Shoot

TravelingJules is home again, home again, jiggity jig!  If you haven't seen me, well, that's because I've been hiding in my cave, punching away at the computer day and night, or out in the field fiddling with camera gear.  :P  It's been busy!

Here's a little taste of what I've been up to!  Hold on to your hats!

Travel Video


Commerical Work

Weddings


Small Business Videos

Non-Profit

Filming with Heidi for SmashCam's Fan Challenge at the 2012 USA Pro Cycling Challenge!

We girls like to play with our gear!

Capturing all the inspiring stories of the hip and business-savvy women at the first ever TasteMakers event in Denver!  What a great event!

Behind the scenes at a recent Walmart commercial, filming at the 50 yard line at the University of Colorado at Boulder!!!  There's a first time for everything!  ;)  How cool is that!

Denver Art Walk

Filming the First Friday Art Walk on Santa Fe.  It's hard being your own camera woman and talent, but a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do.

Shooting in the mountains for Camp Discovery.  Got to meet many amazing women who jumped out of their wheelchairs to answer the call of adventure.  What brave women!

Capturing all the beautiful memories at the Pham + Ly (family) Wedding--from traditional tea ceremonies to the chapel, to one super-fun reception (with a photo booth, of course!).

Thanks to my buddies Dan Penhale with Intermountain Productions and Allison Otto for helping out!

And thanks to my buddy Susan Om for being a good friend.  We've been buddies since 2nd grade!!!

Celebrating the world premiere of my buddy Duzer's latest documentary, Mama Picchu--a tribute to Mom's everywhere!  Well done, Duzer!!!  

The Boulder Theater never looked so good.   Check it out: http://youtu.be/xGupXiUEpBw 

What a night!  :P

Photo bombing a few TV shows!  I may have made a few cameos in some upcoming shows...If you look fast, you might see me dodging runaway ambulances and witnessing chase scenes at the Tattered Cover in a new Animal Planet show.  :P

Check out these hotties!  We're a dream team for any travel show!  Who could say no to us?  

Back once again

After returning home from my crazy summer adventure, life seems to have picked up exactly where it left off...with hip scarves to shimmy, friends and family abound, and a little (or a lot) of shopping for camera gear (I seem to have expensive tastes).  Yes, there's been plenty going on!

Mumford and Sons Concert at Red Rocks!  AMAZING!!!

Kitty reunion!  Had a special visit from Jordan!  Party at Joe's and brunch at Stuben's.  Just like the good old days.

Hanging out with Haej in LoHi (almost as cool as Gangnam) + shoe shoppin' with Amy.  Lots of friends in town!

Becoming very jealous of Jax's Hello Kitty iPhone accessory + learning the Gangnam Style dance.  Go Korea!

Everyone loves chocolate bacon cupcakes from Tee & Cakes!

My mom and I are so sad our favorite restaurant, Thai Hiep, is no longer open!  :(  We've been going there since I was in middle school!  Where will we lunch now?  At least we have lobster bisque at Brio!

Family trip to Minnesota

Did you know there's actually a town (or four towns) named Julesburg?

We made a quick little stop in Omaha on the way to grandma's house.  The Old Market and the Omaha Zoo are definitely worth a visit!  

Hello, Saint James!  Uffda!

Love you Grandma!  Watch out for the "po".

The adventure begins...

Stay tuned!

TTFN, Denver!

Before reporting for duty for the "Dream Travel Job," I had a long goodbye-hug with my hometown in Denver.  I'll be away for 2.5 months, shooting and hosting travel videos (now that sounds like a dream job!), which means, there's plenty to do to get ready!

It was wonderful to celebrate my new gig with friends over pints with my friends at Vine Street Pub.  That patio is just too darn perfect on a beautiful Spring day...and my friends are all too amazing as well!  

  

 

I spent some time exploring the city like a tourist.  My buddy Kylie and I did a grand tour of Lo-Hi before heading she headed back to Australia, and Scottie stopped through Denver as well.

I enjoyed a few colorful cocktails and crafty ice cubes...
 
And showed off a little Kickball spirit.  Whoever invented slosh kickball should win an award.  I love this tradition.

 

Whoever invented sleepy time yoga class should also win an award.  This is so relaxing.  You grab a blanket and eye mask and do five poses for ten minutes each--so you basically just lay there for an hour.  HA!

Hiking with dad in Deer Creek Canyon was sure pretty pretty!  My dad knows all the plant names and can even get a butterfly to pose for a photo!

And my mom and I sure know how to have "FUN"!  Whether we're road trippin' across the USA or just eaten' noodles bowls and shoppin' 'til we're droppin'.  We hope this year's Best of the Road contestants have tons of FUN this summer!  It looks like Rand McNally is gassing up the RV and getting ready to hit the road.  And it looks like we're comin' with.  Haha.

Shout out to the best creatives in town and Sauce Society!  I will miss a few of these fun gatherings...but there will be more.  

 

Ciao, Denver!  See you in a few months!
