The coronavirus has forced us all to do life differently. And us portrait and event photographers are seriously missing the ability to do photo shoots with our clients. After all, the actual act of taking pictures is what inspired us to get into this profession in the first place. I don’t think any of us thought, “I want to spend my days figuring out quarterly sales tax, organizing social media posts, or trying to get those late payments from clients taken care of.” LOL I

Ann & Matt’s Autumn Wedding in Silverthorne, Colorado the 1st look You never know what weather October is going to bring in Colorado, especially in the high altitude of Summit County.   The day before their wedding the sun was shining and temperatures were in the pleasant 50’s.  No one expected to wake up the next morning to 30 degree temps and snow covering the ground.  It was gorgeous, but cold!  But no worries for this laid back couple, Ann & Matt stayed relaxed and in hig

nothing but love Stephanie & Doug love the outdoors and one of their favorite pastimes is hiking around Rocky Mountain National Park.  So for their engagement session we trekked up to RMNP in Estes Park, CO to take a once in a lifetime hike as I documented their love for each other and love for the mountains.   OK so this was really more of a walk with lots of driving, but we had lots of scenic landscapes to get to before the sun set and we lost all our daylight.   The first

Melissa & Chris wanted to do their engagement pictures where they hang out most, in their neighborhood along South Broadway.  I happen to live, and also hang out a lot, in the same neighborhood so I was really excited to do their engagement pictures around here.  We were lucky it was a nice warm day and we still had some fall color on the trees.  We had fun walking up and down the strip and stopping for pictures along the unique boutiques and shops along the way.  We had to s

Caitlin and Patrick’s Picture Preview Caitlin and Patrick recently held their wedding at Blackstone Country Club in Aurora, Colorado.  With all the rain we’ve been getting in Colorado this summer I was a little nervous of another rainy weather day, but luckily all the storm clouds stayed far enough away to allow for a beautiful wedding day.

Happy Halloween For Halloween I thought it would be fitting to share these dark gothic steampunk images I took a few months ago while in London.  I photographed Faith’s steampunk wedding in Denver a few years ago and she moved to London shortly thereafter.  Faith has an amazing collection of steampunk clothing and accessories and I just happened to be traveling to London so it worked out great to do this photo shoot with her while I was there.  The city of London was a perfec

The day before Diane’s Texas themed birthday party it was snowing and freezing cold, but the decorations still went up and more heaters were on demand to prepare for the following day’s event. Luckily, by the next day the snow had melted and the tent had warmed up comfortably. The big screen started working just in time to catch the second half of the Bronco’s killer game, the bull was saddled and ready to be ridden, the armadillo was ready to be eaten (cake that is), and D

On Tuesday, the first day of autumn, I took a photo road trip with my friend Stephanie who was in town from New Orleans and our friend Kendall who was our fabulous tour guide. We drove out to Kenosha Pass which is recommended as the best spot for fall pictures in Colorado. We had a lot of fun taking pictures and just being silly girls with no agenda. We had to take a fisheye self-portrait at every stop and the sun even came out for 30 seconds, just long enough to get a fun

website & letterhead.  For the past few years I was naively under the impression that as an artist I could design my own website, logo, etc…Well, I finally caved in and went with a professionally made flash website (for my wedding section, still working on the site for my fine art, portraiture, & other photo work).  And I recently decided I also needed a professional designer to do a new logo to go with my new name.  I changed my business name from Nicole Marie Photography to
