Emily- Class of 2013

The summer between my junior and senior year in high school was all about making money and having fun- relishing the last few months of not worrying about much of anything. In short- it was all about me and I remember that summer well.
I have met my polar opposite in Emily.
She spent most of her pre senior year summer in the earthquake & hurricane ravaged country of the Dominican Republic, serving and helping to educate impoverished children.
Unselfishly.
In the brief time I am blessed to talk & photograph great kids like Emily, my hope for this generation is buoyed by kids with a servants heart. The media wants us to think that kids today are the,'its-all-about-me-and-I-want-it-now generation.' I think this stereotype is probably the exception and not the rule based on the kids we meet here.
(And as a parent, I know full well that kids with great character don't just 'happen' because the proverbial apple never falls far from the tree. As such, Scott & Leslie: you are great parents. GREAT parents. And as a father of three young girls, I may be calling you for advice one day!)
So, this is a girl with beauty on the inside that actually overshadows her outside- and as you can see, that is saying a LOT...

Castle Pines Country Club Party

To officially unveil the newly renovated clubhouse and terrace, the Country Club of Castle Pines asked me to photograph their member party to show you all just how spectacular this place is. 
I love to play golf and their Jack Nicklaus designed course is amazing in every way- but I would join this club just for the clubhouse amenities, food, service... and the VIEWS!  There cannot be a more impressive place to bring friends or business associates than here.  Experience the panoramic views in the Jack Nicklaus Signature Room for dinner where you have a unique menu that is second to none.  Finish your night relaxing by one of the many outdoor fireplaces with a glass of wine on the heated outdoor patio.
Take a look at their website and then schedule your visit to the new clubhouse- THIS is Castle Pines living and one of the many reason I love my neighborhood so much!
