The photo agency I work with, Aurora Photos, kicked off a celebration of their 15th anniversary with a photo relay. The first photographer, started on June 10th, and had to create three photos, one of which was uploaded to a special website, Aurora: Action: Reaction. The next randomly selected photographer from Aurora’s contributors has to deliver three images that relates to the first image. This creates a visual action-reaction chain that will be updated every 48 hours. I was on the clock Wednesday and Thursday last week. The image chosen was of Mark Drake and Scott Mossman out for a training ride on an adaptive bike on Rabbit Mountain near Lyons, Colorado. Mark Drake is the owner of Hand Bike America. Mark specializes in adaptive sports technology and takes existing adaptive sports equipment and custom fits it for individuals among many other things. I also went bouldering with renowned climber Malcolm Daly on Flagstaff in Boulder, Colorado. In 1999 Malcolm fell 200 feet while climbing Thunder Mountain in Alaska suffering numerous fractures and frostbite. Malcolm is the Executive Director of Paradox Sports which provides opportunities and inspiration to the disabled community. Malcolm, Mark and Scott are all awesome people and athletes and it was a privilege to met them and share their energy for life. These are the two additional images I contributed. Thank you Mark, Scott and Malcolm!

The Hugs, the Smiles that Last Forever
With family and friends in Virginia recently we went through our wedding album. There are about fifty pages bound in the leather book. As we turned the pages, my friends marveled in the timeless moments of our wedding. Although eight years ago, the album brought it back to life!
The glorious aspect of wedding photography and albums is that when grandchildren or family look back on the photos, they will feel as if they are there. They can experience the hugs, the looks, the smiles documented through photography forever. Capturing the emotions and story of weddings epitomizes my style and keeps me inspired! As a wedding photographer, I feel like a magician who captures the moments and preserves the stories forever in a gorgeous family heirloom…
Last Day at Copper Mountain
Copper Mountain Ski Resort celebrated their closing day with an end-of-season bash featuring live music and record crowds. As regular Copper skiers it was our first spring skiing conditions with corn snow. Just last Tuesday we were skiing fresh winter style powder. Last Sunday it was all sun and blue skies. We choose to stay up high where it was a bit colder and the snow stayed firm. I skied my best ever on Gold Digger Run, an easier black run at the top of the Sierra Lift. Next year I’ll work on dipping my skis into the back bowl area!
