I am once again behind on blog posts, but at least that means I have lots to share! I’m diving right in with this session from last week.

Keko is a firefighter who worked on the Black Forest Fire and is therefore one of the many heroes that saved so many homes, including our own! I’ve been offering complimentary sessions (digital files included) this summer for local firefighters and their families in appreciation for what they do for our community. It’s something that will be an ongoing program for Real Photography, so if you know a firefighter in the area, please pass on the information. This is just a tiny expression of our enduring gratitude for all they did and continue to do.

Stephanie and Geoff are one of the sweetest couples we’ve worked with. Their engagement shoot was scheduled for shortly after the fire, and Steph contacted me during the evacuation offering to cancel or reschedule the shoot. They extended so much empathy, understanding that even though we were one of the lucky ones it was still a logistically and emotionally difficult time. I was anxious to get back to work, so I didn’t take them up on the offer, but Steph’s email was one of those that touched me greatly, which meant that I was super excited that we had such fun dramatic light to play with at their shoot! This shoot goes in my favorites! I brought the film camera along and shot a couple of bonus black and whites during their shoot–I love the look of black and white film!

In my seven years of shooting portraits in Colorado, I’ve experienced my fair share of reschedules, but poor Clare takes the cake. This mini session was originally scheduled for February, but between blizzards, illness, injury, a forest fire, and more wind than could blow poor Piglet away, we had more rescheduled dates for this shoot than I can even begin to count! We finally made it happen, and I am so glad because they were so much fun to photograph!
