January 2010

I did a group shoot at my studio with a bunch of photographers and models. A play day was a great way to kick off the year!



I later photographed model Lachelle in my studio.

December 2009

December started off rather nicely, as I photographed my good friend Robin Smith's art opening in Denver. Robin had just returned from working on her art in Ireland, and had her friends perform a variety of Irish music for the crowd!

The event photography continued with Sohana Karim Arni's holiday market.

Then Sohana had me photograph her own jewelry:

November 2009

This month involved photographing the Thornton Fire Department. It was a big job, so I hired my good friend Carl Marx and we photographed the department early in the morning! They were all such good sports!



I also did another actor headshot:

October 2009

In October I photographed the Race for the Cure. What an inspiration!







I was also hired by Elaine Unzicker in Ojai, California to photograph her chainmail clothing pieces! I hired model Taryn and makeup/hair artist Katelyn Simkins to pull off the shoot. We did product photography for the Unzicker Designs website, and also editorial work for promotional material.

September 2009

With the seasons about to change, my subjects wanted to enjoy the weather while it lasted!

The Karim Family:

I spent some time at the end of the month getting ready for fall, so I felt the need to express that photographically:

August 2009

July was a month spent among family, so when August came, it was time to hit the studio!

I first photographed model Fallon in a variety of setups to build her portfolio.

Then came a few headshots...

...followed by photographing model Taryn under black lights.

June 2009

As the weather warmed up, it was time to head outdoors!

I photographed model Taryn again out on Manny's Bridge in Denver. The bridge featured an interactive light installation by artist Virginia Folkestad, which I thought would make an intriguing background for us. Taryn had to work extra hard to hold poses for longer periods of time, and I had to hold very still too, as I ditched my tripod in favor of camera in hand.




I also photographed model Brinon at the Denver Botanic Gardens in a dress by Melissa May. The lovely Katelyn Simkins provided the makeup and hair.



Later in the month, I photographed model Taryn again. This time I wanted something really edgy. Called "The White Corner Shoot," this day was about Taryn modeling within the confines of white walls that formed a corner. Wearing designs by Melissa May, her own clothing, and some of my accessories, plus makeup and hair done by the never disappointing Katelyn Simkins, we really came out with what we wanted.

May 2009

The month couldn't have started stronger last year as I photographed model Taryn with makeup and hair by Katelyn Simkins in my studio. As we went through Taryn's wardrobe, we chose what would come to be known as "The Yellow Shirt." This was my favorite image from the day; it just felt like everything came together in this picture.




I later photographed aspiring model Stephanie. Even now, her eyes still remind me of Elizabeth Hurley.













The biggest thing I did in May, however, was photograph Allison and Tom's wedding in Durango, Colorado. Allison and I have been friends since high school, so photographing her wedding meant a lot.
