i2 Roadtrip to Boulder with James Christianson {Portrait Photograher, Boulder, CO}

James and I are good friends...well, given that we only get to hang out at photography stuff. But, he's such a great guy and was the guest speaker for i2 - this photographers group that hosts various speakers, deals with different issues that photographers face and manages to host model shoots where you can come and learn and get hands on "training" while shooting away at beautiful models who come to work! I finally managed to go and let's just say - it was a blast. My other good friend, Todd VanFleet was there too. It couldn't have been more fun having these two around. Plus I then got to rub elbows with other great photographers around Colorado and get to know them as well!

I got stuck in DNC traffic on the way there but got to get right to work taking photographs of the different couples (brides & grooms, just brides, and other couples that were dressed to the hilt - but not in wedding attire) It was incredible. Here are just SOME of my favorite shots of Sadie. She is the model I spent the most time with. You will see why when you look at the images she helps produce!

Captivated by Light by Ed Pierce

I got to go to this great seminar Captivated By Light on Thursday and had a blast. It did go on for a while by the end (only because it was over at around 11pm...and the fact that the day I got married I was no longer capable of staying up past 10pm without feeling it.) Anyway, I ran into my good friend, Todd Van Fleet! That was so nice! And Tori Thorp - who I keep trying to meet up with and somehow we keep randomly running into each other. Anyway, some great information on lighting and positioning of subjects. I really did enjoy myself! I am anxious to get to go to more of these types of seminars. Next one I go to I would love to have it be a hands-on one! But, in can Ed Pierce if ever coming to a city near you - it is worth the money! Go see him and learn!
