A Wee Little Guy

I had the pleasure of capturing my youngest newborn to date. He was only a week and a half old! Even though he was a big baby (8 1/2 lbs) he was still oh so small, and was an angel for his photographic debut. Thank you so much for sharing your new little man with me. I hope these images will be something you all will treasure for a lifetime!

So alert for a little one!

He still had his umbilical cord stump

How sweet is this?

Brother and Sister...part 1

I really don't have too much to say about this family. I just LOVE them...like they were my own. I was thrilled to get a chance to do some Christmas shots of just the brother and sister. With a little incentive (of the candy nature) they were full of smiles. What I love about this set of pictures, you can tell that they love each other. That's something no amount of candy can buy. I hope you guys like your sneak peek! Thanks for letting me crash your Saturday!

Extended Family Session

I had the pleasure this past weekend to work with siblings and their families. What a great Christmas gift! A moment in time forever captured. I know as a mom, (and a very sentimental person, at that) I just eat this kind of stuff up! This is a treasure not only for the mom that receives it, but for the kids that are in it. One day they get to show their children what it looked like when they were kids hanging out with their cousins, aunts, and uncles. That's why I love what I do. I LOVE being a part of creating a family heirloom and preserving family history...I hope you guys enjoy your sneak peek! Thanks for a great afternoon ;-)

Coming Soon...A Maternity Session

I got a chance to sneak in and do this maternity session right before baby is due to arrive. This sweet couple is about to welcome their first little bundle of joy tomorrow! I just squeaked in! I had a great time photographing this couple in their home that was completely ready for baby to arrive. She even had the Christmas decorations up in anticipation of what a busy holiday season this would be for them. We even got dad to participate in some pictures...as long as he could get back to his football games quickly hehe...I hope you enjoy your sneak peek, and best wishes for tomorrow!

Some more Fall!

This weekend's session had some more Fall color...it just is no longer on the trees. I had to get creative in order to sneak in some of the yellows that were left (no more reds :-( ). Thankfully the barn is there, which to me still spells out Fall because I think of harvest. The brothers had a great time together playing, and just being themselves. They played in the dirt, played some ring -around-the-rosie, as well as just all out running! It was a great time. I hope I was able to capture some memories of this family in the fun time of life they are at right now. Thanks for a great session, and I hope you enjoy your sneak peek!







What's so funny?!

Halloween-o-rama!

OK, ok I should be proofing client sessions (sorry to those still waiting patiently), but I HAD to take a break and document my kids on Halloween...they were to-die-for cute this year, if I do say so myself :). I have the pictures to prove it (of course I do ;) )

Guess who the Moo went as:


That's right...Dorothy, and she picked that out herself!

Check out the braids

And the dude? We were going to force him to go as the Cowardly Lion, but Dude has been sporting some serious personality these days and has taken quite the liking to...
Buzz .... Light Year that is!

What can I say, the kid likes to be a "Super Hero" and "Shoot off his lasers" and most importantly he likes to fly and yell "to n n n n ninfinity and yeond!" translation: To infinity and beyond!. You know I didn't teach him that! How can you take that away from a little dude and force him to be a lion? So my kids got to be what they wanted to be, and didn't have to fit into any kind of theme this year...novel idea, I know! Guess what? They had a BLAST! I might get crazy and allow this to happen every year!...maybe, but there are already talks about being Woody and Jessie next year (Toy Story 2)...we'll see! For now I will let you have a peek into our lives on Halloween (which I think is their favorite day besides Christmas)...Yup, here come more pictures...

The long road ahead:


To Infinity and Beyond:


She's made it to Oz


Buzz Light Year to the rescue


We're off to see the Wizard





Sibling love






Practicing what it would be like to go Trick-or-treating together



They went to bed asking if they could do it again tomorrow...Aaah....pure happiness! Hope you had some happiness today too!

Family Session

Well, I think that I am officially trying to squeeze every last drop of color out of Fall this year. This past session was still full of color, even though the trees and most bushes were almost completely bare. I was thrilled to see my clients show up in black and cream. Those clothing choices allowed the color that was left to really shine through. The little girl is so stinkin' cute it actually hurt at times :). That headband had my heart pitter-pattering. Her outfit was so cute and different, that it inspired me to find a new processing technique. I think I really like it! I don't know what am going to call it. It has a very vintage feel, but also has a pink undertone to it making it a bit more feminine...any ideas for names are welcome. Thanks guys for such a wonderful and patient session. I hope you enjoy your sneak peek!

Ok, here's the new vintage finish...

Precious Newborn

I had the pleasure of working with this sweet little 3 weeker. She was just precious, and she had quite the audience! She was lucky enough to have her grandparents visiting her for the first time while I was there, which made for some beautiful portraits. You can see the love and excitement that they have for their 1st granddaughter. Even though this little angel wasn't fond of anything on her head, she did humor us for a few pictures with a sweet little headband. My favorite part of the session was just getting to experience all the love in the home. You could really just feel it (and sometimes see it, when a few tears of joy snuck out). What a blessing this little baby is to this family. Thank you for sharing her with me! I hope you enjoy your sneak peek!

That blanket used to belong to Grandpa...what a sweet heirloom.

Large Casual Family Session

I have been blessed lately with clients that are just troopers! The Colorado weather changes so fast. We have to be prepared for just about anything. Unlike my last session where the clients were sweating in their wool sweaters, this session my clients were doing whatever it took not to get blown away! It was a WINDY session, but we managed to find pockets and lulls and thankfully everyone was up for the challenge...even the kids! I was able to go back to a location that I haven't shot at in about 4 months, and it was nice for a change of pace. The barn not only served as a nice wind block, but was a great backdrop for this family. The session was nice and casual, and you will feel it in these pictures...you just want to join them, don't you? Thanks so much for such a great session, and for all your patience with the wind! I hope you enjoy your sneak peek!

Feels Like Fall!

Or not! Don't let these cozy Fall looking portraits fool you. It was TOASTY that day. Add the wool sweaters and jackets, and these clients thought they were going to melt! These guys were a bunch of troopers walking around and posing while they tried not to die of the heat. However hot it was that morning, in the Fall clothing, it was worth it for some of that beautiful fall color that is just about gone...This session was full of golds and reds...Oh, and I would NEVER complain about the heat in October...I LOVE it! :) Thanks guys, for stomping around in Indian Summer temps in your Fall clothes all with a great attitudes and heaps of patience. I hope you like your sneak peek!

I love this...sneaking a peek at mom and dad!
