The history behind M.I.L.K is in 1999,British publisher Hodder Headline (now Hachette Livre) held a global photographic competition called M.I.L.K. (Moments of Intimacy, Laughter and Kinship). Inspired by the 1950s landmark photographic exhibition, 'The Family of Man', M.I.L.K. began as an epic global search to find unique and geographically diverse images on the themes of friendship, family and love. It was not only the richest in photographic history, but also one of the most significant, drawing participation from 17,000 professional and amateur photographers in 164 countries. In total over 40,000 images were received by M.I.L.K., including at least four Pulitzer Prize winners. The 300 winning images were chosen by the Chief Judge, Magnum photographer Elliott Erwitt, and were the basis for three books entitled Family, Friendship and Love and an international touring exhibition launched at New York's Grand Central Terminal in 2001.
To celebrate the 10th anniversary of the original M.I.L.K. competition, M.I.L.K. Licensing (now a subsidiary of PQ Blackwell), again in association with Elliott Erwitt, is conducting a new competition founded on the themes of friends, families, lovers and laughter to create a new collection of 150 images.
M.I.L.K is a photo contest whose theme is friends, family, lovers and laughter.

happy birthday!
megan and trevor have know each other for 8 years. they grew up together in boulder and have deep roots here. the importance of family, friends, and tradition will shine through at their wedding next june. they will be getting married at grace lutheran church where trevor's grandparents met and will have the reception at the bride's home where she grew up.
for the engagement session, we visited places that had meaning for them - foothills elementary school, their new home, lily (the cutie jack russell), and the field where trevor proposed. to see a slideshow of our afternoon, click HERE.
congratulations megan and trevor! i look forward to your wedding in june 2009.
its time to pack up my summer whites and start shopping for fall sweaters. this weekend marks the end of summer. no more lazy Sunday afternoons at the pool watching my daughter become a water warrior. she also discovered watermelon, a messy event, but she could eat slice after slice. i think she might have loved eating it because we almost always went swimming afterwards to clean up.
something happens when you become a parent and time goes by faster than ever. the days can sometimes be very long but the months are short. sorting through my daughter's photos from the past year, i just can't believe she was ever as small as jack. now she tells me want she wants with words. cookie is a word i hear a lot.
at seven weeks, jack is the sweetest little guy. patient, happy, and wide eyed, he stayed awake for an hour and half. i think the black box and flashes of light transfixed him.

congratulations to your family! enjoy every moment. it all goes by way too quickly.
p.s. i also updated my website last weekend. over the next few weeks i will continue to add work from 2008 so take a peak to see what i have been up too the last 8 months.
aspen in the summer is gorgeous. dani and kris are so lucky to live in such a place and to have their september wedding in the mountains. during their engagement session we took a trip up to the maroon bells which were stunning and the wildflowers were still in bloom. all of their guests are in for such a treat and a visit to the bells in the fall with the golden aspens is a must.
our afternoon started at their wedding location, the aspen meadows resort. the day ended with wine at the j bar at the historic hotel jermone. it was an amazing afternoon/evening.
