brian, gretchen and jd

I can’t believe this week is almost over.  I’m trying to post at least twice a week, so I’d better get crackin.  Last weekend was forecast for all rain all the time, but luckily, the sun came out on Sunday, and we met friends for drinks and conversation.  Of course I got in some picture-taking as well.   The *best* part about not being a true professional and getting paid for my work?  I can drink all the mojitos I want!  I am much better at bar sports (pool, darts) when I drink….I wonder if the same holds true for photography?

I’ve been friends with Gretchen and Brian for a couple years now.  Tony and I were skiing with them in Steamboat Springs the day they got engaged, so I always have a soft spot in my heart for them. They had a wonderful New England fall wedding in 2007, and now they are parents to six month old JD.

So…there are magical flower elves in Boulder.  Did you notice the gorgeous tulips in the shots above?  They weren’t there the other day.  I SWEAR that someone comes out at night and replants all the flower beds with flowers in full bloom.  It’s like magic - one day there are short blue flowers and the next day there are tall red flowers.  They never seem to get shrivel-y and faded either,  they constantly look shine-y and new.

JD makes the best faces.  He’s one of the most expressive babies I’ve ever seen.

I may get yelled at  for posting this next one, but I can’t help it.  baby torture!

You’ve seen this wall before.

Here are some more of the happy family. I’m not sure that I love the texture on this next one.  It’s something I’m playing with.  Any thoughts?

I really like happy baby flying through air pictures.

Thanks guys.  I can’t wait to hang out again!
