carrie & nick

nick's steady persistence finally paid off when carrie said "yes," 'cause for the longest time, she didn't know what to do with him :)

august 23, 2008 will be a duezy of a day for carrie & nick when they take over her parents' backyard, "father of the bride" style.

they warmed up to the camera super quick on their engagement session in boulder this week. we all had a giddy ol' time in search of texture, color, and romantic spots. one special thing i enjoyed about this particular shoot was all the wonderful, colorful places in boulder we found with little effort that made for great backdrops. it's kinda like we take for granted so much of our surroundings, but then when hunting for something to boost the creative energies, quite often we have what we need around us (if we open our eyes and hearts to see it :)

we found a field chock full of the world's biggest dandelions and had a mini-contest to see if they could blow them off... it is waaay harder than you'd think.

chasing the light up chautauqua trail in boulder proved to be an exhilarating way to connect and enjoy the scenery:
