Babies.

Here are some adorable photos of wee ones: Ian, Lorien, Ezra, and Owen.

Seniors!!!

Here are a few of my favorite Senior Portraits, in no particular order. For some reason, I almost always get girls... and last year, it was mostly girls whose names started with "K"... Kara, Kelsey, Kirsten, Kate, and Kylie, to be specific. It's a mystery! (FYI: I do take pictures of guys, too!)

Ladybird Poppy

I'd like to introduce you all to the best lil' floral designer I know, miss Sarah Tedford of Ladybird Poppy. I spent last Friday surrounded by amazing flowers while I photographed the Valentine's arrangements she was making, and created the promo piece below. Sarah is extremely talented, with a love for out-of-the-ordinary flowers and one-of-a-kind arrangments! I heartily recommend her to anyone who's looking for floral designs that are truly unique!

Get in touch with Sarah at ladybirdpoppy@gmail.com, and mention Photo de Novo!

Three Total Babes

Here are some more gems from the archive: Portraits of Jera, Cierra, and Jenn.

Laura and Martin

Laura and Martin's wedding happened on August 30, 2008, in Monument, CO. Laura and I met years and years ago while we were both living in Vienna, Austria, and I jumped at the chance to shoot her wedding! Laura is earning her doctorate at Yale University; Martin is from Germany and spends a good part of the year touring Europe as a trombonist. Everything about the wedding was unique and amazing - from Laura's dress (which Martin picked out), to the unbelievable music (which included a trombone quartet for the ceremony - joined by Martin for a special song, a bluegrass band for the cocktail hour, and a jazz band for the reception), to the couple (with the help of their friends) performing their own ceremony. After the ceremony, with Laura still in her heels, the couple and I hiked up to Monument Rock for a few photos before we re-joined the party for some of the funniest toasts and best dancing I've witnessed this year. Hooray for adventurous couples like these two!

Emily and Kory

I'm doing my end-of-year archive, which means looking over all the images from 2008. So, over the next couple weeks I'll be posting this year's greatest hits. We'll start with Emily and Kory. They're artists and adventurers - they went to Thailand on their honeymoon! Their family is great, too - you'll see pictures of Emily's grandfather, who wrote original poems for the occasion, Emily's nephew (also the ringbearer), who caught the couple a cricket for good luck, and Kory's gracious parents (Mom with Grandpa, Dad with flowers). We had a great day, despite the rain!
