      Leila and Luke have a big week coming up: next week they graduate from medical school and get married! To celebrate these milestones, they met me last night for a portrait session in Memorial Park. We walked around Prospect Lake as the sun set over the mountains. I love how these photos showcase the landscape of their Colorado home as they prepare to move out of state for their medical residencies. Congratulations, Leila and Luke! I can’t wait until the wedding next week!

      aww, she is so adorable and looks so happy.

      Oh that was you? How cool! I’m sorry I was shooting across the sidewalk! I actually thought that I was in your way. 😉 Next time please stop and say hi if you get a chance!

      LOL, so true! But it never hurts to ask. 😉

      Thanks! I use lots of lenses actually. Most of these photos were taken with the Canon 70-200 f2.8 and the Canon 16-35mm f2.8.

      Thanks! I use the original Canon 5D.

      I’m so glad you think so, thanks!

      I saw you taking the photos at the lake! I was roller skating with my friend (yes, we are Derby Dames). Didn’t want to interrupt you anymore than we did by flying through your shots, so I didn’t say anything! These are beautiful, I love this park.

      i see this all the time and it’s really annoying… people asking about the lens and camera when it’s the photographer who makes the photos!

      great set of images again, i love your work! 🙂

      These are beautiful! I love all your work, thanks for sharing!

      Charlotte these are amazing! You are so talented!

      so beatiful…
      please, can’t you tell what the lens do you shoot on?

      Looks like I wasn’t the only one! XD

      Oh, okay. It’s LEILA and Luke.

      For a moment there, I thought I’d read “Leia and Luke.” XD

      They look like a very lovely couple. I especially like your “golden hour” and sunset pictures in this set. 🙂

      The sunset picture are my favorites with the second to last photo in this post being my favorite.

      I don’t recall if you’ve answered this before, but may I ask what camera you use?

      Don’t feel bad, I wanted to make Star Wars jokes too!

      Ha, ok. Well, it was an honest mistake.

      What A Week!

      Graduating from Med School and getting married within the same week??

      They must have discovered a way to stay awake 24/7 without needing sleep!

      Nope, but that would be awesome. You missed an L.

      Beautiful as always, but I just gotta ask:

      Luke and Leia? Seriously?
