Fall in Nederland is perfect for portraits!

Posted on October 8, 2015 by rich vossler

This fall in Colorado has been a photographer’s playground. The weather has been wonderful and the colors are truly amazing. It is almost as if anything I point my camera at comes out awesome……

We recently shot a portrait session up near Nederland, Colorado on a foggy Sunday morning that looked anything but a good day to shoot. Drizzle, gray, cool and cloudy was what the morning offered down in Denver. Hanging clouds, muted light and color would be ok….but there is always the potential to rise above the clouds here on the front range.

The gamble more than paid off and traveling up a cloud socked Boulder Canyon, the sun started to show through. Arriving in Nederland to find crystal clear blue skies and an unbelievable color palette to place an awesome couple in made the day.

A little girl, growing up fast.

I can tell you from experience, there is nothing that makes time fly faster than having a child. It takes amazing effort to stay present, be aware and just enjoy every moment that you can. Before you know it they have grown up!

I recently had the opportunity to photograph a beautiful young lady and her parents that started as clients years ago, when they interviewed me to photograph their wedding, and have now become friends. An engagement shoot, wedding, newborn and a number of family sessions have led to this body of work. This is the kind of experience that makes the job great. To be able to capture these precious life moments is a great honor and I appreciate being the one chosen to do it.

Thank you, young lady & your super parents, for including me in this journey!

A Flower Girl…..Finally

Posted on January 10, 2012 by rich vossler

Well, it has been a long time in the making but our daughter is going to be a flower girl. This has been a dream for her in her short life and now that dream will come true. Her cousin will be married this summer and was kind enough to fold under the pressure and ask Elsa if she was up to the task. Is she ever! Our first step was to go and try on dresses and what better place to go then to our friends at Marie James in Bonnie Brea. Marie James offers a beautiful selection of bridal party gowns and specializes in making each client feel like a princess. Sally and Katie were great and Elsa had a super time trying on everything they offered that was even close to her size. We went on a Saturday that seemed to be pretty busy. All of the other clients were pleased to step away from the mirrors so that Elsa could see how she looked. We found loads of good options and her cousin should have plenty to choose from. What a day for an excited young lady.

Katie & Chris…..Wild Basin Lodge

Posted on September 16, 2011 by rich vossler

Yet another great couple, Katie & Chris, at Wild Basin Lodge. Again, I was helping out my friend Dave Russell, shooting with his amazingly talented daughter, Meghan. It is definitely worth the time to check out Meghan’s awesome work at Visual Poetry by Meghan. This day at Wild Basin was at times wild to say the least. Right about the time the ceremony was to begin in “The Meadow”, Mother Nature decided to send in a very gusty yet short shower to seal the lucky couples wedding commitment. It was exciting to see and hear the umbrellas blow out backwards if an unlucky guest let the wind get in. Well, the storm quickly passed, the couple was pronounced and as the song my daughter loves goes……”out came the sun and dried up all the rain”. We were treated to some amazing light and a fabulous double rainbow, which made for some awesome images. What a wild day to remember.
