Something about being home for Christmas felt distinctly different this year; something felt like it was missing. I should blame the timing; we usually stay longer after Christmas day. But it just felt more like a product of our ages. All the members of my family seemed to go their separate ways far more often and I felt like I had less quality time with each person. But what brought us all to the table as usual were the games...Apples to Apples is always a favorite. So this is a post I hold close to my heart, to remember the rare, real fun we all had.

I'm the lucky one who got to spend a day with this awesome Colorado bluegrass band and shoot their pictures for their website, promo materials, and new album! 

First we stumbled on a local winery with three great backdrops: the mountains, a barn complete with antlers, and a great Victorian looking home and porch. The winery owners were happy to let us use their property for the shoot, as long as the band played a few tunes (hence the shot with the wine bottle below). Then we went over to find a church and also stumbled upon a great little spot with a white house and green trim and craggy peaks in the background. In the evening, they had a gig at the Rustic Station, a perfect hunting lodge type feel for the shoot.

Here are some of my favorites from the wonderful Saturday we spent together up in Bailey and Conifer, Colorado!
