Our last day in the mountains of Colorado was capped off with a “Tour of Mt. Holy Cross”. This ended up being one of my all time favorite hikes in Colorado. Extremely challenging but we were rewarded with some of the greatest views I have ever experienced out there. We basically circled around the mountain, via the “Halo Ridge”. Awesome…
A few images from downtown, Frisco, Colorado. Really nice main street. I had only been through here before, usually on our way to Breckenridge or Leadville. We stayed in Frisco during our time in Colorado and it turned out to be a great little town.
This was our second day in the mountains. We did the West Ridge of Mount Quandary. Matt and I did this ridge last year, and it was fun taking a couple of guys that hadn’t done it before. It was an interesting day, our group climbed up a trail that doesn’t get much use. The main trail was packed, over 500 people on the mountain that day. It was kind of demoralizing getting to the summit by ourselves and then having to walk down the main trail with all those people. This first image is from the van, on the way to the trailhead.
This is Kenton’s favorite way to rest while hiking. He has his own “move” patented!
This is the West Ridge of Quandary. We literally zip up this to the summit. Cool stuff.
The guys at work on the ridge. Lots of scree and long drops to contend with.
Another incredible trip to Colorado over the last few days. I did end up with a sprained ankle, but all in all, simply incredible. I may have to post a few over the next several days! Lots of great photo opportunities. There were six of us in the group, good friends sharing a great experience. These are from our first day, the summit of Mount Huron.
We celebrated Austin’s Birthday on Tuesday. 14 is an awesome age. A whole lot of life ahead of him! We love you.
I shot this image while in the middle of a senior session. I was waiting for the client to change, and noticed some really cool light inside a garage. This was actually shot through the glass, I just held the lens right up to the window and snapped a quick frame. I would really like to get inside this place sometime. Could be a really cool exploration! I like old cars, tools and with that cool light shining in, gives it a timeless feel.
An image from a training session we had on Saturday. We have a fairly new apparatus at T-78. One of our main responsibilities is to protect exposures from further fire spread. Throwing water can be a complicated process and it is always good to be proficient at your job, so training with the apparatus is a great way to do that.
I don’t think I have ever had a ‘twins’ senior session before? These girls were a blast to work with. It definitely made for a little longer session, but boy did we get some great images last night.
Friday evening we were treated to a great dinner and fellowship. My wife looked great and I was finally able to get her to pose for a couple of images. Good stuff.
This little guy was fun, but challenging! Not too many 2 year olds like to sit still and get pictures. He couldn’t have been better and I think we were able to call the session a success!
