Christmas Day, then the blizzard!

Every year we eat homemade raviolis in soup on Christmas. A treat like none other. And we got to be at the beach!

NYC at night

Ending another Year

A 5 day trip to NY for Christmas turned into 10 due to a blizzard on the 26th. This Boulder wedding photographer was very happy to be in New York City! Just back home today, reveling in the aftermath of 3 days in NYC, and days of family, food, rest, 'home'. It's good medicine. And my 'mutha' took excellent care of us!
I left my computer and my charger for my favorite point and shoot the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX3 behind, so photos were limited but conscious.
After days of not posting I will go back to the start of the holiday week, just as we end it with the end of 2010. By the way, I LOVE New York City! We flew into New York with the full moon over the water as we entered into the city lights. My friend Alex Harsley, of the historic 4th Street Photo Gallery, my friend and fellow RISD grad Charles Cohen at MOMA.

Fast Isoprene Sensor with Hills-Scientific

Studio shoot with atmospheric scientist Alan Hills, of Hills-Scientific in Boulder, Colorado. We photographed the Fast Isoprene Sensor, which he invented and designed. It monitors isoprene in the atmosphere and is used by researchers worldwide. It is the only device capable of performing these measurements. Wow!

Holiday Season

Warm December days, wishing you happy holiday time...

12 Week old Evelyn Baby Portrait, Boulder CO

Always a treat to photograph a baby! Evelyn is 12 weeks old here with her parents Erik and Meg. Old enough for smiles and young enough to not move around too much :)

Family Portrait Season Boulder, Colorado

A wonderful Saturday Chautaqua shoot. It's wonderful to work with the same family multiple times. I photographed their wedding 9 years ago and now this is my second family portrait with Paul, Susan, Davis and Carson. Thank you!

Have to Share

This weekend has brought me to a renewed place of understanding and appreciating the power of photography. This tool, this vision, this gift, allows us to see things after the fact, the moment, the day, the year. We can be reminded of the magic of family, the power of overcoming obstacles and remembering times past, times current, times healed. I am humbled and honored to participate in bringing this forth for my clients. Thank you! I share with you a testimonial I received today. It is the second such expression I received this weekend-where interactions are revealed in my photographs that show a family in a renewed place, and I give thanks for my love of this medium and the gift I receive each and every time I photograph. Thank you to my clients for the opportunity to do the work I so love creating and sharing with you.

I have been reviewing our photos, deciding which ones to frame. The truth is, they are all wonderful. Somehow you captured my dad cracking a quiet joke; my teenagers playing, just like they were when they were little; the love between my dad and step-mom; and me, on the other side of my long ordeal - happier, wiser, grateful, strong - as close to my genuine self as I would like to be. Thank you for seeing us as we are and saving those memories for us.

I remain your biggest fan, J

More from the Osa

It's the kind of place, where if you stop and look at the ground, it's moving with so much life. Those are leaf cutter ants climbing up the tree. When you look across a path they are moving along, it goes on for a very long time...

The Osa Peninsula, Costa Rica

The Osa Peninsula is one of the most beautiful, pristine areas of Costa Rica. Lucky for me, I spent a few days there.
