Last Thursday I had the opportunity to give back to my community. I participated in volunteering my time to Flat Irons Community Church to photograph an event called Shine. It was one of the most moving and inspirational nights of my career. It was an event where the proud got humbled and the humble got elevated. The idea was to throw a prom for disabled people in the community. It was a prom for those people that weren’t invited or able to go to their own prom. The age range was from 18-88 and they had 400 people come to the event. I was blown away by the preparation that went into this event. Everything was donated including the food, decor, photography, attire for guests, carnival games and so much more! To view a small video clip of this event you can click on this SLIDESHOW link. Most of the night I worked a portrait station with Sarah and Pilar. The best part was making the guests feel special, loved and honored. My portrait team girls were so sweet. I did run out to the dance floor for a few candid shots.

This was a fun shoot to do on an early Thursday morning. I photographed a group of doctors just getting ready to finish their residency at St. Joseph’s Hospital. Every so often I do commercial job shoots. I always love the lighting challenges and trying to arrange a large group of people. This shoot was no exception. I had about 5-10 minutes to arrange and shoot this picture. Of course I showed up early to get set up. By the time everyone arrived I just positioned each person and it was done in no time at all.
I decided to post a few shots from a couple of events I photographed last year. I was in awe of who I got to meet and photograph, I can’t believe it took me this long to post them. I have photographed a charity event for the American Transplant Foundation, Brownstein-Hyatt-Farber-Schreck and The Creative Coalition. They planned the event during the DNC in Denver. I bet you will recognize a few familiar faces.
