Lisa & Joe :: Engaged ::

Is it just me or do we all feel like we are 100% working for the weekend at this point in the year? Maybe it's the 70 degree weather we're having? Or the prospect of doing something other than sitting at desks and pecking at keyboards........

This next shoot is one that epitomizes why I love weekends, amazing weather ... and being a photographer. Lisa was in town two weeks ago to visit Joe, her fiancé. Joe is in the Army, stationed in the Springs and was just a few days away from deploying. During their visit, Lisa and Joe chose to drive up to the Denver area for a predeployment/engagement shoot with me! We had big plans for three locations...Red Rocks, Larimer Sq and the Oriental Theater. The days leading up to their shoot were perfect. Even the hours leading up to the shoot were perfect. And literally as Joe and Lisa pulled into Red Rocks - it started HAILING! Hail? Really, Colorado? But just as fast as the hail came in it blew out and left us with a beautiful afternoon. Thank the Lord.

Thank you Joe and Lisa for such a fun shoot and for tromping around town. I am excited to share some of my favs with you. Enjoy. And Joe - thank you and stay safe.

Finally Friday :: Already March

Oh, well hello Mid-March 2012. Absolutely shocked to see you, but pleased, just the same.

 

So as you very well know, the regretfully bad news is, I've been withholding images from you for over [gasp] six months. eeeesh. But the great news is, just because my blog is bare doesn't mean I don't have anything to share! (Do you see what I did there?). On the contrary, I have been blessed with an abundance of shoots and stellar clients this year and am looking forward to finally giving you an in depth showcase of what's been happening here at Sarah Hildebrandt Photography, including a little looksie into the beginnings of my very own naturally lit indoor studio space at my new abode.

 

First up in 2012 is a look at my most recent session with the lovely Patton family through Operation Love. The Patton family and I met at one of my favorite spots near Colorado Springs, Fountain Creek Regional Park. And we lucked out with a gorgeous day and perfect light - the best mixture for capturing some sweet moments of this adorable family before their obviously loved father/husband/son, Kevin, deploys at the end of March. 

 

Enjoy. xo.
