Garrett is a senior at Bear Creek High School in Lakewood, Colorado. We had a great time shooting his senior pictures at Corwina Park in Jefferson County. The photos came out great, and Garrett was fun to work with.
If you need senior photos taken for JeffCo schools (Lakewood, Bear Creek, Green Mountain, Golden or Evergreen), contact me today to get your session scheduled. Slots are filling up fast, and yearbook deadlines are right around the corner.
Today is the first day of school for kids in Lakewood, Colorado (and all of Jefferson County I believe). More importantly, it was the first day for the Class of 2023. This is my youngest daughter’s first day of Kindergarden.
I recently had the pleasure of taking Senior Pictures for Golden High School Senior Chris K., Class of 2011. We had a great time shooting in Corwina Park outside of Evergreen.
Headshot due dates are closing fast. Contact Chester today to schedule your Senior Picture shoot for this year.
I needed a headshot for an interview that is going to be published later this month, so I went out in the yard and took one myself.
We were at a friend’s house for dinner recently, and I just happened to catch Nat in this spot. Sometimes random moments work out well.
I recently had the opportunity to go with Jon, Shelby and Owen to Corwina Park (between Morrison and Kittredge) for a family photo shoot. We had a good time, and they saw a park in the mountains that they had not been to before. Corwina is a really good setting for family or senior pictures, and is nice and close to Lakewood. Contact me today to schedule your photo shoot in the mountains.
The inbox and calendar are starting to fill up with Senior Portrait requests. I am local to Lakewood High School, Green Mountain High School, Alameda High School and Bear Valley High School. Yearbook headshot deadlines will be upon you faster than you know it (indeed, I can’t believe school starts in roughly 4 weeks), so get your photoshoot scheduled today. We can do urban or mountain. Favorite locations include Red Rocks and spots along Bear Creek toward Kittredge. Rocky Mountain National Park is an option too, but additional fees would apply for travel time.
You never know when a good photo opportunity will crop up. This shot was taken at my daughter’s 5th birthday party at our house in Lakewood. I didn’t expect to get any good portraits, just normal candid snapshot stuff. One of our family friend’s 1 year old climbed into one of Natalie’s new present’s, a Barbie sized doll house. Then she put her face right up to the door. It was too cute to pass up, and this is the result. Many thanks to her mom for letting me share the photo with you.
Recently my 4 year old daughter, Natalie, and I took a drive in the mountains west of Denver for the express purpose of taking pictures for fun. She is starting to get better with her camera (Fuji A330) and I was wanting to play with my Olympus 50mm f2 (a superb lens in every way).
I can’t remember the last time I went out and shot for fun. It was probably 9 months ago when Jennifer and I went to Silverton the same weekend we were taking our oldest to college in Durango. I love my pics of the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad steam engine 482. Nat and I were on our own this day, so we packed some snacks and headed to the hills. We took Colorado 74 out of Morrison toward Kittredge. First stop was Corwina Park, where the photo above was snapped. I have shot some senior pics before, as well as our family photo a few years back. Natalie loves the stone picnic shelter here and she took some pics in the area too.
At Corwina, we realized it was way too windy to much portrait stuff, and Nat didn’t like the dust blowing into her face. We packed back into the car and continued west on 74, through Kittredge (making note of a cool playground to have a picnic at sometime) and continued on to Evergreen. I thought it might be less windy by the lake, and that it could provide a good backdrop, so we turned right at the light just past Little Bear and started around the lake. As we were even with the dam, Nat asked what it was. As I explained it to her, she wanted to get closer and take pics there. So we turned around and went back into downtown Evergreen, parking just off Colorado 73 at the base of the dam.
We wound up spending the rest of our time shooting from there. All sorts of stuff to see, different perspectives, even a bird on a wire. The next three posts to this blog will be from our time at the dam. After we were done shooting, we decided it was lunch time and headed home. I really enjoyed getting out, and Nat said her favorite part of that day was taking pictures. Couldn’t ask for anything more.
If you are interested, you can see her perspective on the day, through her camera, by viewing her pictures.
