Angell Family

This past Saturday was pretty busy - as I had another family session with another adorably cute family - the Angell's. How polite were there kids... they were all just so well mannered and full of energy, I think I'll need to start drinking an energy drink before my shoots. I had a such great time with them and can't wait for next time. Below are some of the sample images from their shoot. Brian/Erin - your family was such a pleasure to work with can't wait to do it again... :)

Carlson Family

This past Saturday I had the pleasure to take pictures for a very cute family - the Carlson's. It was a nice cool day which was perfect for a photo session, we met at a local park and had a fun time chasing the kiddos around. Here is a sample of some of their images.

October PS LOVE

Well this is something that I talked about in previous posts that I would be rolling out soon. PS LOVE - giving your pictures some Photoshop LOVE. This month is the 1st month that I'm rolling this out - so I hope that I get a good response.

Here's how it works if you'd like to participate in this months PS LOVE:

Pick out a favorite picture of yours that you really love - but would love to see what it would look like if a professional was able to put an artistic flare to your picture. Got a picture in mind? Good. Now I'll need you to email me (enoch@enochphotography.com) a full resolution picture - the higher the quality the better.

I'll choose my favorite picture for this month and give it some Photoshop Love and email the image back to you in full resolution. I'll post before and after images so that everyone can see who got some PS Lovin for the month and how there image turned out.

Now - get to finding a picture and send it to me... Please have your pictures to me by next Saturday - (10/20/07) - I'll post once I've completed the lovin... ;-)

Here's an example of a before and after image...

BEFORE: (not a bad picture as is... but add some PS Love to it...)



AFTER: (ah now the colors pop and the picture looks great...)

Beautiful eyes...

Last night (Wednesday) I had the pleasure to take pictures of such a beautiful little girl. She was such a neat little kid, full of energy. The pictures turned out great!... Can't wait for the opportunity to shoot the whole family.

Mount Manitou - We did it!

Last Wednesday was "Date Night" for Tara and I - we decided to have an adventure date and then go out to eat at Noodles Inc. Instead of a movie or just a walk we decided to tackle to Mantiou Incline - it was amazing.

Imagine thousands of steps, 1 mile straight up... 2000+' elevation gain.... average of 40% grade and a high of 68% grade.

Imagine starting at 6574' and climbing to 8585'. Some do it under 15-30 mins, running. Some take 3 hours. There are about 5,000 railroad ties.

If it were a ski slope, it would be a “black” run — that’s how steep it is. And that’s how potentially dangerous it is, said officials for the owners, the Manitou and Pikes Peak Cog Railway. The railroad track was built into the side of a mountain in the shadow of Pikes Peak in the early 1920s. A train carted tourists to the top until a rock slide wiped out a portion of the track in the late 1980s A few years later, the tracks were dismantled, leaving only the railroad ties.

It was about that time when the hikers showed up. And they won’t leave. On any weekend, hundreds of them, if not thousands, walk right by the “No Trespassing” sign as they start their grueling ascent. It is about heart...it is about courage...it is about a personal challenge.

Hiking, running, walking, or crawling up the Incline is tough...nothing easy about it. Sure, it's not Everest...but it's tough. Some people do it daily, some do it once in a lifetime. Tara and I decided to attempt the feat and we kicked butt... well kicked butt in 1.5 hours... next week we do it again!..






This is from the fire last week - really devastated the land.




We DID IT! Ahhh what a grueling trek!

Beautiful Children...

Last week on Thursday I had a wonderful session with some great kids. They were so lively and energetic and so so cute. The family all together was adorable and I truly look forward to taking additional pictures of them in the years to come. Here are some of the images from the session.

This past weekend... Manitou Fire - Rockies...

So this past weekend was so much fun, other than working I actually got to do some fun things.

Friday
Once I got off of work we decided to head out to Manitou Springs for a nice walk around. However, I wasn't aware when we left to head out that there was a forest fire that started around there. Come to find out that earlier in the day the town was almost evacuated, but we found this out when we got there. With all the hoopla going on - we still had a great time...

Here are some cool shots -


You can see the fire burning in the mountains

Here's a shot of the helicopter dumping water on the fire.


This one is funny... my wife is a Vegetarian not really a VegAtarian...

A nice picture of Tara and Kenzie...


SATURDAY -

Scored some free tickets to the Colorado Rockies game which ended up being pretty good seats. They played the Arizona Diamondbacks and whipped them up... it was an awesome game. We got to walk around downtown Denver - it's real nice... can't wait to go up there again.
