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.

my nyc.

this is my personal new york. the view from the 35th floor, the best shower in the history of planet earth, another from my Francesca buzz, and watching celebrity ghost stories and eating crumbs cupcakes with rachel, and the best ferry ride of all time. i did a lot of things, but these are the memories that stand out the most. not your average "i went to new york cityyyyyy" photos, i know... they're just for me!

just one from a little francesca-inspired session with myself in new york.

chelsea + bobby

a little snippet of the lovely Chelsea & Bobby... from our adventure to find the perfect spot in downtown Denver. i have this thing about putting photos together but not stitching them... it has such an old-school, nostalgic quality to it. le sigh.

shot with the lovely carrie of carrie swails photography.

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!

american gothic.

too good not to share from this weekend's plethora of shoots....

anyone who knows me knows that I have a real thing for "american gothic" style photos. these two happily obliged, and with brilliant results! more of their REAL photos coming soon, i just had to get this one out there!

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.

DU crit

it occurred to me that i didn't post any of these, what a goof i am!! a few sundays ago, i had the great fun of watching erik and clayton race together once again at the crit put on in downtown Denver by DU.























both of those big sweetiesssss:


i just love caroline's gestures when talking, hahah:


another great day spent with great people.

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.
