Western Colorado Wedding | Callie + Cody

Callie and Cody celebrated their Western Colorado Wedding on June 2nd and guess who got to be their photographer?!  Oh yeah, that's right!  It's a total honor when asked to photograph a fellow colleague's nuptials.  It's even better when it's obvious that the couple is destined to be together and their love for one another is evident in every single photograph.  Mr. and Mrs. Rapke tied the knot on what felt like the hottest day of the year at the beautiful Absolute Prestige Limousine Ranch in Loma, CO.  Check out their beautiful details, decor and all the fun that was had!

Vista View Wedding | Kylar + Cooper

Kylar and Cooper planned the perfect Vista View wedding at one of the most amazing venues in all of western Colorado!  Surrounded by loved ones, Mr. and Mrs. Palmer said their I do's on May 18th overlooking Harvey Gap Reservoir near Silt/Rifle Colorado.  I have been waiting a year to photograph these two in such a pristine location!  The V.V.

Talk Thirty To Me! | Leah

You're never too old for a cake smash!  Not even when you are turning 30!  Hey, I may even attempt this for my 40th, haha!  The best part about a Grown-up cake smash is you get to have wine and Champagne, hell yes!!

Leah is a good friend who was one of the many medical professionals at Children's hospital who took care of my daughter, Hannah.  I'd do just about anything for Leah ;) 

And if anyone wants to do photos in Boulder, hit me up because Chautauqua Park is AMAZING!!  

Happiest of birthdays to you , LEAH!!  

Coal Ridge Senior | Emily

Coal Ridge Senior, Emily will also turn her tassel later today!  Later this fall she will be headed off to pursue a degree as a dental hygienist and she will also be playing volleyball.  (She's pretty good too, I might add!). I am really going to miss her and her funny sense of humor.  I call her my pig whisperer as she often baby sits my pig for me (she thinks the Pig hate her), haha!!  Good luck to you, Emily girl!!  I am so excited for you and your future!  Have fun today!

Coal Ridge HS | Santana

Coal Ridge HS Senior, Santana, is another who will graduate today with top honors in her class!  This 4 sport athlete received word not long ago that she is one of three at CR to be awarded the Daniels Scholarship!  For those who don't know, the Daniels Scholarship allows Santana to attend any college of her choice in the nation PAID IN FULL.  No doubt it took a lot of hard work, many essays and interviews to even be considered.  I personally think this is an incredible achievement for Tana and her parents must be over the moon with excitement!  

Congratulations, Santana!!  Go get em girl!!

My Shelby girl is another graduate who will walk tomorrow with Rifle High School!!  Shelby is another amazing dancer with the Full Throttle Dance Co. team that will be heading to Worlds this summer.  If you read my post about Kylee then you know exactly what I'm talking about ;).  Shelby plans to hang with me this summer and I learn what she can about the exiting life of Photography, maybe even assist me with a few weddings which I'm totally stoked about!  

Congrats, Shelby!!  Have so much fun this weekend and take lots of pictures!!

Coal Ridge Titans | Samantha

Remember, I told you that the Coal Ridge Titans are graduating tomorrow!  That includes this lady Titan right here, Samantha!  I spent a good part of the winter watching this young lady on the basketball court and if you didn't get to see her play then you totally missed out!  I might be a little bit biased as basketball is my jam ;)  She is also an avid soccer athlete and her and her team had a good season this year as well.  If you see Sam out and about this summer then please congratulate her on her future endeavors!  She will be headed CMU this fall with a few of her fellow classmates. 

Congratulations, Sam!!

Rifle Bears Senior | Kylee

Next up on my feature list is Rifle Bears Senior, Kylee!  She will be walking with her classmates tomorrow and turning her tassel in the direction of a bright future.  I have had the pleasure of getting to know Kylee very well over this past year and I won't even try to create a list of her accomplishments as it would take up an entire blog post.  She is an incredible young woman and an amazing dancer and cheerleader, if I might add!  Kylee is headed to the WORLD Dance Competition this summer in NJ with her fellow Full Throttle Dance Co. team mates!  This fall, she will then journey to CMU where she has made the college Cheerleading team!  Seriously, she's so amazing!  

By the way, if you can, please support the FTDC dancers as they have many fundraisers happening right now to help them get to Worlds.  Contact Kylee for more information on how you can help! 

Congrats, Kylee girl!!!  I'm really going to miss you but glad to know that you won't be far!
