While his mom and I were chatting on the phone I discovered that Anders is a huge fan of trains – well hello!  There are REAL LIFE old train tracks in my backyard!  Anders knew this before he came to my studio and guess what the first words out of his mouth were? “Can we go in your backyard?”  All the while holding his two favorite toy trains.

Thank you Anders for smiling for me and my camera – your mom will will treasure these shots of your big tooth-full smile.  I’m looking forward to family portraits in the spring!

Thank you Quinn for being such an angel during our shoot & thank you to your loving family for sharing you with me that morning!

Meridith, Fiona and baby Harper brought over bagels and coffee last October so we could capture some portraits of the newest addition to their family.  Meridith is a super excited Mommy to sweet Harper and just officially found out that her adoption is finalized!

I snagged as much cuddletime as I could with Harper and all her cushy rolls of chubbiness…I can’t tell you how many times I had to set my camera aside just so I could giggle with her during our shoot.

I’m bubbling over with happiness for Mer, Fiona, Harper & Gary – congrats to your fabulous new family!  I feel so lucky that I get to continue watch you all grow!  xoxo

  • Grateful to have met every one of my amazing clients
  • Grateful to have grown though my experience with each client
  • Grateful to cultivate creativity
  • Grateful to have my passion be such a large part of my life
  • Grateful to share art with others

 

A huge THANK YOU to every single one of you who supported and enjoyed my photography this past year.  Here’s to another amazing year in 2012!  xoxo

This year she invited me to her home in Arvada for a fun shoot in the big park just past their backyard. 3 year old James gave me an awesome workout that morning while I chased him around and sweet little Charlie made me laugh until I cried by his new fascination with making fart noises with his mouth.

Thank you Jenny for having me capture your family again this year – it is the biggest compliment to have clients ask me back!

Once again we all had a great time running around and laughing.  Thank you Harper for brightening my day and keeping me on my toes during our shoot ;)

Dedra & I lived in Kittridge West together during our first year at CU Boulder together.  Joe also lived in our dorm but we never crossed paths…even with all our trips to the Hard Drive Cafe for free pop ;)

D & Joe met in their senior year and now have a beautiful life together.  They invited me to their sweet home to capture some portraits of baby-to-be during this amazing time of their lives.

It’s so exciting to think that in a few short weeks their family will grow by one.  I can’t wait to meet this little angel!
