“Urban Babies” Denver

Posted on October 31, 2009

If you’ve never been to meetup.com, you’re missing out.  They’ve got tons of interest groups that schedule local meetups with people of similar interests.  We got introduced to Urban Babies through a prospect we were looking to shoot some advertising style work for.  We worked to set up an all day shoot at to take advantage of the colors and with Claudia, myself and our intrepid assistant Jason, we set out for our all day adventure.  Here’s just a few of the photos we took.  The people of this group were just amazing, all warm, friendly families and the best group of toddlers and babies.  A little Starbucks Chai tea warmed us right up.  This was just a blast!  Thanks everyone.

The Urban Toddler

Posted on October 24, 2009

Man I love these kind of shoots!  Downtown Denver has such a great feel to it and fantastic photo locations.  We met up with Quinlan and his family down there on all days, the Scott Kelby Photowalk.  We were surrounded by photographers, taking pictures of us taking pictures .  We’ve shot Quinlan twice now, it’s amazing how much they change in just 6 months.  He started out a little slow, but picked up steam as the day went on.  I think we got some great new looks and captured a little bit of Q’s personality on the way.

Tivonne Shoot

Posted on October 20, 2009

We finally got some urban senior shoots this year.  I think I actually prefer these to the more standard leaves, trees and outdoors .  We actually managed to find some nature along the Platte river.  Tivonne was a natural, such a beautiful smile…perfect teeth.  I’m surprised she wasn’t one of our models when she walked in.

Michaela shoot

Posted on October 20, 2009

This has been a great senior season.  We’ve had some pretty incredible students in for their shoots.  They seem so much more mature and composed than when we were kids.  It’s often hard to believe they are just graduating high school.  We had more than our fair share of late photos this year, don’t wait so long next year seniors!  We had to turn a few away.

Seymone shoot

Posted on October 19, 2009

I had a rare opportunity to shoot with an up and coming model in San Diego last week.  Rare in the face that it was at the beach!  Seymone is beautiful and has such an amazing style and look.  We hope to see her on TV and in the magazines soon!

Our Sessions

Posted on October 19, 2009

What to Expect

Casual, casual, casual.  Even though we take formal portraits, we want to make your photo session as natural as possible.  We specialized in candid and unposed photography and want to capture you at your best today so you can look back at the memories a photo can bring back.  And, although we mix in a few formal poses and looks, we really want to bring out who you and your family are through the photos.

Jay specializes in fashion and glamour shoots and he puts you into the scene just like a fashion magazine shoot.  We have a lot of experience in emphasizing and bringing out the beauty and character of our clients.  Claudia has a more casual and relaxed style for intimate, family or personal portraits

So bring your favorite music, outfits you look good in, your pets, favorite objects, sports equipment, cars, etc.  If they are part of your life, important to you, we can work them in.  Each session can last 1 to 3 hours depending on the type of session you book.  They can be indoor and outdoor…location shoots are our favorites.  We have hundreds of locations throughout Denver.  At the end of the shoot, we provide a CD of all web-sized images with unlimited electronic distribution rights.  

We also provide an electronic portfolio of your photoshoot to review in the convenience of your home.  Frends and family can view too and anyone you allow to can order prints electronically.  We’ll work with you to pick the right finish for your final, selected photos.  Our photoshop finishes take a fantastic photo and turn it into a family treasure.
