Guys, photographing portraits in the streets of downtown Denver is my specialty. My love.

There’s so much to play with out there — light bouncing off all of the textures, great street vibe, the colors of the city. The quirky and cool alleys are fun for dramatic and flattering light and unexpected backgrounds. And what I’ve learned through years of doing this is that it’s less important than you’d think which spot you pick, but different neighborhoods do produce different moods to your final session photos.

I’ve got tons more photos from each downtown location in my MAGAZINE, but as a quick, easy to see summary (please give this one a minute to load as there are a lot of pictures here!), here are select images from a few of my go-to favorites:
