Family Photos Every Year
January 29, 2018

This photo shoot is of a family reunion of my longtime friends, the Fitzgeralds from Champaign, Illinois. They bought a home in Cordillera and we are now neighbors once again! Here is the entire family gathered again a little over a year after their daughter’s wedding.
I had the honor of photographing Pat and Suzie’s daughter Maggie, and their son-in-law Nic for their wedding here in Beaver Creek, Colorado the Summer of 2016. Now they can kick back their heels and really enjoy the Colorado lifestyle; classic old pickup truck and all!
Here is Maggie & Nic’s wedding photo. Nic was a recent West Point graduate and was deployed shortly after to serve in the United States Army.
A mother-daughter photo is a must; We know where Maggie got her beautiful smile!
Here Suzie is surrounded by her boys…upper left is Jim, the youngest, who was a hoot during the shoot! He was full of ideas and this photographer went right along with him! Luckily son, Tom and son-in-law Nic went along for the ride!
And Pat with their two sons Jm and Tom, who love to come to Colorado whenever they have the chance. That’s the beauty of having a home in Vail!
Photos capture an age and stage in your family’s life. This Father-Daughter image will be cherished by both for years to come. Join the Fitzgeralds and create your own family memories!

How did they get so lucky?
January 9, 2018

Molly and Carl have a lot going for them: a beautiful couple, a wonderful family, great friends, but most of all, TIMING. How in the world do you pick a wedding date in Vail, Colorado where the Aspens are at their peak and there is snow on the Gore Range??
Let’s back up a bit – Carl got his first look at his beautiful bride Molly on the covered bridge in the Betty Ford Gardens in Vail, Colorado. I think he was impressed!
The ceremony was held outside on a gorgeous Fall day with golden Aspens and snow-capped Gore Range Mountains as the backdrop at Larkspur Restaurant in Vail. Must say, it was a photographer’s dream day.
What a gentleman! And he didn’t even drop her in the creek! Probably because everyone was watching…
There is something magical about the Fall Aspen leaves when paired with the lovely wedding rings they chose.
Looks like they are in for the ride of their life!
What a great day for everyone! Choosing Vail, Colorado in the Fall and celebrating with a reception at Larkspur Restaurant is truly a fairytale wedding!

We all have lots of photos from when our kids were born, and even as toddlers, but what happens when we get so busy in those middle years?

It seems the only time our life slows down a bit is when we’re on vacation. What a perfect time to plan your family portrait!
Whether it’s the Fall colors or a beautiful snowy landscape, the Vail Valley makes the perfect backdrop for your family portrait.
Before you know it, your kids are all grown up and out of the house. These photos make memories of those special years.
What a handsome young man!
Christy looks right at home here in the Fall leaves and the Rocky Mountains.

Celebrating 50 Years Together
September 6, 2017

Meet Hollis & Carolyn Rademacher, my next door neighbors! I had the pleasure of photographing this lovely couple and their family to celebrate 50 great years together in marriage. What a milestone!
And how wonderful that their two sons, daughter-in-laws and grandchildren could all be there to celebrate!
Vail will have it’s glorious color in a couple of weeks which is a spectacular time to do family portraits. Wouldn’t it be great to have a lasting photo like this with your grandchildren?
The grandkids are surrounding a lion sculpture that is a replica of the lions in front of the Art Institute of Chicago, where the Rademachers call home as well.
Could not resist getting this photo of these two lovely young ladies before they headed off for their first year of college!
Father & Sons – What a happy time in Colorado!
Please contact me to schedule your portrait session and create lasting family memories!
