Denver Wedding and Portrait Photographer | Michele Schanker | 303.242.7268 » Lifestyle Photojournalistic Photography

I obviously love Photography, that I shouldn’t have to tell you. But as your photographer I like you to get to know me and my personality a little bit. Another big passion of mine is being active. I love running, skiing, riding my new bike, and hiking. When I say hiking…I mean big hikes. I usually don’t consider it a hike unless its at least 10 miles. I’m not the type to sit on the couch and watch TV..I’d much rather be moving all the time. Now what kind of photographer would I be if I didn’t post some photos as well. This past weekend my husband and I hiked to top of the highest mountain in the continental USA. Mt Whitney. Here is some of what I captured.

So I rarely ever post photos of me in action….not sure if that’s just cause I don’t have many, or if I just don’t like posting photos of myself. See..that’s why I do photography…I love being behind the camera, but not necessarily in front of the camera. Here is one that was captured during last nights wedding.

It has become almost an annual tradition now that my husband and I go back to Maryland for a weekend in May to attend the Preakness at Pimlico. This year it happened to fall right on Dave’s birthday! So we just had to go again. We had tons of fun yelling for the horses to win, watching all the people in their colorful hats, and just hanging out with family and friends. This year we had excellent seats..we were able to walk right up to the railing which meant some really decent photos.

I have already gotten a few inquires for the end of December, so before I forget, I wanted to post letting everyone know that I will not be taking any bookings or wedding photography inquiries from Dec 23rd through Jan 15th 2009. If you send me an email during this time period, please realize that the response may be rather slow as I will be on an extended vacation during the holiday time period. I will definitely get back to you around Jan 15th.
