it's a new day, in all senses of the word.

who knew i would come out of my new shell and into my own photos once again?
several major updates are coming, watch out.

hilary + john

i know you have all seen my "american gothic" style photo of them..... but these two were so fun and so in love. not all couples will let you drive them out to the middle of nowhere, hike a mile to a giant field (that was chock full of cacti) and then not hesitate to go for it in the middle of nowhere for an outfit change. i cannot WAIT for their wedding this month!!!! without further ado, hilary & john!

an update.

My apologies for the supreme lack of posts... life became a whirlwind that kind of swallowed me whole! Between my two vacations in the span of three weeks, my sometimes 60 hour work weeks, and the photoing I've been doing, I abandoned my lovely blog. My weekend goal is to get all caught up on life events and photo blogging before our two weddings this week.... so be expecting photos from Indiana, NYC, two fabulous couples, and a metal band, very sooooon! For now, i'm going to throw some instagram up from the last month so you can see all the serious love and fun I have going on in my life, from going back home again to indiana, to a few of a fabulous shoot we did (please note my american gothic face), my first Avery experience, and a select few from my visit to New York City.

plane ride to indiana.
so in love.

back home again in indiana.
the sample gates get me every time.

TEDDY AND JIMMY!

lucky number 34.

e.brodell and little teddy are besties.

Sweet sonne and little teddy, i just die! teddy is really a show-stealer, if you can't tell.

race faces from the boys... tim, kevin, sam, and thomas. so squishable.

best.event.ever.

hilary & john's fabulous e-session

my own personal american gothic.

my boss insisted on being the first person to take me to her favorite brewery in town.

BEST SHOWER EVER.
my favorite part of NYC was taking my coffee in there every morning and looking out at the skyline. so good.

sunrise in nyc from our manhattan apartment.

nyc from the staten island ferry, the cheapest way to see the skyline.

at the francesca woodman exhibit, soloman's museum.














 

a fabulous afternoon spent at the louisville crit. for all my midwestern people, the colorado louisville is pronounced totally different... it's "lewis-ville" instead of the kentucky louisville, which is more like "luuahhvull".
just one for now.

surprisingly, erik and i had some time off together (which NEVER EVER happens) last week, and we made a grand day of it. breakfast at a great cafe, followed by hiking up flagstaff with the pooch.












it's so fabulous... i couldn't wake up and go hike a mountain in the morning in indiana... it's just amazing here; the sky is bluer than anywhere i've ever seen. loving it here, so much.

just another day in paradise.

My favorite Fridays

the first friday of every month is pretty much my favorite friday every month.... the little velodrome in boulder holds a pretty great evening of racing, complete with beer from the wonderful Oskar Blues brewery just outside of boulder. it's always a good time with good people, and i must say, one of my favorite events is the kids' race... it's almost as good as putting down dollar bets on the races at the bloomington speedway (ahem, geraint)!

enjoy highlights from my favorite friday evenings.































also, i realize that i should be doing more photo-ing of race things.
