St. Patricks Day in Denver

A couple weeks ago a few people from the Denver Street Photography group on Facebook met up at the St Patricks Day parade in Denver to capture the festivities. It was really fun meeting some cool people and doing some shooting down in the city. I haven’t shot “street” photography in awhile and I still feel like I am finding my grove. I actually think I may enjoy sooting portraits of people on the street more than anything else and I want to experiment with that a bit more. I am hoping to get down there again soon…maybe for Cinco de Mayo.

New Adventure Vehicle

A couple of weeks ago I picked up a new adventure vehicle! As the kids have gotten bigger and have started joining me on trips in the backcountry, the Jeep has just become too small. There simply isn’t room for people and gear. I have wanted a 3rd gen 4Runner forever and my good friend Bob decided to upgrade his so I jumped at the opportunity. It is great shape for it’s age and has been maintained extremely well.

I have also started to move away from rock-crawling and have started enjoying overland travel a bit more. The 4Runner is MUCH better at this.

I don’t plan on going too crazy with modifying this rig, just subtle improvements to make it more usable. The first thing I needed to do was fix the sag. Over the years the springs on the rear have sagged, especially with new struts up front. I decided to replace them with some heavier duty Old Man Emu 2890 springs. The extra support will allow me to mount my Roof Top Tent on the top without too much strain on the suspension.

As you can see its stance is MUCH better with the new springs. The feel great as well, I have always been a fan of OME products.

As adventure is becoming a bigger part of this blog and my photography I am really excited about this rig. I will keep updating as I make little improvements and to the Runner and as always will post trips I take with it. See you on the trails!

Editorial Portrait of Courtney for Local Magazine

A couple weeks back a local magazine reached out and asked if they could interview Courtney for a section on local women in businesses. They also asked us to provide pictures. I wanted to make something that felt a little bit more editorial for this case. I used a soft box and rim light in Courtney’s adjusting room to create little bit of drama but still provide some context to the scene. I think it works well for what I was trying to accomplish.

Grace Church

I have been doing photography for churches for about 3 years now, including my home church of Grace Church in Arvada. This was my first time shooting in 2024 and it felt great to be back! New camera, new year, and a new editing process.

If your church in Colorado needs photographs for their website or socials please reach out! I would love to work with your team to create some beautiful images that help tell the story of your church.
