Fun with flowers

A few weeks ago, I was asked to photograph the yard where I do many of my photoshoots. The owner is a dentist by day, gardener extraordinaire by night (and weekends). He wanted pictures to hang in his dental office. If you have seen any of my portraits, you have seen parts of his backyard. For fun, I tried some different artistic treatments on a few of them. Here are some of my favorites.

Dancing Queen {Denver ballet photographer}

Back in May I did portraits for the production of Cinderella put on by the On Pointe Studio of Dance located in Parker, Colorado. The lead in the play was the daughter of a friend of mine and she has given me permission to post her portrait (I can't post any others because I don't have model releases from the parents). This turned out so gorgeous. I wish I could post more, but this will have to do. I love doing the dance studio portraits because the girls all look so beautiful in their costumes. One of my goals as a photographer is to help people (girls especially) feel beautiful. As women and girls, we often are dissatisfied with our appearance. But if I can show someone how gorgeous they really are, it makes me so happy! This is for all you beautiful women and girls! You're all princesses!

June bloom {Denver Family Photographer}

Last Saturday, I got to photograph a beautiful family right in the middle of glorious blooming flowers. The colors everywhere were amazing, and the family has the most beautiful porcelain skin. We had a wonderful time together, and I think the dad even enjoyed himself :) I asked if he had been dragged to the shoot or if he came of his own free will. Like almost all men, he had been dragged, but in the end, he admitted that it hadn't been so bad :) Look at these BEAUTIFUL people!

And the winner is...

The Koenig Family! Congratulations!
I'll contact you and set up your session! Thanks for playing!

Last chance to win!

Name the country where this picture was taken. Winner will be announced on Monday!

Two chances to win today!

Time's up! The first one is the back of Notre Dame in Paris, and the second one is Paris at sunset.

Since I missed posting a picture yesterday, I'm posting two today. I'll post one more tomorrow, and then announce a winner on Monday! Good luck!

For the first picture, name the country where this building is located, and the name of the building for a second entry.

For this picture, name the city.

Try this one!

Time's up! It's the Netherlands!

All you have to do is name the country where this picture was taken. Good luck!

Where in the world?

Time's up! It's Westminster Abbey in London, England!

If you ever go to England, this is an absolute must-see. I had no idea it was so incredible. I wasn't allowed to take pictures inside, but that's where the real magic is. It is well worth the price of admission.

For today, name the country and the name of the building pictured below.

This one is really hard!

Time's up! It's weinerschnitzel in Germany!

If you are like me, you thought weinerschnitzel was a hot dog! I was surprised to find out that it is a cut of breaded, fried pork, served plain or with a variety of sauces. It was delicious!

You all are too smart! A lot of people guessed the last picture (I'm also doing this contest on Facebook) so I have a real doozy for you today. Guess the name of this dish and the country we were in while we were eating it. Good luck!

Guess what this picture is.

Time's up! The answer is The London Eye!

I've posted more pictures of this landmark below!

Since yesterday's was so easy, I had to do something much more difficult today. One entry for the right country, one entry for the name of the structure. Good luck!
