While it doesn't happen as often as I would like it to, I have shot many of my friends' weddings over the years but this was the first that I have shot for my family. Quinten LePlatt and I are 2nd or 3rd cousins and grew up together in Monte Vista, Colorado in the San Luis Valley

Kyle and Julia engagement photo session at Brainard Lake Recreation Area near Nederland, CO. 

The Canon 85mm f/1.2L is one of the best, most outstanding lenses I have used. Would I recommend buying one, absolutely. Do I own one? Absolutely not, nor will I. Read why inside!

I met Tia and John through a friend and had a great engagement photo session with them in Rocky Mountain National Park near Estes Park, Colorado last March. One of my favorite engagement sessions that I have had to date, this beautiful couple had some great ideas!
