Youth Photo Show

For the past year, I've been teaching classes at my studio to kids through the Larimer County Department of Human Services. The kids are between the ages of 13 and 18, and previous to attending class, none of them have ever used an SLR camera. Yet, I'm always amazed at the quality of work they produce!

Part of the class is giving the kids an opportunity to exhibit and sell their work. It's been amazing to see how the kids gain confidence as their work is shown (and sold!) to the community. We hold four shows a year at the studio, and the next is coming up on Friday, April 10! All proceeds from sales go directly to the kids. Since the show is being held on Good Friday, we'd be happy to arrange private showings for those of you who can't make it. Please contact us for more information! Hope to see you there!

Chia

Chia is a pianist studying at UNC and needed photos to advertise for her final recital! We had an amazing time shooting. I love the open frankness of her expressions and the way her bubbly personality comes through in every photo!

Congratulations, Josh and Mia, on your amazing baby boy!

Engagement Portrait - Robin and Steve

Photo de Novo is a "green" business. We do online proofing (instead of paper), recycle, use minimal packaging, and avoid driving when we can... so Robin, Steve, and I hopped on bikes after the downtown portion of our shoot and rode to the Poudre Trail. It was the most beautiful day, and we ended up with some great pictures! Thanks to Kansas City Kitty and Matt Webb of the Bicycle Hive (for great bikes, email Matt at alpha_sixty@yahoo.com).

Client Testimonials

From Emily Cornwell, wedding client:
"I cannot imagine anyone else I would rather have photograph the important moments of my life. Sarah Boyd has a refreshing approach to photography. She takes the shots no one is aware she is taking. In other words, she captures the intimacy of a moment without the awkwardness of awareness. Her timing, angles, and lighting are impeccable. She was able to capture not only the moments of our wedding day but also the personalities of the people who made our day so special. The world is a better place because Sarah is here to photograph it."

From Emily Katsimpalis, wedding client:
"Sarah Boyd and the Photo de Novo team are absolutely a joy to work with! Sarah is such a talented photographer; she makes your memories look so beautiful, and you will cherish the photos she takes for years to come. Not only is Sarah an incredibly nice person, she is creative and fun and will make you feel comfortable and at ease during the photo shoots and throughout the day. On top of all that, she will work with you to make sure you are completely, 100% happy with the end product. We would hire Photo de Novo again in a heartbeat! Thanks, Sarah!"

From Jeanna Nixon, portrait client:
"Sarah is an absolutely incredible photographer. She was able to capture exactly the look I wanted. I told her I wanted to look like me... only better - no glamour shots or cheesy stuff, but something that would wow people, and she pulled it off so well. Her ability to make me feel comfortable and enjoy having my pictures taken is certainly evident in the results. Everyone who has seen my pictures is amazed at her talent. I would recommend her without a doubt!"

From Rob Easton, portrait client:
"Sarah has done family photos for both our immediate and our extended families, and the photos are wonderful! Sarah is easy to work with and her photos captured our family in such a natural and contemporary way. These shots will be part of our family's tapestry for years!"

From Jessica Hess, portrait client:
"My husband and I chose Sarah to take maternity and baby photos for us. It was an amazing experience and we have incredible photos to treasure for a lifetime. The birth of our first child was an amazing event, and Sarah captured it beautifully!"
