About sandypucblog

Sandy’s passion for connecting with people and her remarkable ability to capture her subjects’ personality make her one of the world’s premier portrait photographers. She holds the prestigious titles of Print Master and Explorer of Light from Canon USA and has served on the Board of Directors for the Professional Photographers of America. She isn’t as concerned with those titles, though, as much as she is proud of her ability to transform a single moment in her studio into an invaluable, time-transcending work of art. Sandy first established herself and her studio with heart-touching children’s portraits and remains one of the world’s most-respected children’s portrait photographers to this day. Charity and education play significant roles in Sandy’s life as well, as Sandy Puc Portrait Design is consistently involved with the Susan G. Komen for the Cure, Locks of Love, Operation Smile, The Children’s Hospital, The Food Bank of the Rockies and The Denver Dumb Friends League. Sandy is also a co-founding member of Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep, a non-profit organization that provides portraiture services to families whose babies will never leave the hospital. Complementing Sandy are three incredibly skilled Associate Photographers: Helen Noakes, Liz Ogg and Sean Rozales. Combined, Helen, Liz and Sean have been with Sandy for 14 years. Each Associate has extensive professional photography education in addition to specific training under Sandy. Getting your portrait taken can be unnerving, even stressful for some, but Puc’ and her staff have a knack for putting their subjects at ease.

Sandy Puc’ Photography Locks of Love Charity Event

Sandy Puc’ Photography Locks of Love Charity Event

We had a great turn out last Saturday for our annual Locks of Love Charity Event. Overall, 150 inches of hair was donated to Locks of Love. This charity is such a great way to give back and best of all, you get the chance to make a difference in the lives of sick children. The hair that was donated will supply hair that will be used to make wigs. Thanks to all the girls that participated in this event, and we can’t wait to do this again next year!

*Special thanks to Littleton Hair Company for cutting and styling hair.

Your 2012 Spring Color Palette for Outdoor Family Portraits

Your 2012 Spring Color Palette for Outdoor Family Portraits

This time of year is perfect for an outdoor family portrait session. Regardless of the location you want, be it a mountain field or a local park or garden, there are lots of wardrobe options to consider. Here are a few of our favorite looks for this season.

First, consider the spring color palette this year from Pantone.  Most designers favor any combination of these shades in their spring lines.

You can create a stylish look with any one of these colors, simply paired with white or other neutrals, such as the Starfish or Driftwood shades. Alternately, these colors can work well together to create a more playful or dramatic look. Some of the stronger hues like Bellflower, Cabaret and Tangerine Tango will make great accent colors for accessories, shoes and jewelry.

Here are some fun spring looks from Gap:

You can create a variety of looks with these color ideas, from casual to sophisticated, splashy to subdued. If you use a strong color, be sure to balance it out with plenty of white or neutral pieces as well. Above all, be sure to let each family member’s personality shine through. Call us today to set up an appointment for your family’s portraits along with a free consultation with our sales team. We will make sure you are well prepared for your photo shoot, wardrobe and all! 303.730.8638

Nutritional and Easy Homemade Baby Foods your Little One will Love

Nutritional and Easy Homemade Baby Foods your Little One will Love

Avocado

Serve fresh, mashed with a touch of garlic salt. If you’re feeling fancy, add finely diced tomatoes.

Peas


One cup contains more protein than a tablespoon of peanut butter! Steam or boil until tender and puree. Tastes wonderful with steamed and pureed carrots as well!

Squash


Many varieties are perfect for one of baby’s first foods. Roast until tender, puree and voila! Stir in some applesauce and a pinch of cinnamon for a delicious dish.

Peaches and Pears


You can use fresh or canned peaches and pears. Simply slice, mash and serve for a yummy treat any time.

Remember – You should always consult your pediatrician about all dietary choices for your baby. Be sure to allow a week after you introduce a new food, before you introduce another. Use clean hands and utensils when preparing baby food, and be sure that foods are at a comfortable temperature before giving them to your baby.

Bon’ appetite!
