Dreamy and Romantic

This sweet, beautiful young lady e-mailed me and asked if I would take pictures of her and her husband for their 1 year anniversary. After corresponding a few times about the style of their photo shoot, I was giddy. I knew the pictures were going to be something special.
We started out in town and took a few shots....





Then we took off towards a park that I thought would be perfect setting to capture the love of these two.





Their first big purchase together was this old monster of a car. I had to include it in the pictures.



We then nestled into a perfect romantic setting with beautiful light. This couple is so cute together I'm having a hard time deciding which is my favorite.

















We ventured to a few more places within the park and then called it quits.







What a treasure these pictures are. I can foresee 50 years from now, these pictures being shown off to their grandchildren and them remarking how much they were in love.

Colorado Trip

Caution there is an overload of Colorado pics.
My blog has replaced my scrapbooking days.
Here we go....our first stop Garden of the Gods in Colorado Springs














Next, the Great Sand Dunes













Durango/Silverton Train ride







I'm thankful for the Arby's sunglasses that came with a happy meal. My girl left her sunglasses at home and we needed glasses to cover our eyes from the soot from the train.





















Next stop Mesa Verde
The trees along the way had been burned from a fire a decade ago.
I loved this shot immediately.....



and love it more in black and white...













Our rental home was near a lake.



We saw a black bear cub at the lake. I was so engrossed in seeing it that I forgot all about my camera.

Our rental home was up in the mountains, at the base of the mountains this is what I saw....







Here is my family at the door of the rental home.



This is the seventh year that my husband, dad and brother-n-law have gone backpacking in the mountains. This is a shot from their adventure. It was taken from my husband's Iphone. My dad is standing at the top of the mountain. It's my favorite shot of the whole vacation.



My kids favorite thing to do on the trip was the river rafting (not pictured) There was a section where the rapids were at level 3. That was the best part for them, adrenaline junkies. I was nervous for them, and they were screaming with excitement and wanting more level 3 rapids. Go figure.
