Bucking Horse & Jessup Artisan Village for Builder Magazine

September 1, 2015 by Christina Leave a Comment

Last month the publishers of Builder magazine asked if I could go photograph the new and upcoming Bucking Horse community. Deadline, check. Budget, check. A little puzzled as to someone would pick me to photograph architecture, I said, “You have looked at my website, right? You saw my work?” Yes, they said, and send over an invoice. Still totally puzzled, I did the shoot and sent over proofs. When they chose this among the shots to run in the article, I started thinking maybe I understand.

Normal architecture-focused photographers would probably not photograph the dog in the front yard. Maybe they chose me because I’m so focused on and in love with living, breathing stuff that they figured I’d find it even among the buildings.

I don’t really know. Maybe I’m totally wrong and it’s just that no one else was available. See the article on how incredibly cool Bucking Horse is, and the rest of my photos here: Builder Online

Rebecca’s Fort Collins Senior Pictures

July 30, 2014 by Christina Leave a Comment

Rebecca is a quiet, soft-spoken girl who is wicked smart. Valedictorian smart. And she’s a goofball. And she’s gorgeous.

We started out at Primp Hair Boutique for Rebecca’s hair and makeup. Then we headed over to Fort Collins City Park a couple hours before sunset. It’s a time photographers refer to as “golden hours” for its beautiful rosy, soft light.

Fort Collins Professional Head Shots – Anna

May 22, 2013 by Christina Leave a Comment

Anna career has been as a sales trainer in big corporations, and now she’s ready for something different. She’s going out on her own, and needs photos for her consulting business that would communicate her. Having heard through the local grapevine that my approach to portrait photography, and especially for business, is a little different she came to me. When you’re getting photos for your business, you have to keep your brand in mind. You need photographs that communicate you appropriately – whether your brand is hip, reliable, fun, trustworthy, or classy. If you’re a divorce lawyer, you don’t really want your business head shot to you wearing a low-cut shirt and a big toothy smile. Right?

So here are Anna’s photos. What do they communicate to you?

Sarah & Tom, Eloped!

April 9, 2012 by Christina Leave a Comment

Fort Collins, Colorado is the Beer Drinkers’ Napa Valley… and Sarah and Tom came here from St. Louis, MO to elope in their Napa. They eloped at the court house one sunny morning, exactly two years after they’d met, “to make anniversaries easy” Sarah quipped. Sarah is equal parts playful and cautious, loving stability and giggling at herself for her quirky habits. Tom is her perfect mate, playful, easy-going and happy to provide that stability.

Sarah’s laughter was fantastic. She’s one those people who laughs with their whole being… so gorgeous, and so much fun to be around.

We met and began the Elopement Photo Session at ODell’s Brewery. Sarah and Tom shared some drinks and laughs there while the hottest part of the day passed.

When we got outside, this beautiful beer truck was waiting… so of course, Sarah hopped on!

After ODells, we went out to some of Fort Collins’ gorgeous open space to get some photos with that Colorado feel. This open space area is a popular doggie walking area, and we got visited by several pooches while there. I almost keeled over when one dog jumped up on Sarah’s white dress, but lucky for me, she loves dogs! She laughed and I promised to retouch any visible marks in Photoshop. Whew!

Gorgeous, right?

Our last photo stop was New Belgium Brewery, where we got the crowd to toast Sarah and Tom’s wedding! Big thanks to Sarah and Tom for being so easy and fun to photograph! Congratulations and I hope to see you guys back in Fort Collins soon!
