Betsy & Connor - Mt. Sanitas Engagement Session - Boulder Engagement Photographer

Betsy, Connor and their adorable puppy Teddy during their Mount Sanitas engagement session!

I’ve been dreaming of summer lately (actually, let’s get real here, I dream of summer year round, as it’s in my Cuban blood) and have been literally counting down the days to this Sunday, which is daylight savings. Of course, I say I’m super excited for longer days now, but I’m not entirely sure how Luna’s 7 PM bedtime will fly when the sun is going down at 9 (thank god for blackout shades). Still, I think I prefer those consequences over the winter 4 pm sunsets. Those kill me.

Anywho, this session has me thinking a lot about summer engagement sessions and some of the fun places I want to check out this year once the trails are officially snow free. I have a wedding down in Buena Vista later this year and I think it would be super fun to kill two birds and check out the Great Sand Dunes while we are down there. Another spot that I’ve also never spent time in is Ouray, so Woody and I were talking about taking a few days to make the trek and do some camping (and photograph some awesome folks!) out there.

Apart from summer, this hiking engagement session also has me thinking about wildflower season. I always thought you had to venture deep into the mountains to catch a glimpse of some gorgeous blooms, but as I found out last summer, you can find some right here on the front range. This engagement session was at Mount Sanitas in Boulder, and these blue flowers were a total surprise, since I wasn't expecting them. Connor and Betsy brought their adorable puppy Teddy and he even wore a bowtie. I can't deal when clients bring their pups, it's so stinkin cute! Anyways, enough out of me, enjoy this couples session, and keep an eye out for Connor and Betsy's wedding later this year!

Snowy Colorado Engagement Session - Golden Colorado Engagement Photographer - Nik and Tani

Tani & Nik, dancing in the snow!

This engagement shoot was one of those that was totally last minute, totally unplanned, and at the mercy of the Colorado weather. If you have ever lived in Colorado, you know that when the weather man tells you it’s going to snow, you take that with a grain of salt, because it could just as easily be sunny and 70 degrees. But this time, the weather gods came through, and we were looking at a snowy afternoon for Nik and Tani’s mountain engagement session.

Nik and Tani are fellow transplants from Miami who traded the beach for the mountains, like me. It always feels good to hang out with former Miamians because they just...KNOW. They know how much nicer people are out here. They get it when I say that "I need a croqueta like yesterday". They know what I mean when I refer to something as menial as driving to the store for milk as “a mission”. So of course, it was a blast. Honestly, I’m not quite sure who had more fun during this session, but I’m willing to bet it was me, because I laughed so hard during their epic snowball fight. When I told them they should have a snowball fight, I was not expecting this level of...vigor? Determination? I don’t know, because all of my adjectives are failing me now, but regardless it was ruthless and I’m pretty sure they were soaked by the end from all the snow - not to mention that it was FREEZING, so props to them for enduring the weather and being troopers!
