Shoot the Work You Want to Do – Urban Running with Annie

Rarely will a creative director hire you [a photographer] to shoot a project in which you have zero experience. You have to create the portfolio for the work you want to be paid for. This means you must do personal projects, it should be one of the most important parts of your portfolio. You get to bring your vision to life and really showcase what you can really do.

I had wanted to shoot with Annie for a long time, but our schedules hadn’t lined up. Finally last week it all came together for an amazing shoot. I had ideas in my head for shots I wanted in my portfolio, and these came out better than I imagined.  Thanks to Annie for being incredibly easy to work with and Ladd Forde for assisting.

It’s Snowing in Boulder!

Winter has finally arrived and hopefully it’s here. I’m in full on winter mode. Ice climbing Sunday, skiing and snowboarding Thursday, and I shot mixed climbing in Vail yesterday! So psyched for this season!

Driving to Golden as the sun came up Thursday, the Flatirons were on grand display.

On the way home the conditions were a bit less sunny.

I’ve lived in Boulder now for almost 3 years. I drive past this tree multiple times a month and I’ve wanted to photograph since I saw it the first time. I finally didn’t have to be back in Boulder for anything specific and took the time to stop. So glad I did!

And I stopped at the pull-off to photograph the Flatirons again.

I love having my Sony A6000 with me, I’m definitely more apt to use it since I carry it more often than my 5dMkiii.

If you’re interested any of these are available for print. I will be announcing my new Print Shop soon, but in the meantime, I will fill you in by email.
