What better way to spend Father’s Day than with your three kids acting silly in front of the camera. A few weeks ago I was hired to photograph this really fun family’s children’s portraits at their home in the Tamarac area of town. The two little ones are twins and the photos were for their one year birthday that their grandmother wanted to capture. We did some inside just having fun on the bed, we did some outside playing with their footballs and soccer balls and crawling around in the yard, and we came back inside to do some more with them eating. Their mom and dad wanted to get some “action” shots of them having fun with their food. I went away with a lot of really great shots and ended up delivering 100 great ones to them, which definitely exceeds the norm for a regular portrait session, but how could I not include so many when they were so cute!

Rachel and Scott’s Wedding- June 21, 2008

Brian Kraft — Mon, 07 Jul 2008 22:14:49 +0000

I’ve put up some of the photos from Rachel and Scott’s wedding. It was a fun time– a little more of an emphasis on “family reunion” than your average wedding. It was held right in Rachel’s parents’ backyard. Folks came from New Zealand (Rachel and Scott, and their entertainment), Oklahoma, Kansas, Colorado, and maybe a few other places as well.

Architecture in Denver

Brian Kraft — Mon, 30 Jun 2008 22:42:27 +0000

I recently went around Denver with a focus on the wonderful architecture Denver has to offer. The city is filled with such an interesting range of styles from such varying time periods. I only spent a handful of hours photographing, but a photographer could spend a lifetime capturing the amazing structures and details in this town. For couples with upcoming weddings that are doing engagement sessions, keep this urban playground in mind for location options to get some really fun images!

Rachel and Scott- Engagement

Brian Kraft — Fri, 27 Jun 2008 16:34:54 +0000

These two lovebirds were fresh off the plane from New Zealand where they’ve been living for the past several years. They were only State-side, as they say, for around a week– enough time to squeeze their engagement photos in, just a few days before their wedding (photos coming soon!). They are both avid rugby players and actually met through the game. We did a few rugby related shots– with their older college jerseys on and some common rugby moves, one of which (the scrum) you’ll see here. These are some of the photos we did that day…

Photo Contest- May 2008

Brian Kraft — Sun, 22 Jun 2008 23:22:10 +0000

Well, I won the monthly photo contest again. For May, the theme was “Enemies.” The competition was once again very tough. Derek Wiebenson and Matt Pence– both entering some very good photos to make it a good battle. This was the last month that Matt Pence would be competing, very understandably so. He’s a very busy (and talented) guy who is a multi-annual award-winning music producer in Texas, co-owner of a highly regarded recording studio, as well as being the amazing drummer of bands- Centro-matic and South San Gabriel. His photos and participation will be missed. We do have a replacement in place– Gary Inglese in Chicago.

Two of my three “Enemies” entries made it into the top 3 most voted for…

Sara & Tony’s Wedding- June 7, 2008

Brian Kraft — Fri, 13 Jun 2008 23:41:41 +0000

Evergreen Lake House in Colorado is a picture perfect place to have a wedding. Right on the edge of the lake with great views of the water nestled right in the foothills only about 25 minutes from Denver. A lovely setting for such a lovely couple to get married. Sara and Tony are a really wonderful couple and I’m so happy for them both. I had a lot of fun with them and all their family and friends. I’ve got many more photos from their special day, but here is a collection of some. Click below and give the slideshow (with music) a moment to load.

Harvest Week

Brian Kraft — Wed, 11 Jun 2008 20:55:17 +0000

In the early part of September here in Denver many of the top restaurants are taking part in the first-annual Harvest Week. In an effort to “go green”, support local farmers/ranchers/etc, and raise awareness, each restaurant is highlighting a meal from their menu that focuses on local products; whether it’s vegetables that are grown locally or wines made in Colorado or beef raised right here in the area. It’s a wonderful effort, not only for the folks who come to enjoy these amazing “home-grown” meals, but also for the restaurants themselves to make connections with local producers and hopefully discover the wonderful resources that are available right in our own backyard and to further efforts to minimize the “footprint” caused by shipping products in from such far away places.

Highland’s Garden Cafe is taking part and asked me to photograph the meal they’ve created for Harvest Week. Here are the photos from that photo shoot. And yes, I certainly did enjoy eating this meal after my work was done!

Three’s Company

Brian Kraft — Tue, 10 Jun 2008 01:11:56 +0000

Last week I had a photoshoot with some fun kids. Three siblings that are just laid back and were fun to work with. We did part in my studio and part at the park near my studio. Here are some of the photos from that day.
