Brand New Baby!!! Newborn Baby Family Photographer in Denver and Boulder Colorado

Sweethearts since high school, the Trahan family has expanded by one! I was honored to make their first portrait with their little baby boy up here at The Tintype Company's home studio in Sunshine Canyon outside of Boulder.

We made three plates with this beautiful little family. They were a dream. Never have you met a more cooperative one-month old! For the final plate, a portrait with just mother and son, the little fella fell asleep. He was positioned perfectly. Mom's blue eyes were electric. I adjusted the kicker so that it would wrap around mom's head and slightly illuminate baby's face... just a hint of specularity. It turned out great... I love this shot!!

10 YEAR WEDDING ANNIVERSARY GIFT OF TIN(type) OR ALUMINUM - DENVER FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHER

Did you know that the gift for a 10-year wedding anniversary is Tin or Aluminum? This is perfect for wet plate photography!!! While we used to use actual tin for tintypes, tin must be japanned else it rusts. Japanning is tough, so today we use aluminum trophy plates instead.

Brian and Stacey came up to the tintype studio for a 10 year wedding anniversary portrait with a very particular shot in mind, but it wasn't this double exposure.

Posing couples isn't the easiest thing to do in the world, so I typically show folks examples of poses I've done in the past that might be appealing to them. We then practice with an iPad to determine what actually looks and feels good to them. Among the examples I showed Brian and Stacey was a double exposure of two faces superimposed on top of each other. They liked the idea a lot and wanted to try it. It turned out amazing!

We also shot the portrait they arrived with in their minds, complete with the bouquet of flowers that Stacey crocheted 10 years ago for their actually wedding. It turned out pretty flippin' cool too!!!

DENVER WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER - TINTYPE ENGAGEMENT SESSION - WISHING FOR COLOR

As a Colorado tintype photographer I love black and white - but for this engagement / wedding portrait session I was wishing I could shoot in color. Most couples choose traditional wares for their wedding, but not Craig and Sam! You can't tell by looking at these, but they went with shades of purple, and they looked flippin' sharp!
