As my business grows I have started covering some local events. Last Saturday, I had the opportunity to shoot the HERA Climb for Life event at home in Boulder. HERA benefits ovarian cancer and they raised of 58k for the foundation that day alone!

Here are some of my favorites...

#1 - the morning started out with a yoga session to get the mind & body ready for the big day ahead

#3 - there was a hike along with climbing, so I covered both as much as I could. A lot of participants made it personal by wearing reminders of lost ones.
