Falls Creek Falls – Waterfall Portraits
Waterfalls and a natural beauty to photograph. Two of my favorite things. Not only is Silje beautiful, her kind spirit radiates from within. One of my favorite portrait sessions to date. Enjoy.
Katie + Mike’s Washington Park Wedding
I met Mike and Katie a couple years ago through my dear friends Kevin and Liz (You can see their wedding HERE) over a couple of beers after the four of three of us had returned from working in Antarctica. Fast forward to Liz and Kevin’s big day last September – One thing that struck me…
Intimate Crested Butte Summer Solstice Wedding
Two wonderful humans married at Peanut Lake with one of the most beautiful views in Crested Butte, Colorado. The story of Chris and Carolyn’s love is close to my heart because their love is genuine, their hearts so big, and both full of adventure. They met each other at the base of Mather Pass high…
Holy Smokes!
Yes. That is the cold, hard truth. I haven’t blogged in over three years. As I type this I hang my head in remorse. Seriously, where does time go? I’ve been on some pretty sweet adventures- Antarctica 4 times in the last 4 years (!!!), Samoa, Australia, Bali, New Zealand, Spain…. to name a few. Along…
Kate + Brent. Larkspur {Vail Wedding}
Perfect weather. Perfect location. Perfect couple. To top it off they were surrounded by their friends and family who clearly love them both. The day was filled with smiles, laughter and love. Kate and Brent’s June wedding in Vail went off without a hitch. Kate looked stunning (Brent looked pretty sharp himself) and rocked her…
Brent + Kate – Rehearsal Dinner at the Lazy J {Wolcott, CO}
What could be better than spending a beautiful Colorado evening on a real western ranch, shooting shotguns, playing horseshoes while sipping lemonade or cold beer not to mention the fact that you are surrounded by your closest friends and family? Not much in my eyes. I was thrilled when Brent and Kate asked me to…
The Five Kuài Wedding – Part Two – Destination Wedding: Shanghai, China.
Alright. Here it goes. I’ve neglected putting this post up because I can’t narrow down the selection. . . Or maybe I just don’t want to. I’ve known Lindsey since high school…. Maybe junior high (it’s all a little blurry). We haven’t kept it touch very well in the last 10 years or so but…
The Five Kuài Wedding – PART 1 – Shanghai, China.
Oh, my. I don’t even know where to begin. 12 days in China. Sensory overload. Taking part in Lindsey and Bryan’s wedding is something I will never forget. I could go on forever but will get right to the photos. June 1st, 2012 Lindsey and Bryan headed to the marriage office to get the official…
Whiskey nights.
I was in Antarctica for a little over four months. I shot a total of four rolls of film. Strangers meet from across the room. They dance the night away. Life at the bottom of the world is strangely poetic.
Just another day on the ice.
Some eye candy from a lil’ Antarctic photo shoot. Side note: This crazy bird is a Skua. They are similar to say a seagull yet larger and more aggressive. They are frightening. This afternoon my friend and I were walking from one building to the next carrying our sandwiches wrapped on plates. One of these…
The deep field.
Back, what seems like many moons ago, I had the most amazing opportunity to live and work at a field camp in Western Antarctica. It was a dream come true. . . one that I had no idea I wanted to experience. WAIS stands for West Antarctic Ice Sheet and is as flat as it…
The end is near.
Life in Antarctica is coming to an end. Terrifying thoughts of re-entering the “real world” fill my head. As I look at the calendar and countdown to my redeployment date I find myself daydreaming, frequently, of the night sky, green grass, trees, chirping birds and furry animals. I think about the food I might eat…
Endless days and another year.
Happy New Year! Life at the bottom of the world is treating me well. I hope the same is true for you and yours….
Ob hill
Just when I thought summer was here with the recent warm weather and melting snow, a storm came in and brought some snow and cooler temperatures to town. Another week has come and gone which included a lot of “Firsts” ; My first Thanksgiving celebrated on another continent, our Thanksgiving meal yesterday (Saturday), first time…
Mud season.
Self-Portrait #7 Hut Point, Antarctica. Things that are going on here and other ramblings: – I’ve moved in to another room. This time it already feels like “home”. I’m living in the eclectic Tiki Lounge. It has an entry way/ living room area that is shared with 14 people. Attached to that are four rooms…
Solitude.
Time alone is a rare commodity here. …
Snow coffins and bird watching.
So much is going on here in Mac-town. The days are whizzing by at a rate that makes me wish I could pump the breaks and add 10 hours to each day. The town is buzzing at almost full capacity (over 1,00 people). Since my last blog post I had quite the little adventure at…
Ice angels and the night sky.
The experience was one that I won’t forgot anytime soon. Hypnotic. Mesmerizing. Peaceful. Surreal. The vision was something you might see in a dream or experience if you lived on another planet. The color palette ranged from black to deep blue and then to lighter shades of bright blue and was speckled with almost glowing…
Mustachio Monday – McMurdo Style.
Ok, it’s not Monday, I am fully aware of that, but today is my day off so I thought I would take advantage of that and update the ole blog. I’ve been scouting mustache models for my on-going project. Can’t wait to build the mustache collection with a McMurdo chapter. In the near future, mustache…
Occupy Mcmurdo.
Last night went to Gallagher’s to hear one of my co-workers, Thia, aka Rowdy sing. Occupy Mcmurdo was the other band who played. They both rocked. Let me just tell you, there are some talented people here. Really. …
