Remember Gina? …Of course you do! She was the bride of the amazing Lyons Farm Wedding (think: tandem bike ride post-ceremony, chickens, family style BBQ, a live bluegrass band, perfectly-designed invitations, etc. etc. etc.). Last month Gina and her sister Stephanie launched a cupcakery called Swell Cupcakes–the most delicious cupcakes I’ve had in Colorado (I’ve had lots!). 

At the beginning of December Swell Cupcakes introduced three new winter flavors–gingerbread, winter wonderland, and peppermint hot chocolate–all of which I had the pleasure of photographing (and then devouring in an embarassingly short amount of time).  Here are a few shots of their winter flavors. So beautiful aren’t they? I love cupcakes.

**deliciousness alert** there is GANACHE inside the peppermint hot chocolate cupcake. (!) 

Jim and I recently photographed a few of the great doctors and happy patients of Boulder Community Hospital for their annual report.  Here are a few of the shots in the final printed report: 

 A couple months ago I was contacted by Grand Circle Travel in Boston, who was putting together a magazine article on the travel-inspired wood-carvings of  Harry (a talented artist living in northern Colorado).  It was an amazing opportunity for me, not just to visit Harry’s wood-working studio and photograph him at work, but also to get to know Harry (quite possibly the friendliest person I have ever met) and see his passion for his work. A detail from the piece that was being featured in the magazine, which kind-of reminded me of the ivory carvings that I used to drool over in my art history classes (especially the one of Justinian riding his horse in triumph–just in case anyone else wants to be an art history nerd with me…)

Tim is a talented singer / composer / performer, and needed some updated headshots and photos for his promotional materials.  Though Colorado weather has recently been cold and snowy we lucked out with a nice sunny day and got some great photos:

Earlier this summer an ad agency in Boulder (Crispin Porter + Bogusky) hired me and Jim to photograph a few children for a Volkswagen ad they’re putting together, which will be running in the Verizon Center in Washington D.C. (the Wizard’s stadium).  Though commerical photography/studio setting is not what I would typically consider my “normal” realm, I rarely turn down the opportunity to work with new types of clients and explore new territory.  I was thrilled to have the opportunity to work on a national ad, and enjoyed working with all of the talented designers and artists at Crispin Porter.

Here’s one of the first kids from the shoot…and in case you’re looking at his face thinking….WOW….Angie must be the most boring photographer alive….that was the look the art director was going for in the ad campaign….(the kids were SUPPOSED to look bored/tired/lost/confused)
