Thank you for checking out my blog and work. Go to the new site, write a comment and tell me what you think of the new design.
Julie and Joe were married at gorgeous Sylvan Dale Guest Ranch in Loveland, CO. Their wedding was full of vibrant color and fun. I was particularly taken by Julie’s spectacular dress with a cranberry train. The flowers were perfectly chosen to enhance Julie’s gorgeous gown. A white dove release by Emerald Green Doves ended a perfect ceremony.
Julie and Joe’s wedding was simply gorgeous. Sylvan Dale Guest Ranch has been voted “Best Place to Get Married” 3 years in a row by the Reporter Herald Readers’ Choice Awards and I can understand why. Was it the beautiful outdoor ceremony site over looking the heart shaped pond, Breathtaking Colorado Rockie views, the Big Thompson River, lots of beautiful photo spots, the Rustic Elegance of the Heritage Lodge with it’s lovely wrap around porch and fireplace or just the friendly staff. It’s a great place to host a wedding.
Congratulations Julie and Joe! Thank you for having me photograph your wedding.

Working in the wedding industry I get to meet some very talented vendors. In my travels I have gotten to know Maggie of Nobility Strings and she is a super lady. Not only is she a doll to work with but she is an extremely talented cello player. Last week Maggie asked me to take photos of the quartet for their website. The day was a hot one but the group was endearing and played and posed beautifully. Thank you for enduring a 104 degree day. Your music is beautiful and I look forward to working with you again soon. Enjoy the photos.
If you want to add a touch of class to your wedding or corporate event hire a string quartet. Live music is the easiest way to set the mood for an elegant event. And they don’t only play classical music but a wide variety of songs. Just look at the small sample of items on their play list - Broadway and Jazz , even some popular songs.
Support local talent and add a touch of class to your event.

Photography has changed with the advent of digital cameras.
Well, photography hasn’t changed very much but how we process the images has…
With Digital Photography taking the photo isn’t the end it is the beginning of the digital workflow.
In the film days your lab worked with a negative in the dark room to ensure a great image for printing. Today photographers work in front a a computer to tweak the digital image for top notch printing. A professional photographer takes the time to finish an image before creating prints or albums. We use a program called photoshop to give all of our images a little TLC before printing. Since every image is different each photo is examined to determine the best steps to make the image shine.
Below is an example. The photo on the left is straight out of the camera - not a bad image. The photo on the right has gone through our digital workflow - color correction, exposure control, blemish removal, warm it up, sharpen. Notice how Connie’s skin is glowing and you can really see the gorgeous highlights in her hair. Her face is sharper and the sexy red couch and yellow walls in the background shine. The goal isn’t to dramatically alter an image but to just tweak it a little to make it pop.
So when you order a print from us the photo has been given JSP’s extra special touch. Watch the blog for more examples.
