Last weekend was full of picture taking. Before we went to the farm, we met up with some friends in downtown Boulder. When I decided that I wanted to actively pursue photography, I emailed a few local friends and asked begged and pleaded with them if I could please practice on their families. Although I think I’m pretty good for someone who has only been taking pictures for a month, I’m definitely not ready to accept actual paying clients, so my friends must act as my guinea pigs.
Fortunately, I have very patient (and photogenic) friends, so hopefully you’ll see their shining faces gracing this blog for several months to come. Unfortunately, the weather in Boulder wasn’t too great on Saturday, so we didn’t get to spend too much time playing.
Jon and Barb kindly agreed to be my subjects this weekend. I first met both of them when I moved to Boulder a couple years ago, and I’m really lucky that I can call them friends. They are both just really cool people who are passionate about life and each other. Jon’s newly married brother Josh was also in town for the weekend, with his new wife Kana. It was a real family affair.
Josh and Kana were so sweet with each other.
I love this shot, you can’t tell whether she’s going to kiss him, or whisper sweet nothings in his ear.
There are some really cool walls in Boulder.
Juliette is Jon and Barb’s daughter. She’s such a pretty girl, and you can definitely tell her how much her parents adore her.
Only a little over a year old, and she’s already fierce.
One of the things that I love about Jon and Barb is that they really show how you can have children, and yet still maintain a life outside of being parents. One of my favorites from the day, here they are proving that the romance doesn’t die.
Thanks guys, for being my guinea pigs. I can’t wait til we can get outside in some nice weather and shoot!
