Here's a look at our latest personal project. We've done some levitation photography before...it was so much fun, we decided to do it again! Plus, we thought it would be cool to do some location photography with beauty light. Thanks to Ella & Audrey for being fantastic sports (getting up before dawn, braving the cold, etc.) and for being... fantastic.
We first met this wonderful family when we shot Nathan's senior portraits. We gushed about that guy. So, just extrapolate all of that gushing times six, and you have the Burgo Family. These people love each other--it is so wonderful to see. They chose to get their family photos taken at the Broadmoor Hotel, and it was such a beautiful autumn day...warmth in the air and among sisters, brothers, mother and father.
We have two boys, whom we absolutely love and adore. Our little family is nice and tidy in a world, as a friend once rightly pointed out, that is made for four. But sometimes it seems a little too nice and tidy, especially after spending time with the family we recently had the privilege of photographing. Brandon and Kim have four children under the age of six – it was a little crazy, a bit chaotic, but a ton of fun!
We received a special treat on our last summer session of 2014. Stephanie serenaded us with classical guitar music as we photographed her at Ute Valley Park, creating an idyllic scene that was rounded out by the appearance of a deer hopping through the tall grass (really). After her performance, Stephanie strapped her guitar to her back and walked the trail for a few final pictures. We noticed she was nodding her head rhythmically as she went.
"Do you hear music in your head?"
"Yes." she replied. Perhaps she was hearing summer's finale—we were happy just to see it.
Not only were able to photograph this lovely young woman's senior portraits, but we were able to do so at Glen Eyrie, the beautiful and exclusive castle residence set among the red rocks just north of Garden of the Gods. It's like being told you get to eat premium chocolates...at Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory. Except nobody's getting carted away by squirrels or blowing up into huge blueberries. Okay, bad analogy, but you get it, right? Magic happened. Thanks to Kassidy and her mom Kelli for letting us be a part of it!
