Breckenridge Family Portrait Session

moodeous — Wed, 25 Aug 2010 14:55:19 +0000

You know whats awesome? Meeting other charismatic fun and easygoing photographers! You know what feels kind of weird and vaguely terrifying? Being photographed as a pro photographer by a pro photographer! So for Whitney I’m sure this shoot was a mix of awesome, weird and terrifying. I know, because recently I’ve been in FRONT of other people’s cameras and IT. WAS. BIZARRE. Enough banter from me. Meet the fabulous Whitney Loibner, a photog out of Little Rock, and her achingly adorable family. I had the distinct pleasure of meeting them in Breckenridge while they were traveling on vacation and despite the rain storm that attempted to ruin our shoot we rocked it out anyway. Whitney and her husband were total champs and by the end of the session we were all totally soaked. But from these photos, it was totally worth it! Check out the Loibner’s fab style in the photos below. I LOVE the color and outfit combos

Yelperstitious Event Photos – No Bad Luck Here!

moodeous — Sat, 14 Nov 2009 14:49:30 +0000

Yelp hosted a stellar event last night (Friday the 13th) at Jet Hotel in Denver. Instead of fretting, everyone braved the rush hour snow fall and embraced the dubious day. Psychics told fortunes and Deschutes Brewery kept everyone’s whistle wet. Here are a few highlights below, but you can find all the photos online by clicking here! If you were at the event you can get free hi-res image emailed to you. Just click to fan me on facebook and send me your image number!

Cleverly named libations to ward off bad luck!

The swanky Jet bar

Tricky lucky four leaf clover coins

Ouija boards, card readings and ladders oh my!

Gift Bags Galore

Showing off the goods

Before everyone arrived I had my cards read. From left to right: My Past-Judgment, My Present-Peace, My Future-Prince of Wands. Oooohhhhh.

Delicious sweets were everywhere! The cupcakes were provided by Lovely Confections.

Some people really love cupcakes. Or moodeous photography. Whichever

Inside the Gift Bags were these AMAZING lunch pails. Inside there’s a super cool thermos. SUPER COOL.

Last night I met someone. His name is “Consumer Bear”. He’s pretty cute and apparently he has his own show on You Tube.

The infamous Tiffany. No not THAT Tiffany. Former Yelp Community Manager Tiffany.

Our current and ever so esteemed Community Manager Laura on the mic, giving out props and prizes!

Somewhere along the night, inspired by my friends Jess and Kevin’s displays of affection the idea to ask people to, ahem, “make out” on camera came about. Surprisingly, pretty much everyone was game to give me their interpretation!

The event was a huge success, hope everyone had as much fun as I did!

I spy Siesta Key… Florida Travel Photos!

moodeous — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 16:59:43 +0000

Here is Drew and my collective effort to take some photos at Siesta Key. The white sand beaches and blue green water were gorgeous, but Ida was whipping the wind and sand around pretty violently so we grabbed a few photos and stashed the camera right quick! Drew was fond of the one footed Seagull and took the two photos on the right. Notice the poor guy is missing his left foot!

The Legend of the Bell

moodeous — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 22:46:56 +0000

During our travels in Florida we saw a lot of motorcyclists enjoying the warm weather and sunny skies. I’ve never ridden a motorcycle myself, but I have a handful of relatives with some beautiful Harley Davidsons and a penchant for the open road. In the parking lot of Solomon’s Castle I was admiring a lovely specimen of a bike when I saw a bell strapped between the fork (at least that’s what us non-motorized cyclists call it). It was small, delicate and spattered with a bit of rust. I couldn’t imagine why someone who sported a black and chrome behemoth bike, smacking of masculinity and devil-may-care attitude would attach something so wistful to the hulking vehicle.

So of course I googled it.

Before I’d finished typing “bell on m..”, google auto suggested the word motorcycle and took me to this page, where I read the following:

“It has been a tradition among some of us for a long time to attach a brass bell to our left swing arm, to remember our brothers and sisters who have gone down riding.

It’s a small thing, but the reason a brass bell is chosen is that, as we ride, it gets dirty and tarnished. Every time we get down to wash and polish it, we are reminded of friends lost, and our thoughts turn to the meaning of being in the wind.

As we ride and hear the bell ring, we know that our brothers and sisters are riding with us, and how easy it would be to join them with a single mistake.

And maybe, just maybe, the next time a situation comes up; they will be there to help us…as long as we remember them by polishing the bell.”

I suppose the lesson I take with this little bell today is that maybe, just maybe, I should think before making judgment. Despite knowing many a motorcycle aficionado (my mother used to run with some Hells Angels type in her younger days) it’s hard to imagine these rugged, long haired, “others” may really be family-men, sons, mothers, doctors, or who knows what. They’re just like me and you, people who have loved and lost, looking for a little Angelic guidance along the way.

Solomon’s Castle

moodeous — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 23:37:47 +0000

About an hour east of Sarasota Florida, among the cattle ranches and orange groves, Howard Solomon has built his castle. It glistens in the bright afternoon sun, nearly blinding, covered in aluminum printing plates. It is a sight to behold!

Sweeeeeeet Florida!

moodeous — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 16:36:40 +0000

Drew and I are out in Florida for a week and it is splendid! We’re staying with Drew’s grandparents in Sarastoa and we’ve had a lovely few days relaxing, swimming, reading and eating great meals. Yesterday I finished my Scuba certification and today we’re going to visit Solomon’s Castle where Drew is getting a photo lesson. Tomorrow I’ll try to post some of his photos!

Kids Portraits – Denver Aquarium

moodeous — Sat, 24 Oct 2009 03:23:30 +0000

I love tagging along with families during their daily activities and turning them into photo shoots. It presents a lot of challenges, but it’s a great opportunity to capture real moments and kids being themselves. It’s also fun, because I get to go places like Denver Botanic Gardens or the zoo. A couple weeks ago I took my first trip to the Denver Aquarium. What a coooool place! It’s called an “Underwater Adventure” and there’s everything from a swamp with ducks and a flash flood to a jungle with a tiger surrounded by a piranha filled moat! Here are a few of my favorite pics of the day. More to come!
