I had a great time getting to know and photograph the Holmes Family deep in the Gore range near Vail, Colorado. It was a perfect summer evening in the mountains. I really like taking a couple or a family out to an amazing location where they have never been and capturing them enjoying a really fun and exciting environment for the first time. We are creating a custom 8 sided accordion folded holiday card for the Holmes family to share the beauty of Colorado with all their family and friends as well as an amazing collection of wall decor pieces for their home. And last but not least is a custom storybook handmade in Italy featuring all their favorite images.
A classically Colorado family portrait. This is the format of out Platt fine art wall piece. I really love this proportion for mountain portraits. It allows the environment to be shown in its full grandeur.
This is a closer image but still really works well in the Platt wall art piece. It is hard to beat summer in the Colorado high country.
Isn’t she so cute! It is easy to get images of happy kids because they really are happy and having fun: picking flowers, throwing rocks in the lake and seeing a real moose in the wild. This is way more fun for them than in a dark studio inside somewhere.
She is having a blast! I really like this setting and I think she does too. This is a great image to document the wonder and excitement of this time in her life.
Playing in the deep grass.
This is one of my favorites. Great sense of place and family unity. I really like the dog leading the way down the trail - how typical. This is going to look great on their Christmas card as one of the main images.
Da Moose is on the loose..... This guy was grazing around the lake during our shoot. Moose in Colorado are pretty rare, I have a few go to Moose locations but this was a great surprise. It was nice of him to give me a smile for this image.
