Bridal Portraits at Garden of the Gods

Jacquelyn Baumgartner, September 2008

IPS (and etc...)

Yes, yes... Just a few images from this fabulous few weeks in Manitou Springs, Colorado. I really can't believe how much I've enjoyed this time. I had no idea how great it was to be able to communicate your passion to another and see their enthusiasm grow about the same thing! I love photography!! - I know that now more than ever - and I am ever grateful that God has allowed me this opportunity to pass on this excitement.

Sometimes I think I'll positively BUST because I'm so happy about life.

Yay!

I'm working on the presentations that I'm teaching at IPS (www.ips.iblp.org) this week, and as I'm dragging pictures into ppt I keep thinking about each picture and remembering the amazing stories that go along with them...

This one is in Guatemala City, Guatemala - Elizabeth and I went to get a chicken for lunch and this pobre pollo was quite fresh and cute, but not as cute as the little lady and her daughter who helped us... :) I can't wait to go back!!

flowergirls

Yep, they're the cutest ever...

thanks to a boyscout!

Jacob must have been around 11 years old. He was visiting Mt. Rushmore with his troop from Minnesota, and we got to chatting... he loves camping and his mom, and he bought her a blue necklace from the gift shop. Good little man. I asked him if he would mind taking a picture of my friend Hannah and I, and as I showed him where to put his responsible young hands on the huge body of the Mark III, the rest of his troop began to take an interest. "That's the picture, right there," was the remark of one of the troop leaders as I was giving him his impromptu lesson. He took a couple of test clicks, and then I ran and hopped in the picture. I wish that you guys could've seen it... five of his friends got out their point and shoots and took a picture of him taking a picture of us... :) Made my day.

Thank you, Jacob.
