, and sharing some.  I love that potential clients can see my face, get glimpses of my most used locations, and it will be fun to look back on these later.  Thank you to all of my clients who made 2024 so fun and rewarding!  I absolutely loved working with all of you. ❤️
Love this patch of pines! 🌲

Hard to believe this spot is in a very suburban area when you see the photos!  Love the photos, and the family!
