Spring in Colorado can be full of fickle weather. One morning it can snow and then by the afternoon it is sunny and warm. I crossed my fingers for good weather for the few days I was in the Denver area for various shoots. Well thank goodness the finger crossing worked. The days were incredibly beautiful with warmer temperatures. Just as soon as I got back to South Carolina, Jane text me to let me know that it was cold and snowing again…wonderful and perfect timing! Whew.
Brian and Jane wanted to have an engagement session in Colorado at some of their favorite spots since the wedding will be in New Orleans. We started the day off at the Denver Botanical Gardens and then headed out to Red Rocks. We originally had it planned to go to 4 locations, however each location had so many amazing places within itself that we had a very full day going to two. When Jane asked if they could bring their dogs Koda and Kiska, I said “ABSOLUTELY”. So, on our way to Red Rocks we stopped by their house to pick up Koda & Kiska and a change of clothes.
The first location at Red Rocks had a perfectly shaped rock for an awesome background, BUT there were signs saying the area was closed due to rattlesnakes. Brian tried to convince both Jane and I that they weren’t out this time of year, even though we saw a skin of what looked like a very large rattler! Yikes. I had such a great time with you two and I cannot wait for the wedding in New Orleans 🙂
Please enjoy a handful of images and just below them, a slideshow highlighting the day.

The sun was up but the temperatures were down. In fact, it was down-right cold! We had to stop occasionally to warm cold noses and hands, but Ervin & Katie were troopers toughing out the cold morning. The good thing is that we moved around a lot and even ran a little which warmed us up. Katie wanted to have a country setting for her session and having a barn would be an added bonus. The location was perfect for their day. Katie was smiling and laughing so much and her beautiful smile was captured in many of the photos. Ervin was full of ideas and suggestions and really was so much fun to work with. I even joked and asked if he wanted to assist me on other shoots!

Below are a few images from the session followed by the slideshow. Enjoy.

Thanks for stopping by.
