Hi, I’m Anna, welcome to my blog. Relax a minute, kick your feet up and take a peek at my work. If you look around a bit, you’ll see that I absolutely ADORE people! They’re my favorite subjects. There’s just something about capturing someone’s soul. It’s quite an attractive job to me.

I specialize in natural lighting photography…there’s just a special warmth to it. I love photographing ordinary events in a unique way. Such an adventure!

What do you say? Shall we jazz things up a bit? :)

::Colorado Immortalized - My Trip::

SO.......
I did it!!!  I took TONS of pictures on that wonderful vacation...over 900, to be exact.  *gulp*
Oh but don't worry!  I'm not about to show you that many.  ;)  I know I said in my last entry that I would post my Top-10 from the trip when I got back.
Tsk tsk...how silly of me.
I should've known I'd end up with more favorites than that!  In fact, I have my Top-11 favorites here for your viewing pleasure.
...PLUS a bunch of others that I just couldn't resist sharing.  Those speak to me more from the memories than from the artistic qualities they posses.  ;)

Well, here goes!  And I sure hope you enjoy ALL of them as much as I do...and not just the Top-11.  :)

Frosty leaves in Aurora one morning.

Another shot from that same morning.  :)

Stretching watermelon salt-water taffy in the Georgetown Valley Candy Company.  So.  Incredibly.  Good.

Sunset near Red Rocks.  *sigh*  Oh, to be there once more!

Do not touch.  It's sharp.

My first attempts at nighttime, city photography.

Photobucket
At 16th Street Mall in downtown Denver.

There you go!  There are my Top-11!  And I've got several more for y'all down below.  :)
If you are interested in purchasing any Fine Art Prints from this collection, feel free to email me at

We can discuss products, sizing, and pricing.  These would make great gifts for home decor.
I know I'll be getting some made!  ;)

Photobucket
The old, rusty truck we passed everyday.  :)

Photobucket
Frosted Evergreens.

And icicle in Breckenridge.  It was tasty.

Pooch.

The windy mountains of Breckenridge.

Red Rocks...mind-blowingly huge!

My delicious pear-brulee...somethin...yummay!  Courtesy of D-Bar Desserts in uptown Denver.
By far the most tangy, custard-y, sweet, crispy, icy, vanilla-ish, crunchy, caramel-y thing I've EVER put into my mouth.  *two thumbs way up*

And last, but not least...the gang.
I know.  We're disheveled, uncoordinated, sunglass-ed, and pixilated...
But it's US!!!  And I wouldn't have it any other way.  :)
Photobucket
Katie, Ellie, and Em,
I love you girls, with all my heart...and can't WAIT for another adventure!

I sure hope this gives you a good idea of the grandeur which is Colorado!  
Who knows?  I may do a "Part 2" post...there ARE about 900 pictures, after all.  ;)
Blessings,

~Anna Grace

I definitely think you should post a part two.
And a part three.
And maybe a part four.
"... there ARE about 900 pictures, after all." :)

It looks like you had a wonderful time!
I was so jealous when I saw the picture of the mango, strawberry, and chocolate-almond gelato; gelato is the best! :)
