Andrea and Steve were married at the beautiful Manor House mansion in Littleton, Colorado. The Manor House is in the Ken Caryl valley, nestled up against the mountain foothills. You might remember this lovely couple from their engagement photos in LoDo. I loved photographing all the details of this wedding, from the bird cage with their wedding rings to the amazing DIY flowers the groom’s mother arranged. Not to mention the fabulous stylings of the Manor House like the draped tulle, vintage chandelier and the plush vintage couch (I’m always a sucker for vintage furniture!). A sparkler send-off down the steps of the Manor House inspired “Love” in all those who attended.

Theo is a sweet and inquisitive 5-month-old boy. I photographed Theo with two of the greatest people in Portland, OR - Liz & Tony. We avoided the infamous Portland rain, taking family photos during a stroll through the neighborhood and the local park. And, we got to see sleepy, tippy Theo – he’s just starting to figure out the whole sitting thing.

What better combination is there than travel and photography? I rode the telepherique to Aiguille du Midi in Chamonix, France, strapped on my crampons and hiked to the Cosmique alpine hut for these incredible views of the mountains around Mont Blanc.

Rowan is a smiley, bright-eyed doll that reminds me a little of the Gerber baby – so sweet and cuddly! Here are a few of my favorite shots from his 6-month portraits in Grand Junction, Colorado. We took these at Rowan’s house with his beautiful mom Jane, who knew all the tricks for keeping him smiling and cooing! Rowan is also the son of Rob, featured in a previous climbing post here.

Steve and Andrea joined me in LoDo for their engagement photos, and with the happiness I was witness to with this fun couple, it’s a good thing their wedding is just a couple of months away! Ahhh, love!

Hueco Tanks, TX is one of the best bouldering areas in the country. It’s a great winter destination for climbing, with sunny desert weather. Here are a few shots I took of the Cassin Domino bouldering crash pad, along with some of the local scenery.
